Luis SuarezOooh, and one more, if I may, perhaps a tad more poignant than the previous one I shared:
"Evangelists in corporations or governments may like to tell us it is as a way of undermining our sense of collective agency, but together with the infinite cast who make up the history of techno-negativity, we know better. At a time when Big Tech is becoming enamored with authoritarian politics, the stakes are higher than ever"
Another noteworthy quote from that blog post:
"With the emergence of the industrial revolution, technology had become a weapon wielded by the capitalist classes. Against this emergent capitalism, the Luddites developed a spirit of collectivism, fighting for themselves, for their fellow workers, and for a future beyond self-interest and profit"
"With every leap in technological advancement, we witness a fierce urge to undo it. Technologies are invented, attacked, delayed, dropped, delayed, re-emerge, vanish again"

Wonder whether that techno-negativity was as fierce in the good old #Web20 / #Enterprise20 days than nowadays with #GenAI. Did we miss it? 🤔
