>actually think this kind of low-information escapism about the future

I think this is called techno-utopianism. The "leaders" in technology have been doing this ever since the industrial revolution.

People sold the idea that street lights would fix "public morals" and eliminate crime.

Also see the progress trap and professor Simon Penny's work and what he calls the end of the anthropocene.
