What I’m saying is tech displays a tremendous amount of hubris in its ability to wrap complex systems in clean tech protocols, ask/pressure/demand users to switch to the tech version of the complex system, and then deny or ignore their innovation doesn’t, at a minimum, come with a rash of negative side effects caused specifically by the inexact or deliberately mangled version in the technical protocol.

Ie:

- social relations -> social networks

- customer service -> chatbots and Jira

- media -> AI news, if the silly IP battles get out of the way.

- residential housing and vacations -> home swap markets

- jobs -> gig jobs, minus the benefits, plus an algorithm for a boss

I’m not sure how many other industries tech has to wade into, disrupt, creative intense negative externalities if you don’t have equity in the companies, leave, and repeat, prior to industries getting protective finally - like this lawsuit
