MODERATORS
I'm in the awkward position of being genuinely excited by this type of technology while desperately wishing literally anyone but Elon Musk was pushing them.
There are plenty of people other than Elon Musk pushing tech like this. They just don't chase headlines as aggressively as Musk's businesses do.
Doesn't matter who pushes them, it only matters who regulates and pushes to control them.
