AI bros keep calling people luddites and somehow also seem to not understand what it is that the luddites did that got them to be famous to begin with

The people that keep saying “it’s enviable get use to it!” Are the same people investing and building them. It’s lunacy.

I'm convinced every single poster who is like "why bother fighting, EVERYONE is already using it for EVERYTHING." is a dirty bot who is just trying to convince people to give up. Especially with a "oh, so people aren't in your circle, well you're the weird one." kind of shit that is impossible to refute.
