And perhaps explains why they feel left out. They&amp;#x27;re attached to an ideal of what &amp;#x27;art&amp;#x27; (additionally, activism[1]) should be. An outdated, 20th century one.&lt;p&gt;I personally don&amp;#x27;t like Google. And I understand your framing is hypothetical.&lt;p&gt;But why is tech framed the opposite of art?&lt;p&gt;Why is tech equal to techbro?&lt;p&gt;Yea there are always bad apples. But I wonder what Da Vinci would think about holding art in the opposite category as tech?&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d argue they&amp;#x27;re more synonymous than opposite. To me, there&amp;#x27;s creativity. Both art and tech are creative. Applied creativity pertains to both code or a paint canvas.&lt;p&gt;Either way, the best, most valuable work to society is often never been done before.&lt;p&gt;Can anyone name an art piece (or if I&amp;#x27;m being generous, an art movement) in the last 15 years that&amp;#x27;s made the level of impact as Google? Or cryptocurrency?&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, to me, the &amp;#x27;artists&amp;#x27; need to up their game. Big time.&lt;p&gt;[1] Protest city hall if you feel gentrified. Especially in SF where it&amp;#x27;s largely illegal to build housing. Also, regarding gentrification, you don&amp;#x27;t hear the positive stories of immigrant families whose businesses flourish because of increased capital in an area, or those who feel safer, or even those who cashed out and sold their 50k house for 1.2 million. Again you hear a largely misdirected, dated and one-sided argument.</text><parent_chain><item><author>SideburnsOfDoom</author><text>&amp;gt; help diversify the tech ecosystem in Berlin and give them access to facilities and other resources.&lt;p&gt;Another way of looking at that, is &amp;quot;gentrify the vibrant neighbourhood by trucking in techbros to displace the artists&amp;quot;.

It’s been filled with IT companies ever since they went bankrupt and currently has an incubator as one of the renters. It’s never been full of artists for the last 20 years.&lt;p&gt;So while I’m not surprised (and very much not sad) that the plans didn’t work out for a host of reasons I really don’t think that the campus would have led to substantial gentrification in that region.&lt;p&gt;Disclosure: we (still) have our office in the complex.</text><parent_chain><item><author>SideburnsOfDoom</author><text>&amp;gt; help diversify the tech ecosystem in Berlin and give them access to facilities and other resources.&lt;p&gt;Another way of looking at that, is &amp;quot;gentrify the vibrant neighbourhood by trucking in techbros to displace the artists&amp;quot;.
