Unfortunately I think that ship has sailed. And since we live in the era of the real golden rule (i.e "he who has the gold makes the rules), there's no chance that we'll ever get the chance to catch the ship. Mark lives in h

As I've said in other comments - expecting honesty and ethical behavior from Mark Zuckerberg is a fool's errand at best. He has unchecked power and cannot be voted out by shareholders. He will say whatever he wants and because th

If AI solves loneliness, we will become what Ready Player One explicitly told us to not become. It wasn't a homage to 70s/80s/90s/00s nerd culture. It was a loud, explicit warning. Yet here we are.

Also a great measure is the money supply & velocity chart - the M2. If GDP goes up and the velocity of money drops, it means that real economic gains are not being realized by those who actually spend the majority of their income versu

Hardly a strange take IMO. We've (the west) effectively encouraged this sort of behavior. OUTSOURCE IT ALL TO CHINA! Our corporations and shareholders have most certainly reaped the benefits from this. Our politicians have made a l

We've done similar things when it comes to military and military-adjacent technology. If a government believes in the potential and promise of a given technology and wants to dominate in that sector, it should be allowed to. That&#x2

That's the geopolitical advantage of being the world's manufacturing hub. Foresight is required when dealing with such entities, not hindsight. If my electric car comes in at 1/4th the price of an American built one, so be it
