Down with all kings but King Lud!

But for real opposition not to technology existing but to the effects it will have on society, especially skilled workers, and to the nature of who will benefit from that trade is the closest stance to the Luddites. They were skilled laborers who had a problem with being replaced by machines and unskilled laborers all for massive profits.

The Luddites did indeed identify the problem of them bejng cheaply replaced, but then they fought against it in the worst of ways. Trying to ban the use or literally destroying things is pure stupidity.

For AI specifically, things like making sure LLM and other linear algerbra style "AI" creations cannot be copyrighted will do a whole lot more to ensure AI won't be completely exploited. The tools WILL be used. Make sure they cannot be used as a replacement for making money.
