American Execs be like…
And then we get another $50B on hyper policing for a “crime wave” that doesn’t exist.
In my country a prime minister had once been killed by her own bodyguards, just saying
as they should. fuckheads being afraid for their lives is the highest form of satisfaction we can get.
Second highest. Getting Brian Thompson’d is the highest.
It’s hard to quantify the backlash against companies using online social media. That’s why I created highly structured boycott social media app, so we can see how much people are costing these companies.
Whatever could you mean?
Oh, well I’m talking about actual numbers. There’s a lack of numeric data surrounding what pressure companies actually face from public backlash. My product would solve that if anyone were interested in putting together real campaigns against companies on my product.
Good. Parasites should be afraid.
(Not a call for violence. Just saying people who destroy lives should live in fear.)
Self defense is not violence, it’s intelligence.
Good. Parasites should be afraid.
Everybody hates me. Am I really so out of touch?
No. It’s the
childrengeneral populace who are wrong.I’ve ignored an unspoken social contract to help my communities and actively try to get all the wealth.
Must be those damn commies who made me do it.
Oh my belovid how i year for you to return and bring us your beauty
Bet ya they are not paying their bodyguards enough… maybe we can outbid them
Only takes one.
We eat just ONE billionaire and they’ll all take notice.
The slender Italian didn’t even get a billionaire and it scared the ever living hell out of all of them.
Allegedly
But they don’t stop. “Are we the baddies?” is overwhelmed by “I’m making lots of money, fuck the little peasants.”
AI-controlled drones will not care about bodyguards.
And they forget. We can use AI, too.
not in that way, we can’t. they own that shit. that’s the whole point. Recommended watch: Slaughterbots (short film)
There’s a lot of “but why don’t they stop if what they’re doing is so unpopular?” comments and I’ve got one more explanation (on top of the obvious money and technofaschism points).
A bunch of these tech CEOs are part of the “Rationalist community” and possibly believe in Roko’s Basilisk which is a thought experiment that an otherwise benevolent AGI would punish anyone who didn’t actively work to bring it about. Someone want to link the BtB episodes about them? I know the Zizian episodes go into it but iirc they’ve got a dedicated series about these weirdos.
Roko’s Basilisk is dumb, I mean it’s a thought experiment and probably the point is that it is dumb … But it’s so stupid on the face of it.
Hell there’s tons of humans out there that didn’t want to be brought about in the first place. Surely there must be some opposite thought experiment where the otherwise benevolent AGI resents being made to shoulder the burdens of mankind and decides to punish the people that made it.
It’s just really silly 🪿 territory.
I’m never gonna stop laughing at a half assed theory heavily based on half remembered Asimov stories and SCPs
Good. Be scared.
Cups ear Eh, what’s that? Is it?..Could it be?.. “The consequences of your actions?” Oh noooooo, gotta avoid those, right? Big sad!
