The Politics of Intermediation

Brian Greene: I definitely see like a dystopian version of this, where only one version of the AI is mandated and kind of adopted across the entire state. But there's also an optimistic version in which you all have to intermediate all information through say a mainstream press outlet or social media outlets. He says if we can achieve real fragmentation and local intermediation, great, let's try and get to it. Greene: If these technologies can drive decentralization and fragmentation, that's a good thing. And I don't hold out any hope, nor do I have any interest in pursuing such things against machines.
