Deki posted:You know, those coworkers who still have to work for a living, because he Zuckerberged them on the multi-billion dollar minecraft sale. Yeah, no poo poo they're going to be mad when you're not even willing to part with 10% of your dragon hoard to split with the people who actually did the work on the game the previous few years... I just don't understand what drives a person to do this. You can't realistically spent $1 billion in your lifetime, let alone several. Why not raise the people who helped you up with you, especially if you want to remain on friendly terms with them? Why gently caress them over for an amount of cash that ultimately means nothing to you, because all it will do is sit in various accounts and accrue more interest than you can ever spend. But maybe that's one of the many reasons I'm not rich. A few years ago, I had a (not particularly close) friend approach me for a business opportunity in which he will front the upstart cash, and I would write pretty much all the software. The idea was terrible (basically LinkedIn, but an app) but I humored him up until he explained the proposed profit split. He would own 95% of the company because he is the one putting up the cash. I get 5% because all I'm really doing is coding. At least he was honest about intending to gently caress me over, I guess. The Bible fucked around with this message at 05:06 on May 31, 2023 |

The Bible posted:I just don't understand what drives a person to do this. The more I see with Elon and his ilk, the more I'm glad I'm not rich. There's miles of difference between being happy & normal and fulfilled and just hoarding all of this cash to the point where you can't even be a human being anymore. I'm not a wealthy man, but I have people who love me and care about me and that's miles above these people.

Data Graham posted:The more of these things I see, where people are talking earnestly about "piercing the veil" and "accurate summaries" and "low level of reasoning" and so on, the more I wonder whether I've made some sort of terrible error in judgment and I've missed something all these people see as self-evidently as we see the things we see Anybody who refers to "the masses" is a person so far up their own rear end they're not worth worrying about. Bonus points for the Steve Jobs profile pic.

Like, let's say a mere $50 million, with the bonus being that all these people who threw in with your startup are also being set for life. Hell, you're still friends with them, and together, maybe you can all accomplish even more together if you wish? Or just retire if you don't? I mean, okay, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan won't think I'm cool. Oh no, but I'll find a way to deal with that, I'm sure.

The Bible posted:Can't you have both, though? Even if it was just because Microsoft gave stock to employees as a perk, it makes Bill Gates seem far more human than guys like Zuck, Musk, or Notch because pretty much everyone who came up with him in the early days of Microsoft became fabulously rich, and by all accounts Bill thought that kicked rear end.

Musk is neuro-divergent. Why do so many try to turn him into a bad guy. His mind is like a network of energy flow and design. His engineering capabilities are otherworldly and he has immense teams of individuals who are highly qualified and motivated to carry out his projects.

Neurodivergent people can also be tremendous idiot Nazi assholes. Non Compos Mentis posted:https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1663599965698916371 I do wonder, legally, what she can do. While parody is one thing, this seems to be outright impersonation and I’d think Twitter would kibosh this poo poo lest it happens to a politician in their pocket. Now, what I think and what Elon thinks, if you can call it that, are quite possibly lightyears apart.

Imagine having enough money to hire world-class posters to run your social media, and whip your army of rabid moron fans into a frenzy and dunk on Bezos and Biden and all your other posting enemies. And then letting the world know that you're much, much stupider than almost anyone, because you can't stop dribbling amphetamine fueled Nazi brain diarrhea into your phone.

I loving despise Bill Maher, just pure condensed smug dumbfuck boomer incarnate, and have no idea how that loving piece of poo poo still has an audience. Like who the gently caress watches him, and frankly why? He's just older Michael Tracey in every way. Pointlessly contrarian in every way. His takes on vaccines and "homeopathic medicine" made even Alec Baldwin openly call out his hypocrisy for getting vaccines on his show.

Remember how rapidly and fundamentally it seemed like the world was changing back when the Internet was first taking off? When we could chat with people all around the world, or we could blog and get big audiences for writing dumb jokes, or we could build websites for nothing? Computers were getting twice as fast every year and there was always something incredible and new right around the corner. You could set your watch by the release dates of the next generation CPU or iPod or game. Wikipedia etc meant all human knowledge was at our fingertips and "not knowing something" was a thing of the past. It felt like something new was dawning and we were all part of it Apparently these AI dweebs are desperately hoping to be involved in some kind of transformative event the way they feel like they missed out on being involved in the heady days of the growth of the Internet. They might deep down be skeptical that this wave of AI is actually going to turn out to be anything more interesting than the funny predictive text Seinfeld episode generators of yesteryear, but hey, better be all-in just in case it does turn out to be the Singularity or whatever after all, right? Better latch on to Elon and stack all your chips on him so people tomorrow at least think you tried and were cool, and weren't some sort of old grumpy naysayer. Ride or die FOMO is a fucker

I forgot where it was posted but it's been heavily implied that maher has no voluntary live audience. Other shows like the late night stuff, Trevor noah and so on will get people on an audition to get into the audience. but maher requires his team posting on sites like Craigslist offering money to join a "political talk show" without naming him in order for people to attend
