No, it’s possible to fully mitigate it. See https://dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/

There are aplenty of people who don’t believe technology has in any way benefitted humanity, some CS folks themselves even.

Hmm, interesting…

Automony? Surely this can’t be what I’m thinking about…

I lost control at this point. Laughing because of the desire to not believe it, anxiety knowing it has already come.

The cyberpunk dystopia.

I know I know, current world is mostly a dystopia by the standards of the old, but this is another level in cyberpunk. Tech companies operating as sovereign states, armed with mercenaries? I’d watch/play that film/game. Only issue is it’s real life.

> and offer additional benefits as tax shelter opportunities.

They’re openly saying it, no shame anymore.

What boggles my mind is that someone must have thought about all this AI regulatory capture etc. stuff a long, long time ago, for such a thing to exist by now.

Whoever is behind this is a true evil genius. I understand the benefits and all, but at this point I can no longer believe technology itself as a whole is beneficial to humankind.
