I think the article is wrong.
Fears of Technology are really fear of technology misuse. Sure current system is capitalism, but you could construct a similar argument for any other system.
E.g. in contemporary authoritarian communism with same tech level, you could get automated societal purges.
- bayindirh 6y agoYou might be right. The essense is technology misuse. That's for sure. However, I'm wondering whether some systems come with authoritarianism bundled, so the use of technology in that way is somewhat expected. I'm not so sure about it though, since I'm not that knowledgeable about politics & systems in that breadth. At the end of the day, my comment was only to counter my parent comment, which is now edited and clarified.
