Sam Altman and other tech billionaires are building bunkers for... reasons. What does one even do in a post-apocalyptic billionaire bunker?? They won't have their #AI data centers and GPUs to churn out endless AI slop content to consume. Friends reruns?

Tech billionaires have a new Christmas gift: post-apocalyptic underground bunkers. Zuckerberg's got 5,000 sq ft with blast doors in Hawaii. Because nothing says Happy Holidays like a family bunker... assuming you're actually taking the family with you.

The #AI "revolution" has WILD energy demands. 67 gigawatts needed by 2030 means building nuclear plants at impossible speed. Zuck "Just kidding about that $70B on the #Metaverse" is gonna handle that project? Sam "Just kidding about #Sora" Altman? Good luck.

It would be funny if it weren't infuriating: the absurdity of the richest men preparing for societal collapse with secret bunkers. Peter Thiel even has a private farm. At what point is someone just too rich? Billionaires. Bunkers. Battlestar Galactica.

So the plan is? #AI will make everything cheaper and better, but us lowly humans lose our job. Then who buys the products?? It's a massive blind spot (or they're just that stupid) in Silicon Valley's AI vision that will crash the whole system #openai #sora #nvidia

Silicon Valley's ridiculous nonsense vision: #AI creates everything, humans have no jobs, mysterious post-money economy emerges, ??, profit. Cool story, but how do I buy groceries? These alleged leaders have no answers. Make it make sense. #a16z #openai

Is Sam Altman forming a cult? Some compare #AI to #Dune - the mythology and the rhetoric. But #Apple and Steve Jobs might be the better comparison. How they get people to queue around the block for the latest marginally better(?) iPhone upgrade feels apt. #openai

The current batch of #Hollywood tech-bro executives are soulless monsters destroying art for profit. At least the 1950s studio heads understood cinema, even if they were also monsters. #AI art isn't art; it's the death of creativity.

Whether it's #Hollywood's lack of vision and insistence on churning through the same old IP for the hundredth time or the idea that #AI movies will replace everything, we need to change direction. Fund the next Sinners! Make something new! FFS.

There's been a 40-year project to convince Americans that everyone's corrupt so actual corruption doesn't matter. But we don't have to live this way. Real change requires primarying the collaborators and finding new leaders who inspire action.

We've poured a trillion into inefficient #AI systems and refuse to pivot to better approaches. China's building low-energy models while we demand entire countries worth of power. Bad decision after bad decision. Why are these billionaires in charge, again?

From the CEO of an #Agentic #AI company telling you that agentic AI is the inevitable future to the cult of personality that Sam Altman has built up around himself like some Dollar Store Timothee Chalamet Dune dictator wannabe, we've got reactions.

These #AI companies have rigged the system: your 401k depends on their stock success, so when they need government bailouts, you have to support it or lose your retirement. Pure manipulation of working people's financial security.

The success of #AI will be bad for the middle class & white-collar workers, but the failure of AI will ruin the global economy, so...damned either way? Fun times. We try to learn some lessons from the Industrial Revolution to guide us through it. No really.

We could reach a universal basic income #UBI #Utopia without all the AI nonsense. Not that the current #AI nonsense is actually trying to get us there either. In fact, it's scientifically proven to make you dumber. #ChatGPT rots your brain. Don't rot your brain!

These #AI video models (RIP #Sora) can give us 1920s Noir Star Wars, but never NEW ideas. It's designed to regurgitate, not create. And replacing 40 creative people with one AI? That's bad for society and our culture. Stop it.

On #AI in filmmaking: capitalists won't fund the next visionary director - they'll just have computers make repetitive content. Andrew disagrees, he hopes it opens more doors for more people. K2 says this isn't how art is made.

When investors only care about next quarter's returns, they don't think about the damage they're doing 5-10 years out to their industries. By then they've exited and moved on to destroy the next industry. This time it's #AI screwing workers.

Andrew says he hasn't seen a movie that shocked him since the Matrix. In 1999. But there's no reason to inflict his lack of awe on the rest of us, we've seen plenty of great art since then and don't need regurgitated #AI slop to keep us going to the movies. #sora

At 23, I read a JavaScript book and expected to get it the next day. Spoiler: I didn't. The biggest lesson? Patience. Enterprise strategies take years, not days. What I wish I knew then. #engineering #productmanagement #software #ai
Why do people vote for policies that don't benefit them financially? The American mindset of "I'll be rich someday" and "It's good for my team if not for me" shapes politics more than current reality and economic self-interest. Welcome to the K-Shaped Economy.

Hot take: When algorithms push #AI-generated slop on consumers who aren't actively choosing, the market fails. We're sleepwalking into a world where #Spotify wins and creativity dies. Time to wake up and fight back.

We got heated about #AI actors and tech bros turning art into commerce. When your solution is making multiple versions of Star Wars for different ages, you've lost the plot. This isn't innovation - it's the death of creativity and art, driven by pure greed.

Capitalism's greatest trick was convincing you you'd be a billionaire. You won't be. The dream used to be about your kids having it better. Reagan turned it into 'screw the poor, you could be rich too.'

Hollywood's first #AI "actress" being an 18-year-old girl reveals everything wrong with this technology. The consent implications are horrifying. It's bad in general for actors of all genders and ages, but it's obvious why this is the path they went down first.
