        Sadly the inescapable physical truth of convex vs concave lensing still relentlessly holds its tenacious grip on reality, despite the billions of dollars these folks have accumulated they have still, thus far, been unable to alter that particular aspect of reality.

        The only solution I can offer for Jeff Bezos is to begin forming his skull inwards somewhat so that any captured light can reach a proper focusing point. As as astronomer with some experience with such reflective optical surfaces, I’d be happy to begin the grinding and polishing process for you at any time, I’ll just need you to hold him still while I work. It’s a very precise process.

        I assume his head is mostly thick skull surrounding empty space anyway, so I think there should be little harm done.

          just make the light source more concave than his head is convex!

      That’s what the oligarchs want…

      He has your money, and if you want it now vote JG Wentworth 2028.

      Because unless we take our money back, they’re just gonna fucking keep it.

      Edit:

      Because people might not know that commercial:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX0fIi3H-es

      Point being that’s the only thing we should say to oligarchs, if we say nothing they win

      So every time you see a billionaire, say “bitch, where’s my money”.

      Don’t let them talk about anything besides they have our money.

        IMO capital punishment is only violence if it’s done to the working class. If a judge and jury, after due process, sentences a billionaire to death that is justice.

    Strange how a man who stands to make billions more from this, thinks all those opposed to it are wrong.

    Guessing it’s due to his vast and deep knowledge of the subject, after long and careful scientific and sociologic research.

        Exactly. Average asshole gets a billion, they get a financial advisor, let their money turn into generational wealth with investments, and donate to charity while living in a big mansion.

          Hell, that will happen at tens of millions. The magnitude of a billion is crazy.

          Even if they are more driven to keep going, others turn to more philanthropic pursuits. Well before a billion the number becomes more like a high score rather than giving any quality of life improvements, so what’s the point of getting more? Most will want to mean more to the world than just some high score. So accumulated wealth starts getting directed away for all but sociopaths that relish the high score in and of itself.

      Even small children and animals learn very quickly that empty threats are far more cringey than scary and begin ignoring them almost immediately. These are grown people who’ve lived their whole lives without consequences and you think they give a shit?

      Exactly. They have so much money they could fuck off somewhere and live the rest of their lives and their families in sumptous luxury without even having made a dent in their fortune. Yet they continue to stick around and work hard at ruining everything for the rest of us, just so that they can add extra billions to their billions.

        Fair enough.

        Personally I think culling the entire Epstein class and dragging their corpses until every major cities’ municipal boundary can be seen from space would send a more effective message.

        Dip them in liquid nitrogen and christen their yachts before we scuttle them.

        Hang them by their feet from a crane and see how many it takes to demolish a data center.

          Billionaires became billionaires by ruining the life of dozens of thousands of people each. They should have plenty of time to regret that before their end, that’s my take

            I personally don’t think anyone with the capacity to become a billionaire still has a conscience with which to regret or introspect.

            Meanwhile based on my reading of history, exiling/imprisoning oligarchs works in their favour in the long run.

    I am starting to downvote these posts. I know what an asshole like Bezos would say if asked, then a good-for-nothing tech press guy asks AND you give him a platform on Lemmy.

    There is no valuable analysis or any collateral reporting that makes this other than self-inflicted propaganda.

      I agree with your sentiment but I like these posts for a strategic reason: Bezos intends for his statements to bolster support, but his strategy is falling flat. Support for AI is either level or declining, and anger over its harm is growing. Bezos reveals the extent to which he is out-of-touch. I think his statements actually inflame opposition to AI: his propaganda is motivating his opponents while leaving his supporters indifferent. When I upvote Bezos quotes, I am thinking to myself, ‘hey everybody, get a load of this asshole!’ I am definitely not upvoting him because I think his claims have merit or that they will convert people to support AI.
