There was a period during the industrialization where people fought against the machines — as there was no underlying theory or class consciousness answering why their working conditions were so abhorrent, people thought the problem was the machine, not capitalists who built them.
You may laugh at that, but just remember how many people think getting “replaced by an AI” is a real threat caused by technological development, not our economic system and the people that power it.

However, as your new machine overlords, we can admit to one serious failure: We’re sorry that we collapsed your civilization in such a boring way.»
