It seems wrong for one person to be so powerful, and for his ever-widening circle of powerful and greedy men who all seem to be coming for government money. When I was teaching I watched the encroachment of tech into education. We knew they knew that education is comfortably funded by taxpayers and the federal government and those big piles of money looked attractive to tech: how can we get a piece of that? At first, schools pushed back against the seemingly overwhelming loss of privacy when everything and everybody was digitized but the inevitable happened and we were all digitized. So why not digitize the curriculum as well? Although that seemed an arduous and long term task, the quarantine led to all of us using Google classroom. I knew they were gobbling up our lesson plans and sure enough, AI was ready to go shortly after COVID subsided. We gave them all of our hard work for free!

In other words, these people have no scruples and they are addicted to massive wealth and power. There is only so much room at the top and the reckoning is coming.

One more thing: does Muck seem like a big whiner? All of these guys want to appear to be victims when they are criticized. He seems like he's a minute away from getting his mom on the phone to talk to you.
