> If you love coding and you hate AI, you're probably more committed to some sort of ideology than you are the love of technology.

As someone that you may characterize as one of these people, I can share some perspective.

First, I would question the premise that “love of technology” is not itself an ideology.

I do love technology, but not for its own sake. I love solving problems, I love tinkering, and I love craftsmanship and invention.

But technology can also be dangerous, it can set us backwards and not forwards, and its progress is never as inevitable as its evangelists claim. You need to view technology with a critical eye, and remember that tools are tools, and not panaceas.

So I guess I’d ask you — what’s so wrong with choosing to live in a cabin in the woods without a cellphone?
