@aral you're confusing technology with monopoly and capitalism.

You can have sustainable/social/community owned technology that doesn't harm you more than non-technological alternatives would do.

Technology is a tool, at this point we should also not use printers because they allow to print nazi manifests...

The main issue is corrupt or incompetent politicians. Often both.

(And yes, we can definitely have better technology – https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/ – my point is that it should not be mandatory for participation in modern life.)

@aral well then stop using literally anything around you.

What we don't want is Microsoft deciding that from now on AI should be pushed down your throat because it makes us more productive and all that crap.

Technology is everywhere, AI is slowly being used in more domains. It's inevitable.

We MUST regulate how it's used it, without doing witch hunting.

EDIT: did you ever hear about progress that got stopped? I can't think of anything like that. If it works, why not.
