Make the guillotine great again
Unsurprising reaction from a supervillain.

Hey a rich out of touch asshole who has nothing in common with his fellow man has an opinion about something!
I bet he knows what he’s talking about!
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.
Being completely wrong on all topics is an accomplishment on its own.
It takes dedication and really going the extra mile to be so diabolically shitty.
What sorts of salads and sides would go well with him?
its
Imagine that! All the billionaires defending each other. Go figure!
Yes. Lol. Not like anyone else will for much longer.
It’s like they have some sort of solidarity. One based on their class. Seems like an idea that could greatly benefit them.
Shit. That’s brilliant. I wish it would work for the rest of us. If only we outnumbered them… Lol.
These billionaire ghouls just don’t know when to stfu
I honestly cannot imagine being THAT rich, being able to do anything, and still being such a massive piece of shit
You don’t get to be that rich without being a massive piece of shit.
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.
just don’t know when to stfu
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.
I don’t think they can afford to
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?
Of course he does. In their future we don’t exist as citizens but as chattel
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.
Let them eat cake.
Or instead, and I’m going out on a limb here, the rich.
Did he remove the wonk from his eye?
Lucky photo probably
I am starting to downvote these posts. I know what an asshole like Bezos would say if asked, then a good-for-nothing tech press guy asks AND you give him a platform on Lemmy.
There is no valuable analysis or any collateral reporting that makes this other than self-inflicted propaganda.
I agree with your sentiment but I like these posts for a strategic reason: Bezos intends for his statements to bolster support, but his strategy is falling flat. Support for AI is either level or declining, and anger over its harm is growing. Bezos reveals the extent to which he is out-of-touch. I think his statements actually inflame opposition to AI: his propaganda is motivating his opponents while leaving his supporters indifferent. When I upvote Bezos quotes, I am thinking to myself, ‘hey everybody, get a load of this asshole!’ I am definitely not upvoting him because I think his claims have merit or that they will convert people to support AI.
I feel like the fact that Bezos himself is out here arguing means that he’s losing.
Thank you! Im really irritated by the amount and ratio of upvotes this post has.
alien bezos saying humans should stop resisting AI.
