This is very much like the Black Mirror episode Joan Is Awful.

By using modern services we consent to our data, including our likeness, being used in any way the service can extract value from it. User data is such a gold mine that most services should be paying their users instead. Even giving the service away for "free" doesn't come close to making this a fair exchange.

Not to sound pessimistic, but we are already living in a dystopia, and it will only get much, much worse. Governments are way behind in regulating Big Tech, which in most cases they have no desire in since they're in a symbiotic relationship. It's FUBAR.

Balaji talks a lot about the state losing power in the future, but I don't think this is how he was envisioning it.

As far as I can tell he's not only pretty sure he'll be part of the class that holds power like this without accountability to any state, he consistently makes manipulative statements which function to move things in that direction.

Enjoyed the Black Mirror reference, and will hopefully add to the pop culture enjoyable cross linking with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HumancentiPad.
