So.. have we become used to the “computer software” bit or the “bringing us all down” bit?



Not Yanis Varoufakis. His point (not just his of course) is that our conventional software stacks have already mutated society and capitalism. Huge concern about entering into what he calls a technofeudal society in which we are serfs to for-profit platforms. We provide the platform both its content (our wishes and desires) and it then reaps the profits of our purchases and rentals.

So AI and then AGI—just the next mutation two predictable algorithmic and societal pandemic supermutations.

Welcome to the singularity.
