Part of modern discourse and the appointment's with technology is saying "Remember when tech was fun? when it was about quirky and entertaining gadgets like the Ipod and sites like myspace?"

So... why did tech got ambivalent and dystopian?

My take is that it's because in the 90's and 2000's digital technology as stil focused on middle class and upper-mid consumers. It was about making an actual product: a camera, a music player, a virtual space on the internet. a real thing with value that people would use, eve if it was just to entertain themselves.

That started to change in the 2010's, with the data markets and algorithms. That's when it all became detached from a personal consumer and it became about catering to companies: data collection tools, automation of the workforce. All these are things we as people have no use for but corpos and companies do. The newest tech like LLMS, video generators, biometric scans are all not made for us, they are only sold to us as a sort of collateral to get some extra cash.

There's still tech in that vein of the 2000s, Im not saying it's gone, but there's less of it.

Sinners(2025), by Ryan Coogler, proves that the ACTUAL reason Hollywood corps prefer ~IP~ films isn't because they're "Safer" or "More Profitable" or even "What the People Want", like pretty much everyone has been saying for the last decade; it's because they can *OWN* the underlying Idea, so all the artists involved are just "hired help" they can boss around as they please.

The dominance of ~IP~ films in Hollywood over the last 25 years, like so much of what's gone wrong with the US economy over the same period, ultimately boils down to Corporate Execs 1) caring more about Hierarchy and Power than profits, and 2)not wanting to pay artists for their art.
