I’d like to share your optimism, but over the last century we’ve undergone a radical shift towards power inequality: where before one needed 2 people in 12h shifts to track and spy on the movements of 1 person, now all they need is 3 peoole in 8h shifts to oversee the datacenter tracking and spying on the movements of millions.
We aren’t yet at the “1 person giving orders to a self-repairing datacenter controlling a million drones”, but we are closer to that, than to the French Revolution or any earlier scenario.
