For the record, the Luddites weren't actually wrong. They didn't want to lose skilled jobs producing high quality goods to machines producing inferior ones. They lost, but I don't know that they were entirely wrong.

Sometimes I think tech workers just sit around planning our future dystopias. I was reading an article today about a renter complaining how their washing machines went from coin to app based, and the apps collect data. I never thought I would read "I don't a washing machine collecting my data" in a news article.

"Authoritarian Intelligence" is smart framing. I intend to use it. And, I never trusted Bill Gates.
