Every day I hate AI and big tech more and more. Just when I think I couldn’t hate them anymore, they find a way.

AI and big tech are just the ultimate expression of human greed. What you hate is human nature.
> What you hate is human nature.

Such a defeatist take. Human nature is to come up with culture to check human nature. Human nature is to feel community expulsion as badly as physical pain, because human nature is to punish anti-social behavior. We are equally capable of love, empathy, anger and violence. What isn't human nature, is watching everything taken from you, while you tell yourself that's just the way things are. That's pathology.

No. I refuse to just sit back and accept being abused by the elite just because "well, that's just the way it is", "that's human nature". Holy war is also human nature. Revolution is human nature.
