why has Silicon Valley defied its warnings?
For the same reason any industrial sector defies warnings - PROFIT. Plus, money has the uncanny side effect of protecting you from the worst consequences of the problems you’ve caused.
Because those ghouls want to build Tessier-Ashpool. They want their palace in the sky where the rules don’t apply to them.
Why? Because they want to be the filthy rich bad guys from cyberpunk stories.
You know what’s wild is Gibson said he had only ever seen a computer once ‘through a window’ when he wrote Neuromancer!
