I hate the term "thought leader" but he is an known intellectual in the sphere of internet culture, intellectual property, and freedom of information. Now, what are his credentials to the matter at hand... not sure, but yeah, he is kindof a big deal.
- boringg 3y agoI like the enshitiffication terminology so kudos to that. Thanks for letting me know who he is. That said I'm not a fan of knowledgable(is he knowledgable or is he a persona?) people in one domain stepping into the another domain and taking/using their previously earned clout as a way to push their agenda. I haven't seen great transition to the energy space from tech. It's especially worse as they get into the weeds. I do appreciate outsiders coming in to point out structural / regulatory or bring in new energy. With that in mind my opinion isn't changed because his original piece didn't have much merit with me.
