Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.

The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.

@0xabad1dea people like him are never going to use their wealth for good, so burning it on these madcap schemes is probably as good as it gets. Maybe next is metaverse AI, but… (wait for it) but the datacenters are in outer SPACE!!

@0xtero @0xabad1dea is this how trickle down economics works?

@0xtero @0xabad1dea huh. That would help with the heat exhaust, but needs good shielding for the memory and stuff.
Something something grey goo scenario, something something they should just get therapy.

Doesn’t help at all for the heat exhaust, it’s very difficult to cool things in space! Wildly counterintuitive for atmosphere based beings but true.

@0xtero @0xabad1dea nah, as good as it gets would be a wealth tax so we can take the money and use it to improve society somewhat

@aburka I agree, but seeing who Americans vote into office, changing the system so taxing billionaire wealth becomes useful is about as realistic as datacenters in outer space.
