Indeed. How much more evidence do we need that in the end, technology always is at the service of the power structure; the structure stutters briefly at the onset of innovation until it manages to adapt and harness technology to reinforce the positions of the powerful. Progress happens in that brief period before the enshittification takes root. The FAANGS exist now solely to devour innovators and either stamp them out or assimilate them, digesting them into their gluttonous, gelatinous ooze.
OpenAI's only plan is to grow fast enough to be a new type of slime.

Personally, I'd deny there's ever any progress against the power structure due to technology itself. Anything that seems like "progress" is ephemeral or illusionary.
And that truth needs to be constantly compared to the incessant false promises of a utopia just around the corner that tech's hype-men make.
