A.I. Pioneer Bengio Yoshua Says Tech Monopolies Are ‘Dangerous for Democracy’
A.I. Pioneer Says Tech Monopolies Are ‘Dangerous for Democracy’
(actually A.I. magazine / journal has been in print since before he's been in diapers - I've browsed some copies from a nearby nasa rocket propulsion dr's private library: in the 1980's)
--------------------------------
The real situation is worse. Countries hacking linux to put in security issues and assured failure and all attacking each other for control of: OS dominance (right to issue update forced on others: top down control), cell platform shelf space in stores, GAMING: end to end development kit sales and gaming platforms, attacking usa pioneering companies like Intel. power and money and world dominance, and much more: like "scholars" in foreign countries getting OBAMA grants (usa taxpayer money) to ATTACK usa tech companies, unpaid trodden upon patents, it's endless.
The field is totally fucked, Clinton (USA) de-regulated it saying "tech companies needed to grow without regulation".
Like health care: there is no way back to "sain" from where it is.
Certainly Supply and Demand should be important, "sain" trade between countries should reduce consumer cost without endangering military autonomy for every country, and it should be EASY for developers to release on all platforms.
Ain't gonna happen. They are all at each other's throats and many of the worst are the ones preaching for "it all to be free" (of course, because they are funded by a foreign gov, they want USA's tech FREE and coder's labor free: but Samsung shares to RISE)
Tech is one of the biggest fucks ups going today: and allot of that fueled by political choices / and their political brats.

and fucking COX - paid to bring me TV, has issued out several set top boxes AND several modems (infinite budget to upgrade - but i don't get any benefit from upgrades - all for features I can't enable)
fucking COX is having their own chinese imported PRODUCT LINE OF cell phones, boxes, and now tablets, and other systems
where is that going? to get TV which used to be free (which my senile parents happily sign for, because they're fucking senile), I have to fund COX to use profits to "make their own tech world" rather than just bring TV / internet into the home. which includes, btw, their new "systems" both being hard to use and broken AND which attack my older linux boxes WHILE not offering shit to me in return
