“Cloak of Feathers” by The Sword https://youtu.be/AlCJ1BsfMWc

“of owl and of raven, of peacock and dove, of swan and of sparrow, woven with her love. face hidden in shadow, beneath a hood of quills, the pinions of her raiment conceal all her ills.”

this isn’t new, “making smaller marks on a rock” has been mankind’s method for expanding data storage for thousands of years

exactly, the real Luddites weren’t opposed to technology, they were opposed to wealthy factory owners using technology in a way that eliminated or cheapened their labor to extract more profit. what Sanders and most others are citing as threats posed by “ai” are actually perfectly in line with the Luddites, but they’re not allowed to say so because the actual history of the Luddites has been smeared and propagandized to make them look like unreasonable morons who are scared of things they can’t comprehend

yeah we just call them “rich assholes”
