Unpopular opinion: the best predictor of whether a technology empowers or enslaves is not the technology itself.
It's whether consequences flow back to the person making decisions.
Fiat: printers don't suffer inflation
Social media: platforms don't suffer from engagement bait
AI: builders don't suffer from misaligned outputs
Bitcoin: holders suffer their own decisions
Nostr: posters own their reputation
Open source AI: users can audit
Follow the consequence flow.
