SocProf reviewed The Age of Extraction by Tim Wu
Closing the barn doors after the horses have already left
4 stars
I'm surprised Wu, who's usually prescient, is behind on this. That or he underestimates how much power the tech platforms have already accumulated. Suggesting as a possible, partial solution that tech platforms should not be allowed to invest in AI is closing the barn doors after the horses have already escaped.
