It’s true, there’s always the exceptions, the edge cases. But if I’m thinking about this statistically, who’s likely to breach this first? How many hackers from column A are hammering on this, how many from column B? I just think state actors and corporate interests are in fact the thing to watch out for. There just seem to be much fewer gen z computer geeks than there were millennials.
When you have a small elite, they don’t need to collude, they just develop a common climate of thought and common understanding of the future.
What pains me to think about - that these people are really brilliant for the most part, those whose names I know. Even Steve Jobs. And they were brilliant still for a few years after getting significant power.
That power still corrupted them, and this amount of “brilliant” is like a whole era, a whole phenomenon of humanity, being proven wrong.
Early 90s Apple is very nice to learn about, and early 90s Microsoft was powerful, but not evil yet, and early 90s Oracle was a really good company. And remember what Google was in its early years, they seemed the front line of the new age of openness and freedom. I won’t say anything good about early Facebook, but apparently it too managed to be good for someone.
Thank you for your response, I agree with everything you say, But corporations are eternal, people live and die, but the corporation will live on and sometimes I think they have ideas of their own. Like the individual people dying are just like the brain cells of the corporation individually dying, but it can regenerate those lost axons. I’m just being colorful I don’t actually believe corporations have their own internal brain
Heh, maybe the problem started when they changed their name. They aren’t “Apple Computer” any more, they’re just “Apple”. That must have happened somewhere around 2005.

So much for corporate propaganda.
