A thing that fucks w/ me is that new disruptive tech is increasingly positioned as "a thing that gets its value from the fact that it will be in your life whether you want it or not."
WeWork, NFTs, AI art, ads, surveillance, scalping. The sponsors of this technology are overtly cruel. They're not saying "you get to be a part of the future," they're saying "the future (that's us) is going to chop you up and eat you."
They're also mostly wrong. All the actual power (and hence the power to extract revenue) is held in the coercive social systems that already existed, like policing, which invisibly backs the value of every form of property.
