Feels reminiscent of the whole "solarpunk" movement that was started purely out of spite for dystopia. Lots of optimistic smiles and "look at my graph" conjecture, not much real-world impact or corporate subversion.
Technologies like nuclear power, fly-by-wire aviation and AI do not exist in hermetic terrariums of optimism. I don't agree with the AI doomers either, but at the very least I am willing to play by the hypothetical idea that AI proliferation could be dangerous. After all, many things we take for granted today (eg. nuclear power, fly-by-wire aviation, AI) are dual-use technologies also employed to kill ordinary civilians.
