I've been waiting for years for the emergence of the original Web 3.0 - the semantic web [1]. A web of machine readable data based on ontologies. How did it get redefined as a web on top of append-only blockchains?
How did the point of "open-source" get hijacked so quickly by the tech bros who have also helped the surveillance capitalists agenda and exploit more of these free-software developers to the point where they end up working for the likes of surveillance capitalist big tech companies using open-source projects (and privately modifying it) for free to accelerate and speed up pushing their closed-source spyware?
I think maybe both of these concepts that many technologists have envisioned have become quite frankly hopelessly utopian and instead has helped pave another road to a dystopian hell.
