Governments are bad: long before now there should have been rules about applying 100%-automation to previously people-driven industries, public debate about the ramifications and proposed means to keep the resulting economy working for masses of people.
That's the purpose of economies and societies, after all, to enable the livelihood of the masses. Not to fulfill the fever dream of entitled asshats at the expense of billions of livelihoods.
So if governments are as bad, and woefully delayed, at acting to support the social transformations of these utopian dreams, its the responsibility to the industrial forces pursuing them to proactively drag governments into doing so. Any firm doing one without equally the other, I just cannot support or take seriously.
