If there's one thing I've learned from technology, it's that people put way too much faith in technology

People want to believe that the tech is good enough to build this advertising simulacrum the guy in the video refers to. It's all a fantasy

People want to believe that govt and big tech are this omniscient, monolithic entity. If that was actually the case then how do they not catch whistleblowers who leave trails of evidence months before leaking?

Anyone who talks about tech like it's some kind of deity clearly shouldn't be talking about it, or at least only for the sake of marketing
