But I never thought anything like this would happen. That the cloud, search/google, mega platforms and AI would swallow the whole thing up.

I didn't think so either. The funny thing is, Blade Runner, The Matrix, and the whole cyberpunk genre was warning us...

Yea but this feels quicker than anyone expected. It’s easy to forget, but alpha Go beating the best in the world was shocking at the time and no one saw it coming. We hadn’t sorted out what to do with big monopoly corps yet, we weren’t ready for a whole new technology.
