I'm running out of humor, or even sarcasm, to provide in the face of this death cult level of "just go along with what's making the problem worse until the problem is solved" ideology that, once again, is pushed by so-called "leftists" on this fucking site as recently as a few hours ago by last appearance.
In the 1800s, fairweather treatbrains like themselves would say just go along with cheap cotton from the cotton gin because that'll eventually solve slavery (which is what Eli Whitney believed before he was super surprised that it only expanded the institution of slavery).
At least Whitney was actually trying to do something good. "If I invent a thing that ends slavery and does so without bloodshed" is a decent enough reason to invent a thing.
The techbro death cult is more like "If we create more slaves, the price of slaves will drop to zero due to supply vs. demand. Then we'll all own too many slaves, so we'll be forced to sell them off."
"That...that doesn't actually end slavery tho?"
"Just trust me bro we gotta make slave cloning machines bro it's the inevitable future."
Yeah, I won't deny that the cotton gin was a technical improvement.
My point is that the belief that a technical improvement will by itself undo the consequent damage that it causes without societal change is just techbro shit.
