You know, I'm wondering the same thing. Corporations should really have a limit on how much it grows. It's becoming too big to be controlled, and I hope they rein it in before it's too late. I mean, I like most of their output, but I don't want to be riding a Disney-made car and live in a Disney-powered house in the near future. Great to have you back on here, bud! :D

That's the thing there... I won't be going for a ride in a car that's satnav comes with choice of man, woman, or mouse. I don't really get how Disney, Amazon, or Google have gotten to the sizes that they are...I guess the good old days of the 1990s anti-Trust cases against Microsoft are long since faded along America's scenic highways and byways.
May the world forgive us if Disney builds Skynet.
Glad to be back... gotta catch up on that reading... lol
BBC brought out a documentary about the Game Theory (if the title was an original, it actually said 'we are fucked'!!)
Game theory says corporations should be allowed to police themselves because they'll always do what is good for their customers, since that is good for business.
Well, I guess you can take a guess as to which direction that took us.
"Multinational fuckings all around!"
First thought that popped in my head. I'll have to see if I can find that one.
Okay, I saved you the trouble and just made a post with the first of three vids from BBC.
Missed this. Will check it out though.
Ahahaha! That'll be something! I bet it'll be pretty annoying once Mickey constantly tells you to take a U-turn. Not sure if I'll feel the same way if Goofy was the voice though.
In Amazon and Google's case, I think I've watched their rise more closely. With decentralization going mainstream though, it's interesting how large corporations would react.
Goofy might be alright. But, Mickey's would surely send me to the funny farm.
Decentralization quite possibly could be the corporate solution to following different government regulations and tax haven crackdowns. Meanwhile it creates a whole new set of problems with corporate ownership, responsibility, and compliance.
With both companies providing the infrastructure for a significant number of crypto projects, I worry that decentralization is a myth like Dry Land isn't.
Oh it definitely does. I think anything disruptive would really cause a major paradigm shift. The real question is if it would be for the better. No matter how accurate predictions could be, there are still unforeseen factors at play.
It's always the unforeseen factors... those bastards. ;) Could you imagine how boring life would be without them? We'll never know if it's for the better until after we try it out that's the sad and sorry state of unknown factors having a hand in reality. lol.
Dear me, I think I just implied we can't know SkyNet is bad until after we build it. NOPE. THAT's NOT WHAT I MEANT AT ALL!!! (Sorry. Had to yell that so that the DisneyAI in the machine will know -- j/k -- or am I?).
Hahaha! Too late! It's etched on the blockchain now. The wheels are in motion. Humanity will trace back its renaissance or destruction here haha!
That, my friend, is hilarious.
