Luddite is correct. It just isn't the insult you thought it was. I'll add to the above commenter by saying that the Luddites were textile workers, which was the most highly skilled labor force in the world up to that point. They had I think a 6 year apprenticeship to learn to work with their very complex machines. The Luddites were the software engineers of their time.

They didn't want to do away with the machines, they wanted the workers to be in charge of what machines were used, when, where, and how. They were specifically concerned with the markedly lower quality of the fabric being produced with the new machines. In the burgeoning industrial capitalist economy, this could be considered an early example of enshitification. The Luddites were a labor movement concerned with the bosses ruining their craft with cost cutting measures, and they got branded as strict anti-technology primitivists so hard that it's still the common cultural understanding today.

There are of course no modern parallels for this and anyone skeptical of AI's usage today is definitely a primitivist that wants the AI genie put back in the bottle. /s

To quote Cory Doctorow "What's important isn't what a machine does, it's who it does it for and who it does it to."

Sort of. The plan is "convene to make a plan" 72 hours after Linus's git stops updating. I should have been a little more clear though that people have been calling for a democratic secession plan to happen now instead of when Linus passes or steps away.

Amish is also wrong. The Amish aren't against technology which is why you'll see Amish communities using things like credit card readers, industrial motors, and even computers.

The Ordnung, an Amish community's governing body, will review proposals for technological adoption every 6 months and hear arguments for and against adoption. The decision to adopt is screened against potential harm to the community based on a number of factors.

Honestly, the model the Amish use would be an excellent way to achieve a pro-social form of what the Luddites wanted to achieve.

I didn't know Luddites were an actual thing back in the day, so i guess i learned something today, but according to wikipedia these days it's used as a term for people who are against new technologies in general, which isn't accurate cause i'm not against new technologies in general, i just have an issue with genAI in particular. I don't see how Amish would apply here either. Amish don't have a problem with specifically genAI, they just reject most things from modern society, including a lot of technology.
