Would Luddites find the gig economy familiar? | Ars Technica https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/would-luddites-find-the-gig-economy-familiar/

Their pitiable reputation is the result of a deliberate smear campaign by elites in their own time who (successfully, as it turned out) tried to discredit their coherent and justified movement. In his book Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech, Merchant memorializes the Luddites not as the hapless dolts with their heads in the sand that they’ve become synonymous with, but rather as the first labor organizers. Longing for the halcyon days of yore when we were more in touch with nature isn’t Luddism, Merchant writes; that’s pastoralism—totally different thing.

Would Luddites find the gig economy familiar?

Luddites were hardly the anti-tech dullards historians have painted them to be.

AMAZON IS BEING FLOODED WITH BOOKS ENTIRELY WRITTEN BY AI

And it's the same story with music produced by AI on Spotify/deezer, AI generated photos flooding stock images libraries... Etc.. 😢
The end of the world is nigh my friends.
