An interesting, to me, aside: The luddites were not, as is commonly taught, anti-technology. They were protesting against the consolidation of money/power that technology was making possible. We don't want to teach class warfare though.
Huh. I guess I'm a Luddite.
Everyone with a shred of sanity they are still clinging to is, we're just too beaten down by the world around us and not galvanized by supportive communities of like-minded individuals with enough anger to take action, yet. It'll happen eventually. Especially if AI leads to the sort of job losses everyone's expecting.
People with lots of time on their hands and nothing to lose start to become real interesting people that do real interesting things.
