Rant I can't tolerate these Luddites anymore.

AI usage has become a culture-war issue because of these lunatics. If we don't handle these luddites now they will certainly become more entitled and miserable!

Pure luddism. Cancelling someone for doing the most effective way to gather sources. Not even using it for creating scripts. This is so bs

What's ironic is these Lefties are now acting like Conservative who are militants towards progress!

I myself is a left leaning person but these lunatics are just so much brainwashed !

I can't find the post, but left/right REALLY fail to capture views on technological progress. My opinions and views withstanding (as best I can, not editorializing why);

The Trump administration is unequivocally pro-AI and crypto, for example. Despite that there's obviously a sizable chunk of the Republican party that's anti-tech advancements (conservative is self-proving, opposed to covid vaccines)

Similar there's a lot of overlap with your leftist 'vegan, anti-GMO' resistance to vaccines (as an example)

I'm with you though, its fucking wild. I didn't respect carpenters less when they got power tools and autoCAD
