Mark Zuckerberg is the Apex Predator of planet Earth.

I would LOVE a monospaced version of this. If any type designers are out there, please make this happen.

Huh. Design is so subjective. I would not call this site "aesthetic".

New social networks are a huge opportunity. Decentralization is just an architectural consideration, not significant to users. A novel user experience is needed to disrupt the market leaders. Clones of existing interfaces with "decentralized" ideology are not appealing products to most humans.

This is a successful global branding strategy...NOT!

This is a non-serious piece. Not a single mention of mining/resource extraction or security. As long as people are fighting over rocks, we live in a capital-driven world. Key questions are who owns the minerals in the ground and the airwaves in the sky? "Humanism" has always been an ironic euphemism for imperialism, and I suppose it still is in "the world after capital."

Around the world, there are many "smart" people making autonomous weapons systems, "anti-fraud systems" that are really psychometric profiles, trading systems that front-run their customers, fraudulent advertising and fraudulent ad metrics, etc. It's pretty standard.

Believe whatever it takes to help you sleep at night. No one can persuade you otherwise.

Torturing people deemed to be terrorists is not intelligent, it's a war crime, and it's everybody's problem.

China is even more of a surveillance society than the US. America's top advertiser isn't happy. I am OK with America losing the race for total state control of information.

GMail still can't effectively distinguish between real communication and spam. If China overtakes the US in AI, Schmidt and co. are the folks to blame. They are in the drivers seat of intelligence development, yet their efforts are increasingly scattered, and their only consistent focus is on lobbying government.

Dear Alphabet,

Please make your products and services work before worrying about geopolitical balance of power.

Tether gets criticized for being fractional, but it's more stable than fancy collateralized derivative products. Cryptocurrency never ceases to amaze me.

I've had negative experiences with Meetup.com. I've attended multiple meetups around a technical subject with the hope of meeting peers who self-educate and work on side projects. Instead, I have been subjected to sales pitches for SaaS. I get it. Hosting a meetup is work, especially for introverted technical types. People only do work when they expect an ROI.

Maybe it's better in Silicon Valley.
