And just how are you suffering, Mr. Billionaire?
“I was only able to buy 2 yachts and one jet. Last year I got 4 yachts and 3 jets.”
Well, can you imagine being given a million dollars and someone coming along and saying 'oh, sorry, you didn't withdraw that in time and now it's no longer there, and you owe use a $100 transaction fee'. That would really suck, wouldn't it?
Now imagine that happening 10 times a day, and you can start to imagine how horrible some of these billionaires feel every day!
Of course to make it more realistic, your job wouldn't require you to actually ever come into the office or do anything, they would occasionally double or triple your salary based on the stock market, and instead of it being a million dollars, it would be a dollar or so every once in awhile and you wouldn't know what the transaction fee was because it is effectively less than a rounding error on your current balance. Also banks will loan you money and just write it off if you don't pay it back with no impact to your credit score.
For the first time ever, his assets only warranted stealing 20 0% interest million dollar loans instead of hundreds. He's becoming a Poor!
That’s actually a pretty good idea. What if we started putting tech billionaires through the wood chipper? It could be like the American guillotine
I’m imagining the next viral video trend on the order of “will it blend”.
There's is nothing too awful to happen to sundar Prichai.
No horrible fate could befall that man that would not cause me delight.
Do they make a 2-stroke wood chipper? The planet can dank the damage and it’ll get the chuds on board /s
I'm sure he's suffering through it.
I think we can all agree, we should put people like this in the wood chipper and unboubtedly the world would be a better place.
The billionaires want to build industrial wood-chippers to get rid of us en masse, meanwhile individual sized wood-chippers already exist.
Bingo

Sounds like on of these.
I've got about $100 I can afford to fund this endeavor.
I don't see a stat for how many billionaires it can shred per minute. Any idea?
Agree. AGREE?!
Well, firstly, I want to know are you a namby pamby "make it quick, put them head first in to the woodchipper" person.
Or a steely eyed "make the parasites suffer and go feet first and make them watch it happen" type.
If we are going to agree on anything then we need to agree on these fundamentals!!
I am for head first.
There is no benefit for other's suffering. Just make it quick.
That's one thing I really liked about the first John Wick movie. No drawn out revenge torture, just a quick bullet and walk out. No need to take some kind of sick pleasure in it, there's a job to be done.
Now that's not to say I won't enjoy some feel-good thoughts about the whole thing, but I just don't take pleasure in making a death slow and painful.
Head first, but the line up to the top has a really good view.
Dick first
What do you call a private jet full of billionaires crashing into a mountain?
A good start.
Not if the people trying to force it on us go in to the chipper first.
This type of stuff is exactly why I am moving all of my accounts away from Google. Google is now as bad or evenworse than Microsoft.
To where?
For me - self-hosted.
As long as the tech Bros and the CEOs suffer first and the most I'm okay with it.
That ascribes far too much agency to AI. It's people like him who are putting society through the woodchipper.

For me, this is the most depressing part.
So many of the technically competent individuals I know are just gleefully throwing their competency and credibility into this ‘AI’ grift chipper with utter abandon.
I can’t see a viable path through it, and whenever they’ve articulated what they see on the other side, it is beyond repugnant and I truly don’t see any benefit in existing in that world if it ever manifests.
We're cooked. Gotta fight back
Where is Alphabet at on creating robot infantry? Not sure if ads are going to save them from societal woodchipering:
Google sold Boston Dynamics to Hyundai a few years ago. I wonder if they regret it...
ah yes, the "don't be evil" corporation
I'll suffer if he goes through the woodchipper
I’d love for him to have to suffer through… everything, really, if I’m being honest, given what he’s helping to do to humanity.
He's a massive piece of shit.
I'm just giddy with excitement. /s
Doesn't this situation call for companies that could decide to block AI and double down on the human workforce? And those companies who do would be rewarded by all of us who hate AI and they would succeed by the supposed rules of the free market. Why isn't any company stepping up to compete against AI run companies? Wouldn't it be an amazing opening to compete and win?
Also, it wasn't talked about in the article, but one of the big arguments for why this AI thing has to be so inevitable is that we have to compete with China. They think we have to start this race with China, to try to win AI.
First of all, I think we might have already lost the race. Second of all, even if you don't agree that we've already lost. What if by embracing AI, China and all the other countries are destroyed by it? What if it just makes so many mistakes and errors that it just destroys their economy and destroys their country?And then the countries who were cautious about AI would be fine.We'd be the winners, not having succumbed to this ridiculous urge to use everything AI.
People always forget that anything and everything hooked up to a network is hackable. I'll say it again. Everything hooked up to a network is hackable.Including this shitty AI stuff. If we put everything into AI, even if we win, another country could just hack us. And screw everything up. The bottom line is.There is a space to say no to AI and succeed.
I know I'm not that super articulate about this, but I would love to see somebody else write about these ideas with more finesse than I have, so that we could all start talking about this more and stop letting this inevitable push to AI just keep going without pushing back.
Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race
Not to mention, we sold China their surveillance tech which has given them the upper hand in this "race" we never agreed to participate in.
The data collecting capabilities of an authoritarian surveillance state (which we created and sold to China) are allegedly what we will have to accept because it's necessary to win this imaginary race with China...
I know not everybody is a "crazy conspiracy theorist," but does that logic not seem the ~~slightest bit~~ obviously fucked? How much of a "conspiracy" is it really to just acknowledge there are wealthy people in positions of power who don't have our best interest in mind when they talk about making America great and beating China?
US tech companies enabled the surveillance and detention of hundreds of thousands in China
US government allowed and even helped US firms sell tech used for surveillance in China
Detailed findings from AP investigation into how US tech firms enabled China’s digital police state
American tech companies to a large degree designed and built China’s surveillance state, playing a far greater role in enabling human rights abuses than previously known, an Associated Press investigation found. They sold billions of dollars of technology to the Chinese police, government and surveillance companies, despite repeated warnings from the U.S. Congress and in the media that such tools were being used to quash dissent, persecute religious sects and target minorities.
