Sounds like a pretty well measured guy. I don't think it's fair to characterize what he's saying as that of pessimism vs. optimism, however. I think it's more that his optimistic outlook has been thwarted by capitalism's dehumanizing behavior repeatedly. It feels like there's still support for these technologies present, just caution in terms of application and centering human voices and values.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
