    …these young people were saying en masse, “Your vision of our future is not our vision of our future, and we don’t feel you really have our interest at heart.”

    That about sums it up. The tech douchebags’ vision of the future fucking sucks. They think more, and increasingly more complex machine and computer technology will solve every problem. It’s delusional horse shit.

    Increasing technological complexity requires exponentially increasing energy and resource use, for rapidly diminishing returns. The solutions to human problems are human, not machine. The solutions are also environmental because humans cannot be separated from our environment, as much as the technology fetishists would like to believe that we can be. They think their technology allows us to exist in any environment, with no sacrifices or compromises. Complete nonsense.

      That’s just what they tell the public. As they move to build out so much AI that you can’t afford computing components anymore, you will be forced to use their cloud services. Once they have you in the walled garden, they have full control over everything. Including your thoughts, by way of scanning the contents of your files via the AI agents they built.

      They want to become our gods by forcing their tech down our throats, and send never be able to unseat them without tech of our own.
