The greatest threat from Big Tech isn’t superior intelligence. It’s ordinary stupidity armed with extraordinary power.
Civilisation has made its own destruction so profitable that its survival now constitutes a threat to the economy.
How engagement incentives, selective censorship and data extraction weaken cooperation, and why peace depends on changing what our communications systems reward.
