Frankly, tech deserves its bad reputation in SF (and worldwide, really).

One look at the dystopian billboards bragging about trying to replace humans with AI should make any sane human angry at what tech has done. Or the rising rents due to an influx of people working on mostly useless AI startups, 90% of which won't be around in 5 years. Or even how poorly many in tech behave in public and how poorly they treat service workers. That's just the tip of the iceberg, and just in SF alone.

I say all this as someone living in SF and working in tech. As a whole, we've brought the hate upon ourselves, and we deserve it.
