My little brother is 20 years younger then I and was raised by youtube. I find his attitude towards things really weird. Like I asked him why he didn't use an adblocker to get rid of all the ads and he replied "I want to support to the streamers by watching their ads". As someone who grew up in a more punk/fuck authority, don't sell out 90s this threw me for a total loop. If he was on an android phone he would be mashing that ALLOW ACCESS button to play every game.
I quit facebook after cambridge analytica. Probably 2 weeks of typing "Fa...." into my browser and going "oh wait". There a few birthday parties/bbqs I probably missed because of not being reminded I exist on peoples invite lists, but they weren't the closest friends to begin with.
No one cares who you are, they are just trying to sell ad space.
We are in early stages and the monopoly will get worse.

A) The whole team was responsible for the project, if the framework broke we took the blame as a team rather than crapping on individuals
B) PRs got seriously reviewed, there were strict rules about what was a quality PR and our team lead ensured that they were enforced. At the start of the project I lost several days of work because my PRs weren't of sufficient quality.
C) We got a start a project with no legacy code, building everything from the ground up. We had architecture meetings, everyone's input was vetted and valued.
Since then I haven't worked on a team where I felt that things were as cohesive. People make shitty design decisions and are not receptive to criticism. Lots of rubber stamping "approve" on PRs without actually reviewing the code, or accepting PRs without unit tests. Inheriting legacy code which was written poorly, but still has to be maintained. Nothing quite has the same feeling as that first project.
I can remember Continental testing emergency braking assistant in 2011. There was braking and accelerating noise near their office every day for weeks. They tested with giant rectangle and dummy pedestrian and apparently it worked well. Did Uber turned this feature off?
Edit: typos
Seem like your making a pretty big assumption that "Human driver would try at least an emergency braking. Even if it’s too late."
Not that young anymore, another "lost generation"? Lost in clicks, taps, swipes, likes, and upvotes. The only truly innovative invention of social networks is the psychological one, yet not done by the pschylogical professionals - how to mercilessly monetize and exploit the dopamine injection cycle of a human. Shall we invent a way to block on demand the dopamine inflow, the same way we block ads and shut down the lights in a room?
> It seizes some of the best, noblest human instincts — to share, to know, to connect, to belong — and harnesses them to a degrading system of profit.
This just screams "Tinder" (for a male) with their premium plans, "boosters", and whatnot. Yet here I am - contributing my time and intellectual ability on a website from a country where I will never live or work, which on my entry attempt will assume I'm an intruder, ie. I'm trowing both into a black hole. Please upvote.
Internet with social networks enabled something new. Massive global crowd for whom English is the lingua franca. The creativity of this crowd is consumed by American corporations sucking them into their outsourcing centers (or even better more recently - free labour with a promise of becoming an influencer), and the spreading of language is choked by the copyright lobbies. Don't take as granted having your language as a lingua franca, Anglosphere, be timid - 30 years ago we would speak French and you'd be out of this conversation.
Honestly if you think social networks are just for people who speak english you gotta take a look at the world a bit more.
