While I might not totally agree with the conclusion - men are becoming more and more subservient to machines. How many people now sit in an office and/or do most of their work - or even social interface - through a machine? This article actually has a lot of truth in it. However, if you feel tech is largely just upside and the arch of humanity tends "upward" - you are also involved in fanatical thinking.
Rare bad take! The pessimists are clearly the ones who doubt our ability to create AI powerful enough to destroy the world, not the ones afraid of our own success.
