There was a post I enjoyed recently saying that basically Capitalism lost the plot & became a negative force as it became ever more the purpose of a company to diffuse responsibility, to not suffer greatly for doing a so so or even bad job of the thing.

Tech alas so often is the hammer in this bad relationhip, acts as such a horrible tool against humankind broadly. Doing so much to shield and protect the guilty, to make situations illegible & confounded. There's so many domain of concerns that overlap in so many complex ways, and so so so few people within companies and usually vastly less still outside who can see & view these domains & overlap.

It's only getting vastly worse. It feels like the fix so very nearly was in for the Feds to outlaw any regulation at all against AI in the US! AI is so much harder, so much worse than the bad systems work here, vastly more impervious to understanding than what has come before.

We are falling from god's light, into the deepest shadows of our own making. The machines keep getting more infernal.
