CIO even ends with talking up the Luddites — and how they smashed all those machines in rational self-defence.

I genuinely thought this wasn't true at first and went to check. Its completely true, a fucking business magazine's giving the Luddites their due:

Regardless of the fallout, fractional CMO Lars Nyman sees AI sabotage efforts as nothing new.

“This is luddite history revisited. In 1811, the Luddites smashed textile machines to keep their jobs. Today, it’s Slack sabotage and whispered prompt jailbreaking, etc. Human nature hasn’t changed, but the tools have,” Nyman says. “If your company tells people they’re your greatest asset and then replaces them with an LLM, well, don’t be shocked when they pull the plug or feed the model garbage data. If the AI transformation rollout comes with a whiff of callous ‘adapt or die’ arrogance from the C-suite, there will be rebellion.”

It may be in the context of warning capital not to anger labour too much, lest they inspire resistance, but its still wild to see.
