> Society outside of HN is quite tired of Tech, and I despair of figuring out a way to make this clear to the commentariat.

I don't think anyone in tech is really truly engaging with how quickly the shine has come off the tech industry. Except maybe Apple, who even so still have some work to do.

Technology and science is the intersection that is supposed to make our lives better, easier, more prosperous. The last decade or two what marvelous technology has came from silicon valley that hasn't served primarily the billionaire class and made life worse for the common people.

The yoke of silicon valley is feeling heavy. People might just throw it off.
