"The FT’s Gillian Tett reported that a senior financier’s New York firm now seeks out humanities students, because “AI-native” Stem graduates are entering the job market with “alarmingly shallow ideas”."*

I don't advocate for the dichotomy of stem and humanities. A good counterecample from the 20th century being Ernst Mach (Mach-speeds are named after him) and his work in phenomenology ("bodies do not produce sensations, sensations produce bodies")

Your incatation of contextless 'technological progress' still kinda calls for a quote like the above
