i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

i feel like a lot of naive socialists and yimbys should listen to this song, study it's meaning, and realize brutalist housing blocks won't solve anything unless capitalism is completely destroyed. this song is like 50 years old btw
