Certainly, but I interject that I do dislike how the modern perception of "Luddite" frames them as unthinking objectors to progress when really they were protesting their economic obsoletion. We should have CEOs who care about the consequences of what they're doing to the poorer classes. That's basic human decency, but we're saddled with what amounts to sociopaths and psychopaths instead.
There's technology and then there's the sociopaths, and unfortunately the two are becoming increasingly conflated.
Yes the oligarchs will use this technology against the masses. On the flipside, the masses can also use the technology against the oligarchs
