“Significant productivity in the economy is going to raise the standard of living,” he said. “People who today have two-earner households, they’ll become one-earner households. Maybe some people who are working overtime will stop working overtime.”

I fucking love it when the exact people who make it their life's mission not to pay their employees living wages so that they can hoard wealth like an evil dragon come out and tell us that the new tech they are using to replace us will make us rich. Really fucking Jeff? How about we eat you and take it? That's the only way I see it happening.

It'd be quite fitting for Bezos to be chained to a rock and for an eagle to eat his liver every day, which grows back every night, forever.

That 12 billion could have gone to health care, helping the homeless, improving schools, for research into diseases, into renewable energy sources or into making affordable houses.

But this is what we get.

Pay your taxes, parasite

"You're absolutely right, I should not have built that bridge that way"

$12 billion would pay for a lot of engineers...

Inb4 all staircases look like this

One of the most evil people in the whole world.

Wages for workers are the biggest line item for most companies. Owners hates it because that money is theirs, by golly. The concept of being part of an economy never enters their stream of consciousness, only the desire to optimize sucking money out of it.

They better start putting fucking labels on AI engineered buildings and bridges because I sure as fuck am not getting inside or on one.

They could just make an artificial general CEO and get rid of his payments altogether, stock holders would get a huge rise

Not saying someone should but..... I would not be sad.

All that money, and he does nothing of value for society. At least the OG evil rich guys of the 1900s did charitable things sometimes.

At the end of the day I trust a pick and a shovel way more than this once-removed bullshit.

You can hire metric tons of human engineers for that.

They are so shocked that no one likes their fucking AI or their data centers. Yet the same people go around selling every investor on AI replacing workers. The same people go out of their way to cut every social safety net so they can get tax breaks to make themselves more obscenely rich. The same people raise prices, drive down wages, cut benefits, lay off people, and bust unions every chance they get to juice stock prices.

Gee golly, why don’t people trust us that we are making a better world? 🤦‍♂️

There are so many more worthwhile startup projects you can pour $12B into.

Ah, but can it blow up like a mushroom cloud?

But i like my job
