I can nod along when I hear and read people talking about the dangers of these technologies and the endgame of their creators; and then suddenly very weird when everyone except me is nodding along that the answer must be similar (but different) technology!
It's as if technologists are stuck in a room of mirrors, unable to imagine a world in which "solutions" don't ultimately just continue to feed technology's increasingly anti-human takeover of everything.
To a man with a hammer...
Technologists don't drive decisions though. The shareholders do.
Edit: I mean technically shareholders don't decide any operational choices but their shallow interests are what everything is decided around.
