Why stop at the financial difference between a poor african boy and Elon Musk? Assuming this tech scales at the rate the article is proposing (spinning up N amazon services for N neocortices), why would the top dogs stop their competition for resources at the lower beasts of the earth besides in-group trust or paranoia? I'm sure the meat that makes a million dollars a year is just as prime material if not more interesting for the borg as poor indian children.

Oh right, they need techno-serfs or lab rats to actually implement or test these technologies on, hmmmmmmm.

Reminds me of a core principle of Sir Patrick Geddes: "its task is to find the right places for each sort of people; place where they will really flourish."
