Apparently I got added to a list on here called "Techno-pessimists", which is objectively funny, because I don't hate technology, I love it, what I hate is capitalism, the bourgeoisie and all the garbage they push, and the horrible consumerism culture that produces gigatonnes of waste.

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!
