What we need is techno-realism. Technology in an oppressive economic/political system will be used to achieve oppressive goals. So it's the system that needs to be looked at, not just tech in isolation. And we should really be moving to an approach where we don't adopt new tech unless it's proven safe (not perfectly safe, but tolerably safe). And similarly, externalities need to be understood before mass adoption is enabled (e.g., massive power usage by shitcoins and LLMs).
