Yep. Same for the other direction: there is a very strong correlation between identity politics and praising AI on Twitter.

Then there's us who are mildly disappointed on the agents and how they don't live their promise, and the tech CEOs destroying the economy and our savings. Still using the agents for things that work better, but being burned out for spending days of our time fixing the issues the they created to our code.

IMO this is a Rorschach test for the politically obsessed because I can't stand politics and have no clue what you are talking about.

You have just trained your brain to be so obsessed with politics you can't but help to see it everywhere.

The adoption and use of technology frequently (even typically) has a political axis, it's kind of just this weird world of consumer tech/personal computers that's nominally "apolitical" because it's instead aligned to the axis of taste/self-identity so it'll generate more economic activity.

AI hating is part of the omnicause because it overlaps with art ho socialism, degrowth environmentalism, and general tech skepticism/ludditism.
