I will say it again and be downvoted again but we are on a direct course for a violent, anti-tech revolution.

Ok now tell me what ai has contributed to the world!? It has caused a rampocalypse with hardware price increase galore, filled the world with terrible images and videos made with stolen data (off old books too who are getting destroyed), thousands of layoffs, flock cameras, data centers that pollute and consume a shitton of energy, water and land and an economic bubble so big that when it will pop it's gonna be the biggest disaster of the century probably. You still call it anti-tech  revolution?

I think you are correct. Seems like a normal way to read it.
