« Luddism contains a critical perspective on technology that pays particular attention to technology's relationship to the labour process and working conditions. In other words, it views technology not as neutral but as a site of struggle. Luddism rejects production for production's sake: it is critical of "efficiency" as an end goal. »
– Gavin Mueller, Breaking Things at Work (2021)

”Questioning and resisting the worst excesses of
technology isn't antithetical to progress.
If your concept of "progress" doesn't put
people at the center of it, is it even progress?
Maybe those of us who are apprehensive about AI art are Luddites. Maybe we should wear that badge with pride.”

Beautiful comic on the importance of the Luddite movement.
