Without having read the article, reacting on the headline: no single person should be allowed to control our future. Democracy is a thing in large parts of the world, and we should try very hard to keep that functioning and even improve it.

Thats not democracy.

It's also not not democracy. It has little to do with a form of government.

>People are voting with their wallets

A handful of people's wallets are much deeper than vast swaths of the population. None of this AI shit would be happening without their funding.

The only part of the world where _democracy_ is a thing is Switzerland. Rest of the western world is utterly ruled by politicians, governments with ever more control over _their_ population's private life and money, and some who shout out "democracy", deluded they have any control over anything through voting lol.
