    AI-gret is kicking in. The overstated benefits and claims of AI have been wild. All of this pushed by billionaire shitheads that just want their 1000X ROI while leaving the rest of us in freefall.

      If you think about it, if AI fails they don’t really care at this point. The companies that go bankrupt because of it will make for cheap and easy fodder for the larger companies to acquire.

      They have plans to succeed whether AI does or not. And the only thing that’s going to stop them is strict government regulation, penalization, and oversight. That’s why the candidate they paid for and cheated to get into office is making it impossible to do any of the above.

        They won’t need to acquire the companies; they have already leached their trade secrets.

        They can just start poaching customers now and let the smaller business dissolve into nothingness.

      What really makes me angry is that billionaires have all the money they can ever want and yet, they are greedy for more. It’s almost as if their entire fucking identity is tied to their financial “valuation”. Fuck these assholes.

        It is. So many people who work directly for these people have testified that they obsess over their position on the Forbes richest people lists.

        They are mentally ill and have what can only be described as the financial equivalent of body dysmorphia. They are the last people who should be in power right now. They must be removed from their positions by any means necessary if we want our species to survive. Inevitably they will be by necessity; either by us or by a future generation.
