It isn’t even a unique take, somehow there are many leftists still using “luddite” as an insult in the context of the “AI” “debate”. It’s an incredible self own, they’re literally arguing against their own point without realizing it.

I think it’s a form of cope to think that anything China does is automatically different of better. They explicitly have a market economy, meaning that the same things can happen there that happen in the west, in the same ways. Just because the socialist government is there to catch it when it goes wrong, doesn’t mean it can’t go wrong to begin with.
