> Why do I sense a schadenfreude here? It's like people are rooting for their failure.
You sound surprised. Why?
After all, they have been selling their product on the basis of driving the value of human labour as close to zero as possible (your labour included). Why wouldn't people want such an endeavour to fail?
No. It is no more your choice than tomorrow's weather. Sure you could in theory directly or indirectly persuade someone with direct access to aircraft-based cloud seeding. But in practice your personal effect is going to be negligible.
My point is - humanity as a species has already effectively made its choice.
They're trying to enclose all of human knowledge so they can sell it back to us, all while displacing human labor and centralizing control of the economy.
They're telling us human endeavors are no longer needed if they succeeded, they also warn us that they might accidentally cause the end of the world in the process.
Among other reasons, because it's been evident that the numbers won't add up from the beginning. It's always delicious when reality catches on a major scam.
