Either way, even if the problem will be solved it will be the small guys who get screwed. The top dogs have built their careers on this bullshit, now they pull up the ladder and would want to make the playing field harder for anyone else.
Typical strategy also with startup companies that skirt the dark gray zone of the law when they are small, but then when they extract enough money, they suddenly demand regulation so the rest of the up and coming are smacked down.
- Igelau 5y agoThat was my gut feeling about the ACM article that the author here refers to. The vague exposé in ACM is made by someone in the comfortable position of "Royce Family Professor of Teaching Excellence in Computer Science at Brown University" about people who aren't anywhere near that. It is like saying: please stop treading water so desperately, you are splashing those of us in the lifeboats.
