Technology's harms are real, but people are resilient and adaptable and find ways to make tech useful to them, and its good side tends to be quiet and recognized only in hindsight.

Applied to AI, it calls Anthropic's warnings about the danger of its models a PR push for control, and says the company acts as recklessly as OpenAI.
