The article fails to address the bigger issue: if enough data is provided and the information becomes clear, what then is the resultant?

Without a genera A.I. (which we are a long way from) how can the process work be done and what will it mean if it can be done? We’d like to think that we’d be more productive... we’d create new and better “things”... but if history is any guide, we’d simply focus on straightforward profit generating bullshit...

Great post. I’ve been working hard to encourage my children to understand this very concept.

Agreed on both points. The shift will bring a lot of opportunity to build a more decentralized repo base. I think something like (Keybase)[http://keybase.io] might be interesting.
