  • I’m not making any assumptions, I’m going by what I see as the predominant narrative regarding any new technology in the west. All I see is people moaning how AI or robots will end us all. Whether they’re referring to us collectively or just to the west is irrelevant.

    My point is that people living under the dictatorship of capital have a negative view of technology because technological progress isn’t used in public interest. It’s used by the oligarchs for oppression and surveillance, and hence people fear that any new technology will be used to repress them further.

    We can contrast this with the mood I’m China where most people are optimistic regarding technological progress because they see technology improving their lives with things like high speed trains, amazing public infrastructure, factory automation, and so on.
