I'm not sure why you're bring Luddites into this. Ludd and his followers were opposing the industrialization of their professions because it meant they were losing their jobs to machines while the factory owners were continuing to build on the wealth they helped create. Technological progress is still usually spoken about in abstract and misleading terms of "increasing productivity" as if it were about reducing the workload of the worker when instead the worker's hours remain the same and a reduced workload just translates into "redundancies", i.e. the workers don't gain anything from being "more productive", they actually stand to lose their jobs entirely because fewer workers are necessary for the same output.
