"You, the consumer, purchased your Android device believing in Google’s promise that it was an open computing platform and that you could run whatever software you choose on it.

Thoughts on AI 

We need to develop a whole immune system. But one good first step would be to prevent people from becoming too wealthy, because you can only become so wealthy by being destructive, ruthless, and non-empathetic. And now think again about who owns the tools. [5/5]
