Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, the billionaire tech investor said the Vatican’s concerns could discourage America in the AI arms race, warned of a democratic-socialist takeover and explained why he named Palantir after JRR Tolkien’s treacherous seeing stones.

    Without money, this asshole would be forced to stand out on the street with a sign and have people ignore him. Or, I guess, more recently, to be that Crazy Uncle Liberty guy that loves to share stupid Facebook memes.

    Also, the notion that the Chinese are “Communists” - LOL.

      There really isn’t a difference between these trust fund assholes and a crazy person shouting on the streets.

      I mean, think about it for a moment. The vast majority of us had no silver spoon nor safety net. We had to choose lives and careers that were attuned with our interest, ability level, and how oppressive our lives were.

      The wealthy shitstains in the United States largely never worked for anything. They don’t manage anything particularly well. And these tech bro assholes don’t even really understand the tech that people with real skills are making.

      We have to start taxing these fuckers appropriately or they are going to gut everything because of their sad delusions.
