ugh has someone been whingeing that leftists merely hate all #technology simply because of #LLM scammers grabbing up all the popular media coverage of technology?
people do realize this, yeah? do they realize that "technology" has multiple meanings? the word "technology", as used by mainstream culture and tech reporting, refers to an exceptionally narrow sliver of the entire space of applied science and engineering—i.e. technology in the most literal sense.
Bicycles are technology. Refrigerators and washing-machines are technology. Pills and medicines are technology. Toothpicks and dental floss are technology. Technology means a billion different things—but not to the cloud-cuckoo world of the #entrepreneur and the #investor devoted to "technology", nor to the vast ecosystem of commentators and speculators and Internet chatterers who spend their lives chasing the hottest new trends in "technology"...all of which trends center on a tiny handful of lucrative fields.
