Why this dilemma matters
Every new capability quietly removes a previous choice — the question is whether that trade is worth it. Choosing “Rent through subscriptions and accept losing access” prioritises what the system makes easy; choosing “Buy fewer games and actually own them” gives more weight to what it makes invisible.
Worth asking yourself
- Does ease here come at someone else’s expense?
- What would you give up to keep this capability?

- An AI generates a masterpiece painting with no human creative input. Who owns the copyright?
- A self-driving car's brakes fail. It must choose: swerve into a barrier (killing the passenger) or hit a pedestrian who jaywalked.
- Scientists can upload your consciousness to a computer perfectly. Your biological body must die in the process. Is the digital version still you?
- A bill would ban all social-media access for under-16s, enforced by ID. It would protect some kids and lock out others who use these platforms to find communities they need.
