People once lauded for their desire to use technology to improve people's lives are now openly & persistently advocating for decimating public sector unions as well as replacing workers with generative AI trained on stolen works. The latter is particularly jarring: an embrace of technosolutionism 100% at odds with the lessons learned by actual practitioners about the real nature of this kind of work and the value of human expertise.

It's always wise to see an opportunity and also analyse a trap hidden inside it. Technology was really meant and expected to improve people's lives although it has actually only improved the lives of the rich while replacing the poor. Is the world better now with Technology or worse?
