> It’s been incredibly demoralizing to discover what the tech industry actually did was to invent surveillance capitalism, create exploitative “gig economy” business models,create a new generation of robber barons, enable the rise of global fascism, facilitate genoicde,

Is the world actually good?

I struggle with this idea that if you actually create some sort of game changing tech, the business incentives will eventually use it to cause net negative harm for society. At best this takes the form of just resource extraction of customers. At worst it will be twisted by societies current power centers to further each of their collective tragectories (not net positive)?

Why create things for a society that will abuse them.
