I'm at the Ned Ludd point where I'm viscerally disgusted by people who share 20-years-younger-me's wide-eyed optimism about "the digital revolution" and all that shit How can you not see that the people most empowered by the "digital revolution" are the worst people in the world

If I wanted to reduce the amount of harm that tech has caused in the most significant way it has caused harm -- replacing human workers -- I would make tech bad I would require all code to be proprietary, obfuscated and maintained by a single team of six aging stupid programmers

Replacing human workers is not necessarily a bad thing, unless the system is set up only to value humans doing work. Which is still scarcity-based thinking; except with an effective surplus of labour, you can treat *jobs* as the scarce commodity, and unemployment as a bogeyman.
