The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out. Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it.

Andreessen’s reasons for dismissing Risk #4: inequality - are laughably naive. The billionaires have built walled gardens around their proprietary technology so that customers end up renting it as a service that they get locked into and so they never become equal stakeholders in the technology. His example of Tesla is actually a good example of the inequality that technology leaders promote. Tesla has a monopoly on the repairs and spare parts for their vehicles
