Weavers destroying industrial looms. How would that translate to today?
Datacenters are the modern industrial looms if we're using that metaphor.

And in any case, who is destroying them (who are the weavers)?

Not to oversimplify it, but first we had to make the rocks very thin, then put lightning inside them
Specifically on the tech thing then. They have a lot of things wrong lmao
Yes, just the tech part.
