You can't trust the AI hype

"The incentive of the tech industry, then, is to convince people that all significant problems are engineering problems, narrowly defined as those categories of engineering at which the tech industry does best."

If it cannot be "solved" using a computer, then it isn't worth pursuing. Who thinks like that. People who are addicted to computers, not people who can solve real world problems. They can only solve the problems they encounter with the computer. Naturally they will believe all problems involve a computer. The real world is something they do not understand, except through the lense of a computer.

"At its worst, such ideological hype causes a systematic over-investment in new technologies that do not actually yield much overall progress or development across society."

Enormous mis-allocation of capital. The so-called "tech" company shenangigans have given the word "technology" a bad name.
