Sure, it’s complicated.

I worry that humanity has a track record of diving head first into new technologies without worrying about externalities like the environment or job displacement.

I wish we were more thoughtful and focused more on minimizing the downsides of new technologies.

Instead it seems we’re headed full steam towards huge amounts of energy use and job displacement. And the main bonus is rich people get richer.

I’m not sure if having software be cheaper is beneficial. Is it good for malware to be easier to produce? I’d personally choose higher quality software over more software.

I’m not convinced cheaper mass produced clothing has been a net positive. Will AI be a positive? Time will tell. In the short term there are some obvious negatives.
