    One thing that’s become very clear is that all these billionaires are not smart people. Most of them were born on 3rd base or just got lucky.

    But their are not wise or worth listening to.

    In fact most of them are just shitty dumb pieces of shit psychopaths

    Well what did you expect, him to come out and say “yes, billionaires are detrimental to society”?

    The police investigated themselves and found nothing wrong.

    Oh, so the cartoonishly evil CEO said the evil rogues gallery of CEOs isn’t evil? It’s also so funny how he could say “no, young worker’s jobs aren’t in that much danger.” Then mark fuckerberg goes on stage saying how many people he’s replaced with ai. Wholly shit its impossible.

        Exactly. Average asshole gets a billion, they get a financial advisor, let their money turn into generational wealth with investments, and donate to charity while living in a big mansion.

        The billionaires we have are more of mentally sick wannabe dragons, the horde will never be big enough to satisfy them.

          Hell, that will happen at tens of millions. The magnitude of a billion is crazy.

          Even if they are more driven to keep going, others turn to more philanthropic pursuits. Well before a billion the number becomes more like a high score rather than giving any quality of life improvements, so what’s the point of getting more? Most will want to mean more to the world than just some high score. So accumulated wealth starts getting directed away for all but sociopaths that relish the high score in and of itself.

      I don’t think they can afford to, if they’re betting on this technology. They have to use their public influence to convince as many (important) people as possible for as long as possible to squeeze as much money as possible. After all, if these successful CEOs say it’s good, other CEOs may be swayed as well, and they’re the suckers that’ll end up deciding to spend the fruit of other people’s labour on infrastructure and tokens.

        Oh sure they have to influence, but I would expect them to do so a bit more on the down low. If they have a whiff of self awareness, they know this will just do more harm than good to their interests.

        These people literally have fuck you money, they can afford a fuck-up like the AI bubble popping tens of times over if not endlessly with their countless legal loopholes. Their attitudes are based purely on having never faced repercussions for their societal parasitism and an insatiable desire for “more”.

          Financially, sure. Emotionally, their sense of self-worth and their image is defined by their financial success. To have bet on a losing horse would sting. Hence, they need it to succeed.

      Or what? What are you(plural) gunna do about it? They keep getting away with it so what is this “when” you speak of and what’s going to happen?

      Even small children and animals learn very quickly that empty threats are far more cringey than scary and begin ignoring them almost immediately. These are grown people who’ve lived their whole lives without consequences and you think they give a shit?

    It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It

    I’d imagine this applies even more to billionaires who make the average person’s salary every minute.
