   Zuckerberg's new years resolution is to "think seriously" about decentralization. If he does this then he'll conclude that monoliths are a bad fit for social systems and pretty much kryptonite to good governance and that he'll have to start a different company making something like federated home servers or mesh systems.
   
   AI isn't going to be a get-out clause for the antisocial dumpster fire which is contemporary silo systems.
   
   But of course he can't decentralize without destroying Facebook as we know it. It would knock him out of the top ten oligarch list. This is the glorious part about it all. If he's a smart guy then he'll be able to binocular the iceberg, but he won't be able to stop the Titanic from crashing into it.

      @bob would it change something if Farcebook would decentralize? I think no. Only because they have different locations doesn't mean they will stop their business. In their means "decentralized" is "distributed" and that is by far not close to the same meaning. This would would solve their problem with country laws and "keeping" the data in the country *cough* ... if somebody is out there believing this ;)
