He lamented how the early blogosphere leveled the playing field between you, me, and The Times itself, but now power-hungry platforms hoard our data. The Economic Times echoed this on February 13, reporting his stark warningAI is hurtling toward superintelligence, outpacing its creators, with promises in drug discovery but perils if it serves corporations, not us. He pushed his Solid project hard, those user-controlled data pods that flip the script so your info works for you, not Big Techmaybe even with kid-safe settings to dodge addictive apps like Instagram.

A fresh book review hit Kara dot Reviews on February 14, praising his Solid push as a bid for webs second coming, though skeptics wonder if hell lead it.
