It has been increasingly clear that the largest corporate growth, as evidenced by stock market valuation, has been in with companies that have taken advantage of people posting large amounts of information on line, that have worked outside of governments control or in government protected markets and that continue to dominate by becoming monopolies in themselves. The list is simple and profound: Amazon, Google, Twitter, Tesla, Uber, Yahoo and of course Apple

More to the point these largest of NEW industries readily boast of their strong IT and occasional AI ventures. It has not worked out well for the people using their services. For instance if 5,000 people read this post shouldn't I deserve something? I have homemade elderberry jelly and I could use 2 slices of bread.

So the results of advanced application of computer software, even with out general AI, has resulted in large losses of meaningful work for people. Any further approach to the singularity will be for more of the same. Further the control of these instruments will be in the same hands that control the oligarchy now -- they are NOT benevolent.

Alas, I have no answer and I have not seen any from you or your clan.
