While I agree with the general premise underlying some of the dystopic overtones, I don't fully believe that just a handful of mortals will be able to point their optimized machines comprised of private software at a novel problem and chug away - the amount of humans that need to be in the loop for any of these large companies to function is staggering, especially when you consider 2nd, 3rd, and nth order effects...

However, I do believe that in general the giant and well-oiled tech behemoths will continue to contribute towards global inequality for a while longer before they are stopped.

I get a lot of hubris emanating from this text. Theories are presented as facts.

The root of all evil is when some people think they have a solution to fix humanity and proceed to put it in practice. It never ends well.

Don't try to change the world, act on yourself, there's a lot to be done there!

Let me just say that the fight to rewrite history has already begun. Doesn't everyone remember world wide web day as August 6...not August 1?

> One day, The Guardian will report on what furries think about an election, isn't that a future we can all get behind?

Sorry hwhat
