> The obvious conservative response to a technology whose downsides are unfathomable is suppression, not encouragement. “Move fast and break things” might be an ethos conservatism can accept when the object being broken is the B2B SaaS status quo. But it cannot do so when the objects in question are human intelligence, sociability, agency, and existence.

Hold on.

I accept all the rethorical apocalyptic stuff, it comes with the title and each of us can have an opinion.

But “move fast and break things” is Facebook motto, and when it come to sociability, society at large, and politics, I you cannot say that.

Facebook/Meta merely breaking B2B SaaS?

It’s not really about “Meta is bad”. It’s recognising the fact that social media, spearheaded by Facebook has changed society and politics.

Some like it some don’t. I don’t want to enter a culture war, but can we agree that with Meta the “object in question” is not just a SaaS? It is sociability, it is society, it is politics?

How can you advocate for future policies over AI while at the same time misleading on the tech revolution that has shaped the past, what, 20 years?

What is being taught in those classrooms?
