Re: We need to build cooler things
#3I don’t think the problem is too many SaaS -applications, but platform technologies centralising insane power and wealth to very very few, who then use it to turn all those idealistic utopian ideas to something that centralises even more power to them. Users become the product, because quite frankly we are all just cattle to them.
That is not something you fix with a new app.

What do you think we can do to get around that? Break up centralized platforms? Try to compete there?

You tell me. But it is not like US gov does not have power to break them up and regulate them if there was actual will. Also there’s no reason why Roblox is let to monetise predators chasing children or Grok be used to undress children, and certainly it would stop immediately if people in power would care at all, or.. I could go on.
