This was cathartic to read, even though it’s short. Big tech has become evil. It’s mostly banal, of course (“You want to sell the fact that I like football and puppies to ad companies? Sure, who cares?”), but it’s still a net negative for society. And it’s not tech’s fault per se, but rather the unfettered and uninhibited pursuit of ever more capital. Tech can be a tool for good, but when driven by the profit machine, the incentives make it a tool for evil.

We have to face it: we’re not helping the world.
