What happened to the techno optimistic abundance of everything that the VCs and tech founders were shilling?<p>"...the lifting of billions of people out of poverty to share in the new technologies, a renaissance of liberal democracy and human rights."<p>So we lift billions out of poverty by replacing everyone's jobs?
