Satya Nadella in the closing to Build:

There are really two stories people can tell about this moment. One is that technology concentrates power, reduces human agency, and leaves to society to absorb the consequences. The other is that we use this next wave to unlock opportunity for developers, scientists, enterprises, and every community. And our job is to make the second story true.

Always interesting when people in power talk about not further concentrating power. I believe he’s sincere, though. I worry more when those with total control over a platform (see: Apple) don’t acknowledge it.

@manton Sincere or not, the problem with his statement is it doesn’t end with “our job is to make story one untrue”.

@danj The way he framed it, it sort of implied an either/or… But you’re right, the statements weren’t exactly opposites.
