If this tech is going to be half as impactful as its proponents predict, then I'd say it's still under-politicized. Of course the politics around it doesn't have to be knee-jerk mudslinging, but it's no surprise that politics enters the picture when the tech can significantly transform society.
Go politicize it on Reddit, preferably on a political sub and not a tech sub. On this forum, I would like to expect a lot more intelligent conversation.
