Somewhere, there's an algorithm with your name on it. Happy New Year!

That “somewhere” is in the billionaire-owned cloud where the internet keeps its secrets. Those clouds just keep on getting bigger as the tailing ponds of unlimited data-mining accumulate. Processing all that data will demand an exponential increase in electric power generation. Guess the billion or so people on the planet without access to electricity are out of luck. You know what happens when demand gets too far ahead of supply. And the demands of Big Data will take precedence over the needs of peasants in Bangladesh. After all, they need to fine-tune that algo with your name on it. Happy New Year!
