Every new technology is a mirror and we blame it for what we continue to be.

  This is a perfect summing up. I do wonder though, how much of this is to do with something unique to the American psyche - the US seems to have one mass-delusional panic after another - satan worshipers, clowns, antifa, AI. I say this as a brit, where we only have two mass-delusional panics on rotation - immigrants and house prices. Three if you count immigration's effect on house prices.

    Four if you count the trans panic.

      As far as I've been able to tell that's not actually a real thing though. Just some MPs and newspapers trying to make it into one.
