  • Billionaires don’t want to solve problems. They want to make money and improve their image. When the opportunity to be horrible people presents itself, they will always show their true face.

  • I don't think they're mature. I think they're just monopolized to the point where they don't need to innovate at all. And I don't see this as a net positive because these companies are so gigantic that they will drive down salaries and benefits for the rest of the middle sized and smaller sized companies. The other problem is that any company that gets this big now has the purchasing power to eliminate competition further cornering the talent pool and the tech market. These guys are the new oil barons of our time and their oil is our data. Not sure how to see this as anything but negative.

  • One person with no power vs one person with all the power.

  • Yes. I try to buy local.

  • We participate in it with stock purchases. We voted for politicians that have systematically broken down American society this way.

  • It’s pretty clear that billionaire owners of publicly traded companies will do whatever is needed to continue the “number goes up” philosophy of American capitalism. It’s the rot that underlies the whole economy. This isn’t to excuse Zuckerberg but this is America as a whole. The need to increase profits takes priority over bucking fascism, pulling back on vitriolic public discourse, stuffing hyped AI products into every crevice of tech, and pursuing monopolistic business practices. It’s all baked in. And it makes everything worse. No one is attempting to address which is why America is absolutely doomed to collapse. No one is willing to even have the conversation about corporate control/influence of government as well as the philosophy of delivering shareholder value.

  • No fucking way.

  • Maury determined that this was a lie.

  • They know how to fight dirty. It’s just only directed at their left flank.

  • They're going to go after poor and middle class people.

  • As opposed to… what?

  • I want US hegemony to evaporate. That is really the only way we come out of this. It gave the US decades of influence militarily and financially around the world. We showed everyone how hypocritical we are as a country. How little we actually do to improve the world despite constantly preaching that we do.

  • For sure. But I don’t understand why I’m getting downvoted.

  • Enabled by democrats. Who sat back and finger wagged the whole time.

  • All of it is. Or pushing copilot into all Microsoft products like anyone is using this shit.

  • They'll primary AOC before they "Street fight" republican fascism. And the fact that they're still making this about Trump and not the Republican party as a whole is extremely telling.

  • Suck my balls. They're not going to do shit. They've learned absolutely nothing.

  • This is the danger of Ai that Elon Musk and Sam Altman warned us about.
