We never talked about the Internet's repercussions, and yet here we are.

Did we do a good job, or should we have left that stone unturned?



"Did we do a good job, or should we have left that stone unturned?"

Regarding the quality of the average Website - no , but also no to the second. The time of the internet was just there with no precedent and now it is hyped imperfect AIs we have to deal with. I think the main problem in both cases is, that most people don't have a clue at all, how it works. (And too many of them are in positions of power).

It's kind of a hangover, don't you think? The past decade, I mean, with the Internet.


We have been talking about them since day 1 and we still are. DMCA, the existence of the EFF, cryptocurrency regulations are all examples of this.
