I'm all for making us all more efficient, but not at the cost of creating new data monopolies, if possible. The price is very high, even though it's not immediately obvious.

We already have enormous concentration of data in a few places and it's only getting worse. Centralization is efficiency, but the benefits of that get skimmed disproportionally, to the detriment of what allowed these systems to emerge in the first place: our society.
