nigini quoted A Hacker Manifesto by McKenzie Wark
"Information, like land or capital, becomes a form of property monopolized by a class, a class of vectoralists, so named because they control the vectors along which information is abstracted, just as capitalists control the material means with which goods are produced, and pastoralists the land with which food is produced."

This was published 20 years ago! It is scary how much sense the "vectoralists" term makes when one considers the status quo of big-tech and the data-rush to train vector-based statistical models that some call AI.
