The reality is much more likely that such a beast will take on a mind of its own and all of us, regardless of ideology, will end up suffering greatly under it.

- hunglee2 4y agono need for social credit - we have private platforms to do the controlling for us. Broadly, we seem to welcome this, wouldn't you agree?
