It is controlled by the Emerson Collective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson_Collective https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson_Collective That's why the article addresses the problem of AI using someone's credit card and not an issue that effects people like the unbanked.

Your argument from authority was based on referencing the magazine’s grand history. A product placement advertorial for a Silicon Valley startup shows how far it has fallen. And the nature of your defense is misplaced though understandable.
