That’s a good question, I do tend to think that there are certain implementations of tech that are definitely not good, nuclear power is neutral, nuclear bombs are not. Social media has actually helped marginalized people find community (as an example), specific implementations, following “make the stonks go eternally up” rules tend not to be.
Definitely something that could use a much deeper exploration.
Condescending and stupid. “The left should be upset at how technology is used, rather than anti tech itself”. Because the left are definitely all the second, being rather famously a monolith in their opinions. Hey, speaking of technology, here’s an artificial human we created out of straw! 
I wonder what the point of these is, because it’s definitely not to invite any kind of reasoned discussion.

That and the fact that tech companies are building ever-larger data centers that require gigawatts of power to operate as they build crappy AI systems. Right now in the US something like 5% of all power usage is going to data centers, and it’s growing fast. Microsoft is restarting the infamous plant on Three Mile Island to send 800 megawatts to its data centers. That’s more than the power output of Hoover Dam.
So in that instance, at least, technology is definitely hurting the progress of switching to green energy because they’re requiring much more energy to be generated than what we’d otherwise need.
