I dunno if it's worth expanding on but one thing I think is worth keeping in mind is that a lot of the people in tech who abide or even like NFTs/AI/etc. aren't true believers or scammers, they're complacent and unempowered. Feasibility or ethics don't really matter to them because they're not engaged enough to care.
Even when you make it into a popular tech company or startup it's still extremely difficult to affect change—most places are still running top-down product direction (they try to say otherwise to appear better) and using things like anonymous all hands Q/A or company surveys to defang criticism, and most people fall back to self interest and stability in the face of such powerlessness. AI is inevitable because tech is, in their direct experience, not something that can be changed or stopped.
This is not to excuse them; rather, I think blueprints for action against the spread of tech that threatens us need to include parts that look less like dismantling ideology or rhetorical clashes and more like local empowerment of labor. A workforce that can actually wield it's power will be a much better audience and ally.
Obviously it's not a dichotomy, but IMO sharing union news and talking about it with your friends will have a higher ROI than resharing an essay on why AI is exploitative or can never work.
