Who ever started the whole enlightenment thing, with the idea that there is no god and we are responsible for our self.

Fair point.

Also OP recognized that it sounds elitist, which I initially just agreed with. Not sure why you interpret this as a bad faith argument.

If an AI has gained the power to overthrow governments

Facebooks algorithms are pretty close to this ability. But AI is not the problem - artificial consciousnesses would be, since it would gain own agency. And for all we know consciousnesses might be just a byproduct of a complex enough neuronal network with enough recursive loops and it already managed to appear more or less random at least once.

I like to aimlessly walk around and see where I land.

The big MacBook Pro was shit. Almost switched to other brand after it.

Apple actually pioneered and pushed USB-C use with their Macbooks which had only USB-C ports. Pretty sure they kept lightning out of pure greed.

But people started using it for small groups, for some reason. They had somehow amazing PR.
