My issue isn’t with the technology but the fact that only an announcement created $100,000,000,000 worth of “value” while at the same time people are losing their jobs.
And even if the tech works, there are any number of reasons it won’t be successful. A competitor may beat them to it, or an open source one comes out, or the UI is terrible, or a middle manager cancels the project, or…
I have no issues with people making piles of money for creating useful things, but I do take issue with the speculative market moving around so much money while inequality is on the rise and people are out of work. And some of these are the very people who created that “value”.
I don’t really have a solution, but I also refuse to accept it as just the way things are.
