> We can't really stop technology so we better join the ride I see more and more people saying stuff like that on HN and I feel like we've collectively gave up on the idea of regulations &c. It's our collective job to decide what's good or not and what we want or not. Saying "eh it's technology we _have_ to go with it" seems really dumb and a fairly new thing. Thinking like that means weaponised autonomous robots is just the logical next step of "progress" for example. Or mass surveillance is inevitable and being so would even make it desirable by that logic
