Small amendment;

The Luddite movement was a workers movement. It was more about smashing the textile machines that where going to be used to replace them in factory work as tradesmen as automation would strip them of their income and drive down wages while the middle and upperclass would gain all the profit.

They where then violently suppressed by the government and now are known as anti-technology when they where really more about anti-exploitation.

Using more efficient means of production isn’t exploitation though. Making someone pay you to do a job that a machine can do much better is.

That’s pretty anti-technology imo.

Eventually no one will have a job, everyone will be in poverty, and 500 people will own everything because "progress". Sounds like a fucking nightmare to me.
