You need to get out of your SV big tech bubble and go attend your local planning board meeting, the vast majority of the public hates this technology. It's literally killing members in their community and ruining the ecology. The question we should ask is why a subset of humans are so gung-ho about this technology when all it's done is induced mass misery at even a greater scale. We all know the actual answer to this: they want more money even if the costs is more societal misery. Be careful tho, we already know people are willing to commit violence and if it's one thing you can count on in the USA is when economic conditions worsen more people become desperate. That desperation leads to pretty extreme reactions, and these reactions are typically adored by the public writ large too (see the public's Luigi reactions). Quite the powder keg and I don't think SV realizes the potential backlash that they are brewing themselves. | ||
