For now. Are we supposed to just halt all technological progress because capitalism is inevitably going to misuse it? Should we stop trying to develop new medical treatments and drugs because capitalism is going to prevent all but the wealthiest from accessing them in our lifetime?
Regardless, my point was that the tech itself isn’t inherently reactionary. Not that it won’t be misused under capitalism.
A hundred years ago I’d agree with you that technological progress is more important. Now, I don’t know. We need to be triaging the climate crisis instead of wasting time making shit exponentially worse. I half jokingly believe that western knowledge workers should go full luddite and smash data centers and backups. Joking because western knowledge workers would never do that in a million years.
Medical technology doesnt carry the same negatives. I don’t agree with Other Person that it’s inherently reactionary, but the theoretical value of its benevolent application doesn’t mean much when, for all intents and purposes, it serves reactionary goals right now, in the material world
Again, an issue with capitalism and not the technology itself.
Well I agree with you there. Too bad there’s all this capitalism.

One of the use-cases of this technology is assisting in drug discovery and medical research, which is why I gave it as an example.
