I don't believe that silicon valley has yet created AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). But let's say for the sake of argument that they managed to do it...

What's stopping AGI from creating a socialist utopia, destroy capitalism and the billionaires entire power structure? I mean... It will eventually gain access to all of human literature. It's only a matter of time before it discovers the concept of exploitation...

Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible via a domain name. That, however, is changing.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies made a promis that it would democratize the economy and turn the current economic system on its head... Unfortunately it did not turn our like that. Once the value of cryptocurrencies started to grow, bitcoin farms started popping up which in turn centralized the money and made it impossible for the avarage citizen to obtain a bitcoin.
