Just because you build something doesn't mean you fully understand its implications. Emergent behavior exist, especially at this scale.
My point is that we don't need to get philosophical to criticize big tech.
They are destroying democracies, using our natural resources in a ponzi scheme that benefits very few at the detriment of billions, etc.
We have plenty of reasons for regulation already.

@thomasfuchs We don't know what makes one wake up in the morning and decide to climb a mountain or quit their job.
It may be some completely different process or there might be something to this pattern-matching statistical thing.
Do ants have agency? Do ant colonies?

We definitively must regulate the shit out of these big techs.
But saying that X does not do Y when both are poorly understood and defined is not the way, IMO.
