I don’t quite understand the hate towards industrialization. Perhaps modern Americans just don’t understand what economic wonders their country has experienced because America conquered hunger and became wealthy way before the rest of the world?

american exceptionalism? in my privacyguides forums?

if the US’ condition is one where it has “conquered hunger”, I hate to see what places where hunger hasn’t been conquered look like

sure, all of us should be grateful for what we have (given we’re all “fortunate” enough to be posting on this forum) but that doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to call out inequity that still exists – and it’s sheer willful ignorance to pretend that AI (and the economic system in which it exists) doesn’t bring with it a whole lot of things that people would be upset at, starting with the obvious effects on pricing of technology, but also bringing it closer to this forum’s main topic, the massive privacy violations that AI and so-called “surveillance capitalism” beget.
