unfortunately i think online social club leftists are doing a disservice to real left critiques of AI as it currently exists, to wit: the gigantic SaaS LLMs that enable this wave are not something that can be publicly owned or responsibly sustained, and we should work towards cheaper hosted models

it's bad to downplay either, though i think leftists are worse about denying the social reactionary parts of worker revolts than liberals are about denying the class relations (which i think is not the impression i gave OP)

you might have thought that, with the term "workers", i was one of those people who cram history into 20c socialism tropes, but i'm not and i wasn't. "Luddism" colloquially means "anti-technology-in-itself" and regardless of the decency of their motivations, ludd and the luddites weren't
