    I find it ironic that every top comment author seems to feel the urge to point out why it’s actually different, but never question the point. I’m also sick of people telling me there’s no turning back, like, yeah, you do you, bro. My life is great without social networks, which are not going anywhere I guess.

    And it’s important to remember, when everyone thought slavery was all good because it’s free labor, it cost government a lot of money to remove it because they had to pay the slave owners compensation. That’s disregarding the human rights and plethora of problems.

    For “I’m fiscally right” people, your money will go towards all these extravaganza when it inevitably doesn’t bring back the money expended on it.

    Now people watch their phone while eating and the public discourse is filled with their algorithm infused opinions.

    Globalisation took care of the rest. Children still work, slaves still exist, but not visible to us.

    Compering technologies with ways of living, aren’t we?

    Yes AI is crap now.

    Yes it is driven by oligarchs who want all the pie for themselves.

    Yes it is a bubble.

    Yes it is over-hyped and presented as the holy grail.

    Yes it fucks our planet.

    But it is a new technology that its gonna get integrated in our lives.

    …

    Well until we make an AGI and it fucks us all.
