      @wilbr This is quite a good articles, but misses some things. There could be an additional discussion about how capitalism captures the value produced by the knowledge worker in dormitary worker conditions, and the outcomes that produces in terms of racism, sexism and blinkered ideology. The gatekeepers described are gatekeepeers of capital flow, and created quite intentionally.

         @wilbr Also I don't go along with the good faith assumption about the sillicon valley oligarchs. If they were sincere about trying to produce a better world then they would have to change the way they operate quite fundamentally, and forego profits as a lesser concern. But of course they're not going to do that.
