The world doesn’t allow us to disconnect tech and capitalism. Why should we be happy about the tech just for the techs sake? People aren’t adverse to the tech. They are against its use to further our exploitation.
Technological advances are supposed to improve peoples lives. Allow them to work less and enjoy things more often.
It’s why we invented a wheel. It’s why we invented better weapons to hunt with.
“Tech for techs sake” is enjoying the technology and ignoring its impact on people’s lives.
When a society creates a massive sum of information accessible to all, trains new technology on data created by that society, and then a small subset of that society steals and uses that data to profit themselves and themselves alone; I don’t know what else you call that but exploitation.
Advances in AI should make our lives better. Not worse. Because of our economic model we have decided that technological advances no longer benefit everyone, but hurt a majority of the population for the profits of a few.
Yes. That’s my point. But people that hate AI hate it because of how it is being used under capitalism. For a lot of people “it is easier image the end of the world than the end of capitalism”. Hence why they hate AI. They don’t hate it inherently.

It’s not tech for techs sake, and it’s not exploitation.

The AI is not the problem in this case. The economic model is. It is not an economic model suitable for the advancement of technology.
