Technical advancement is not for human wellbeing. It never has been even if it was rationalized that way. For technnology to take hold you need a lot of capital investment. That puts control firmly in the hands of a few who, for their own reasons, want to invest in it. They are not thinking about humanity.

That's true, but eventually, technology like AI won't need capitalism to keep developing, especially after the singularity.

Then we totally lose control as one or multiple AIs go marching down whatever inscrutable paths they go down. This is a big worry for humanity. We are not a nice species. We do a lot of harm. AIs may not care for us that much.
