The Lyrics
I’m in the mood for Ludd;
digital tech unnerves me.
Some say it’s wreckage-worthy.
I’m in the groove of “Blood.”*
Heaven is not AI…
society asunder.
Awaits a major blunder
from geeks, heads in the mud.
The pitch: It makes things better
in the progress parade.
But we’re so in its fetters—
when it blows up, clear’s the charade.
Nip the worst in the bud,
or we’re gonna regret it.
Rather than just abet it…
might heed the moves of Ludds.
digital tech unnerves me.
Some say it’s wreckage-worthy.
I’m in the groove of “Blood.”*
Heaven is not AI…
society asunder.
Awaits a major blunder
from geeks, heads in the mud.
The pitch: It makes things better
in the progress parade.
But we’re so in its fetters—
when it blows up, clear’s the charade.
Nip the worst in the bud,
or we’re gonna regret it.
Rather than just abet it…
might heed the moves of Ludds.
*”Blood in the Machine,” Brian Merchant, 2023. The author’s contention that rather than being the mindless smashing of automated weaving machinery by vandals, Luddism was a rebellion against unfair working condition in the mills of England brought on by the machinery and mill owner’s greed and indifference. “A rich and gripping account of a chronically misunderstood historical chapter, one with urgent relevance to our own time, as we once again pit humans against machines.”—New York Times
