No, because I don’t want to live in a world where one guy can roam the oceans on his superyacht while children starve and people die because they do not have “money”.
No, because the only reason this wealth exist is because people who make close to the median income put hours of their life into their project (and some gave their health and life for them). Take these people off the equation and the rich are nothing, yet they have more money than all the people who’ve accomplished all the work will make in their lifetime… combined!
Yes we could if the rich paid their fair share in taxes and didn’t hog all the wealth.
All they do is drizzle some tiny amount to the public here and there to appear generous and get tax benefits.
The vast majority of their money just gets wasted for their egomaniacal projects in an attempt to be remembered forever.
None of the shit they are developing is going to safe us from extreme climate change. In fact those same people are a heavy driving force behind climate change.
Comic could have had the rich cunts behind oil companies withholding climate data, car manufacturers lying about the safety of their products, housing companies kicking out a poor family, etc.
Instead they chose to go after the technology instead of the people or their evil choices.
the specific people are all (with the exception of Sam Altmann) grifters. they are

Sam Bankman Freid’s brother, who was talking about buying an island to carry “effective altruists” through an extinction-level event.
It pisses me off that these are the first EA adjacent people that are broadly well-known, rather than Givewell and 80,000 hours, who are actually doing good work.
EA is primarily advice for people with moderate amounts of disposable income (i.e. middle class), or people trying to figure out their career trajectory. Earn to give is very much a minority position, and that’s pretty much the only one that at all involves aiming to be rich.
Longtermism is mostly a weird set of academics. the recent folks using it as a pretext to buy houses in the Caribbean are almost purely a group of cryptobros using it as a way to ethics-wash their pump and dump.
Do you think destroying the planet is progress? These are jackasses doing more harm than good and they’re labeling their stupid visions as progress. Central planning is filled with issues, right? Well a few rich people shaping the world to their liking is pretty damn centralized.
You actually think some programmers and scientists creating a language model is destroying the world?
I’d say that belongs to the large investment firms, and the billionaires who decide to do things like bury climate data and push propaganda that climate change isn’t a thing for the last 100 years.
What is this Luddite shit?
We have the means to look after people and develop advanced technologies (except the genetically enchanting, that sound a bit ethically sketch).
So why don’t we look after people if we have the means?
Who has the means? Why don’t they share and use their wealth to really help people and create progress?
And why do we let them act this way?
We as in humans, on Earth, right now.
Why? Because we’re under a dysfunctional system.
They don’t share it because it’s theirs
And this is not okay.
There needs to be limit on how much wealth a single person can accumulate.
Because you want to have a say in other people’s businesses
No, because I don’t want to live in a world where one guy can roam the oceans on his superyacht while children starve and people die because they do not have “money”.
No one’s starving in a first world country.
This is like when ahmadinejad said “in Iran, we don’t have homosexuals”

Yeah, fuck those other guys over there, who cares about people in far away countries, right?
Seriously, we are a global society, and we need to think globally.
No matter where people starve, we should prevent that. And we can. We just choose not to, because “no one is starving in a first world country”.

Not rightfully so

There are arguments based on the moral foundations of property rights that illustrate this
They don’t deserve it and they do deserve to be poor.

Right, capitalists suck, we all know this.

Hence it being Luddite shit.

EA is entirely a scam.
Nah, EA is alright if done properly. The “Longtermism” aspect is pure bullshit though.
EA is just PR. It’s a way to get rich while pretending to do good.

Sounds like you’re still learning. There are assumptions baked into that, which only support the elite.
oh fuck off presumptive twat
What am I presuming?

But hey, you do you champ!
