@Npars01@mstdn.social @cwebber@social.coop An industry relying on potential bankruptcy? See Canadian agriculture. It’s gone from family farms that watched out and supported each other, to little corporate agricultural operations waiting for nearby farms to fail, to allow their expansion.

@Npars01@mstdn.social @cwebber@social.coop All manner of federal and provincial funded supports in Canadian agriculture.. Are they supporting farmers, or keeping just enough small corporate risk takers (what used to be family farms) in business to keep the multinationals profitable?

@pinhman@humanwords.party @cwebber@social.coop That is likely what heavily capitalized billionaires like Musk are hoping for; waiting for smaller AI corporations to get swallowed by bigger ones. He gains their customer base along with the acquisition. Or he could do another TikTok, convince Trump to force a sale to a crony under "national security". The end result being all human knowledge under the control of a handful of oligarchs & metered out predatorially, with end users never sure if AI answers are correct.
