What's not to love about a flawed and unreliable technology that aims to kill jobs?

You forgot - it also aims to consume lots of power and water and hardware to keep it from others. Privatize the profits, socialize the costs.

and people! (autonomous drones)

… while concentrating immensely more wealth and power in the hands of a few weird and depraved people.

Same thing can be said about other versions of early tech; internet services were horribly unreliable and out to kill travel agent and others jobs

Oh right I am sorry... forgot this is HN... you meant to express concern about your job replacing

My bad

You mean that technology that resulted in a massive bubble, wasn't marketed as replacing all labor and giving the rich personal slaves? You mean the technology that enables human communication and creativity instead of promoting human isolation and stealing human creativity?

SaaS was a massive bubble fueled by ZIRP, avarice of politicians, killed jobs, and stuck people in front of screens instead of socializing.

iPhone apps have people staring at their screens.

The endless production of gpus, laptop, phone, racks of Rpis have contributed to climate change which may very well doom the species

But yeah go off about those things only becoming an issue once they impacted you

How very "fuck gay people... what? oh my niece is gay? Gay people are fine!" of you.
