Although the tech industry seems to be getting the message from Fintech, this signaling is neither genuine nor is it effective. If I was a shareholder of a tech company and I saw this letter, I would be furious. What are six months going to do? After years of massive layoffs, testing the technology, reassuring shareholders expansion is on the horizon, and seeing relative competitors unveil their new products, you want to take a “paid” 6-month vacation to plan some more. What were you doing in the beginning, was that not the agenda for the entire existence of the company, “How can our technology be a benefit to society and not damaging”, that should have been the goal before making a blueprint. The fact the tech industry is now considering our well-being is concerning. Never trust technology or anything man-made. Just have fun with it.
