How did we arrive to the point of the traditional left wing - including the most of the media - trusting multinational megacorps and not trusting regular people (by that I mean your typical university researcher not employed by a multinational megacorp)? Nation states, at least the big ones, already have access to the SOTA by means of espionage, which is - at least as far as China is concerned - a well documented reality.

I mean... like you said, the genie is already out of the bottle, I don't get it.
