These are both among the phrases most like to be included in the subtitles of books about technology written by academics at elite universities

Tech company insiders have a *terrible* track record. We didn't get food safety from the farming industry, nor seat belts from the auto industry, nor clean air from polluters. "Insider" incentive is their payout, denying distortion that is denial all that we know about humans.

And
@amcafee, those warning us did not originate from the "elite" academics. Gee. The Harvard/Stanford pipeline is integrated with the tech payout. Early warners were more marginal academics. It just moved up as it became more obvious so "elite" academia joined, as they do.2 replies 6 retweets 42 likes -

While acknowledging there's reporting/writing that gets details wrong and could be better, I find the current tech industry obsession with "they don't understand" to be a defensive denial. It's a deflective shield not an answer; it's like Trump yelling "fake news" at journalists.

We've been trying for more than a decade to get them to be more transparent and accessible. The reality has been foot-dragging and obscurity. It's not just my experience. They do cooperate, sometimes, with "elite" academics, but not strong critics.

It sometimes surprises me (and this is not directed at at you) when people whose record mostly consists of accusing people of bad faith, stupidity and malice are surprised that their targets do not want to engage with them. A lot of 'strong critics' do fit this description

I don't disagree that there is criticism out there that's, well, less than stellar, but that doesn't negate the fact that we are undergoing a profound transition that's being under-managed and under-regulated. The shouting match that's part intra-elite competition isn't helping.
