We only needed a couple for research, and it shouldn't have been enough for people to go this ham with it. Should have been one big effort like the large hadron collider. The rest could be local stuff so people can run for their own use case. Basic storage should mostly be a local effort as well, but local smart environment hype got usurped by non-local environment connectivity, cause basic digital privacy stopped being a concern for too many regular people some time ago. Frankly the instrumental convergence turning development into to corpo frontend slop doesn't help anything.
All technological and social development will be usurped by the Epstein class until we fix our social structure, and nobody wants to listen to the academics on that front.
Not the MBA economic magic circle around neoliberal corpo capitalist soothsayers who are all playing ball on the "don't disrupt the hierarchy" court.
As a fan of science and technology, I really hope we can work with actual experts in finding a way to grow a new system out of the current flailing corpse acting as a system.
Like every other valuable thing for humanity, it is being bastardized to fit the fantasy of the Epstein class parasites.
