    Isn’t it amazing how people in communities dedicated to technologies hate technologies?

      We hate what technology has become, not technology itself. I mean, instead of having information farming in every aspect of our lives, I’d prefer advanced tools to be used at my discretion.

      More awareness perhaps? Also people generally respond more to negative things compared to negative things.

      Or people within the technology corner have seen the Over promise, underdeliver scheme play out too many times already

      You can be interested in a subject without loving everything (/anything) about it.

      More variety than AI hate here definitely sounds nice. But a broad term like “technology” is more likely to attract the big trending topics, that are most likely hated.

      Not sure why you got downvoted, assuming you were just pointing out how interesting it is that people in tech tend to be more critical of tech and aware of the issues it can have or cause
