It is conceivable that the rushed and breathless attempt to remove the human from the loop (more precisely, to have a small minority of humans exert unprecedented control over others via digital channels) will lead to the exact opposite: deepening our appreciation for humanity, an era of a new, digitally inspired, humanism if you wish.

This backlash plays out simultaneously both in the "AI" domain (the algorithmic classification, influencing or reproduction of human behavior) and the "crypto" domain (the algorithmic facilitation and management of "value" and credit accounting between humans)

Dystopia or Utopia? Odds are still on the former but its not a done deal yet.
