Who cares who owns the data center? The govt can send in the army and nationalise it... Lol as if you really believe that a bunch of people will actually control everything and the govt wont?
The point youre making is important - these geeks have no clue where things will land. The only person Ive seen involved in technology that was pretty good at predicting was Steve Jobs. But he wasnt really a geek, more of a hippie - meaning he had an understanding of people and society. Amodei definitely does not.
