It takes some technologies more time than others to succumb to the corrupting pressures of money, but they all fall eventually. We must keep outrunning it, building ever more resistant methods of communication. I'm hopeful that the next one will last even longer since we'll have to build it explicitly for resisting corruption. Neither the printing press nor radio nor webs 1 or 2 had fighting back as part of their DNA…
> we'll have to build it explicitly for resisting corruption Says who though? The current front runners? Who can't even not let them hack into into other companies over the weekend unsupervised already ?
Our earlier communication technologies merely had to work... at all. The next one will have to work in a world full of adversaries. The current front runners' products are those adversaries. Sure, they have legitimate uses, but when it comes to trustworthy communication between humans, AI agents have nothing to offer except for their ability to interfere.
