This is a process known as proletarianization. It happened to the artisans when we moved to industrial manufacture, it happened to the pastoralists when we moved to factory farming, and now they can finally go after artists and techs and editors.

Shut up with your history man I don't want to learn and want to repeat until the earth boils, what's so wrong with that?

No but really, if these tools were actually to be used in such an egregious manor of which their creators envision, their little short term stock bump means actual energy and water scarcity for a lot of us. Yay. Could be any other proletarianization, but we get the one that could really fuck us over
