Steven Yates: Navigating Technofeudalism as a Cloud Serf
Steven Yates explains how we've seen a gradual structural move back to a fundamentally feudal system (technofeudalism/technocracy) in which Big Tech overlords, owners of cloud capital, have replaced landed gentry. And if we till the soil of its platforms for a fee, we’re cloud serfs or cloud proles. He also discusses expatriating to Latin America.
