I’ve been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I’m just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.

I have only read the first two paragraphs, but the second paragraph introduces the conversation with
the conversation we ought to be having is about power … and how do we the people take that power back?
After watching this keynote at the 2022 global AI summit about three times, I feel that while we need to talk about power - in a way that is aware of its propensity for terror - “getting it” is not the conversation we should be having, despite numerous actors having already amassed it.
I apologise if I’ve jumped the gun in assuming what the article talks about. Do let me know if I’ve mis-assumed.

Love it, please keep writing.
