Isn't it pathetic how billionaires claim that AI will solve poverty

Instead of spending billions on AI the fuckers should instead just pay taxes

We could indeed solve poverty, not with AI but with stripping the ultra rich

They really want to be hated

[stux@mstdn.social]

Personally I would really suggest to them to accept the tax terms we offer..

..if they keep this shit up we'll come with a different offer and I'm sure they won't like that

Remember people, we are with a LOT more

@stux Eternal reminder that once it was estimated a paltry (compared to their earnings) $6-7Bn would essentially solve WORLD HUNGER, and that the douchebag techbro billionaires couldget a fund going, and it'd barelymakea dent in their profits... and the douches pretended they didn't hear/read that, while they made those $6Bn in a couple days, or so.

That money went into their 15th yacht or 37th mansions, instead.

But, hey...

[stux@mstdn.social]

@faraiwe There should be a world wide law that prohibits billionaires for existing..

Close the loop holes and let them pay

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@stux We had those, they were TAXES, way back when the US was a functional country, when the then-billionaires (adjust money values) paid over 80% income tax.

They used to flaunt that tidbit among each other in a competition of vanity.

Then, US had state funded child care, healthcare, best infrastructure and education in the world. People left high school with a job, and that job would pay for your life, comfortably.

What a thought. Maybe we should go back to that.

@stux I’m just a guy living a pretty swell life, and I think about eating billionaires all the time. If I am thinking that, others are thinking far worse thoughts.

Taxes seem like a pretty easy out in the grand scheme of things.

@OGJester @stux
Notice that there are no nasty female billionaires?

@stux but HOW would they solve poverty with AI?

[landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@stux Is it working, though? They still have their billions, and that's all that matters. It was blockchain, now AI, and the next one is probably going to be quantum.

[bl4ckst4r@kolektiva.social]

@stux funny because education actually defeats poverty (not only of course), imagine all this money would have, or would be invested in human intelligence

[retepkce@rollenspiel.social]

@faraiwe @stux "best" was always a myth.

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@Retepkce You were there, right? Had better than that at the time, too, right?

Until you find me better numbers and facts, do us all a favor and go find a hole that wants your opinion.

Shoo.

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@stux It's one tactic to claim they're threatened, by making everyone hate them.

[modernmaslow@techhub.social]

@stux The #TechBros can indeed solve poverty, and maximize #Capitalism profits, just by cornering the #energy sector and other #RootInfrastructure. They can also usurp #FossilFuels in producing armaments, to hasten this solve, by genocidal means in abusive control of said root infrastructure.

Welcome to the new authoritarian autocracy's version of Capitalism.
