> “It’s very profound and even a little bit scary — because it’s happening very quickly, and there is no upper bound,” Gates told Brooks.
The “there is no upper bound” in this assertion seems to be bearing a lot of weight. It’s probably a mistake to believe that the upper bound is where we are currently, I admit, but it also feels equally scummy to hear another Shovel-merchant announcing that they have struck a vein of infinite gold and it’s only a matter of time before everyone’s digging. The rhetoric used here, where this bold claim is just thrown in as if it’s already universally acknowledged, particularly rubs me the wrong way.
