ooli3Greatest innovation of our lifetime
Hey that’s not exactly fair. They are also emitting all of the CO2 AND making this the fascism timeline!
Jo MiranI don’t think they called it. I think these techbros don’t have any ideas of their own so they’re just taking the worst ideas authors could come up with and calling it their own. None of their companieshave actually made anything new. They just throw a shiny coat of paint on what science fiction has warned us about

“No I did not finish the book, or learn of the consequences of the torment nexus. It just sounded neat”

SabataGod they nailed it. Dystopian architecture crumbling for everyone else while billionaire CEOs live in giant mansions and party on yachts. While the working class is bombarded by sex and gambling ads.
Truly this is fucking hell.

TrackinDaKrakenThey’re also throwing money at longevity research, which, in the unlikely event it pays off in their lifetime, they’ll surely keep to themselves and dole out to those they deem worthy and for favors.
Their innovation is that they have stolen all our data, yes… But to fail to notice that they’ve used it to leverage influence and political favours to make themselves the most wealthy and powerful people on earth is blind.
yardratianSomaall billionares are a policy failure. they are not superheroes, benevolent gods that are here to help humanity, save that shit for the movies.
The only people I can forgive for becoming billionaires are people who inherit or win a big lottery prize.
But in both cases, if they remain billionaires, they’re immoral and have no place in society.
LillyPipCaptialism doesn’t exist outside of the law. Yes, rules are easy to break, so to are fines easy to pay when they are mere slaps on the wrist to corporate giants, and yes sociopaths are rewarded. But that does not make sociopaths the logical outcome. I say, excess creates the conditions for making amoral behaviour normal. Take away the excess, put a cap on how much one company can take home as profit, reward merits and hard work, but don’t let wealth be hoarded to absurd levels, like NVIDIA becoming the worlds first $5 Trillion company.
I’ll admit I’m pretty stupid, this is just my belief. I used to think capitalism was the problem, but really, humans are fallible, prone to vices, and maybe not able organize grand social order, imo.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 It’e actually been so they can control the world. They just told you it was for ads and you fell for it.
Just think about all the good a really dedicated billionaire could do. Of course nearly all of them have “charities”, but most of them are tax doges or just a really small fraction of their wealth goes into them or they are just there to paint them in a favorite light.
One of their favorite “cheats” is the following: donate all your wealth to a charity you created and have 100% control of. Charity is tax exempt and you simply control the wealth of the charity instead of your own - still doing everything you did before, but now without taxes and you can claim that you are a GREAT philanthropist.
You might have some duties as a charitable organization, but since you can choose where the charity is located that is probably not a problem.
Illegal cabs, illegal hotels, exploitative delivery services ! Great innovations definitely
The advertisement based economy is incredibly flawed and it irks me daily that this is our timeline.
They also made a digital corporate yes-man
CantaloupeThat and making our products break so we have to buy new ones, and making it illegal to unbreak them.
The invention isn’t yo sell ads, it’s to offer a service to manipulate the mass. Making them buy things is just to extract a bit of money, making them vote a certain way, making them want to look a certain way, donate a certain way, hate a certain people, defend a certain way of life. All that is really what’s making them rich with their innovation.
This sounds like whoever drives them to do this is interested in more than just money, so what is their motivation? If it were that simple, could we just infiltrate and replace this secret cabal, who would then drive the billionaires to do good?
so what is their motivation?
Power. Power over others, over everyone. Power to control the human world and twist it however they wish in the moment. Money is just a way to keep score, and a tool to manipulate the more menial lackies.
could we just infiltrate and replace this secret cabal, who would then drive the billionaires to do good?
No, because any attempt to do so would both be very obvious to others in the “cabal” and necessarily less ruthless, meaning it would soon be quashed. I put “cabal” in quotes because they are not some unified secret society, but a collection of individuals with the necessary monomaniacal drive for power and willingness to sacrifice everything to get it, all of whom are trying to manouver to stab the others in the back. That they occasionally seem to work together to keep those outside the group down is an artefact of them all trying to achieve the same thing in the same way, and using each other to get it, rather than genuine cooperation.
To be fair, they’re not geniuses, they’re sociopaths, often with a hearty sprinkling of nepotism.
So of course they’re hoarding resources and pillaging. They don’t think the rest of us are actual people, and we only exist to be exploited.
They’re actually stupid. Being born into that amount of wealth means one never actually deals with any material consequences and therefore never actually learns any lesson ‘the hard way’.

Quirky QuinnAt least we have ad blockers…
I rarely ever see ads. Adblock is wonderful. Zero sympathy.
