Tech is ravenously trying to convince the world they need AI for every aspect of their business. Tech wants you to think LLMs are infallible and they strongly imply that they are even if the fine print says otherwise. So personally I would say tech is very much part of the problem. One could say they are the root of the problem in fact.

I think he’s referring to literal technology itself as “Tech” and you’re referring to the people trying to sell it as “Tech”—aka “Big-Tech” as some would say

Yup, sounds like a classic miscommunication. I think we should all compromise and just agree capitalism is the problem lol.

I think you're bang on with that. My bad.

I don't think the tech is the problem, it's the business drones trying to sell you it

The tech is not the problem.
