AI billionaires

By Keith Thomas

QUESTION/s DU JOUR

Is AI (Artificial Intelligence) going to be Armageddon for humans? Just ask AI.

Consider GIGO: Garbage in. Garbage out.  That is, AI will have whatever it’s programed to have good or evil.

When did the quest for Artificial Intelligence (AI) begin? What administrations supported it?

Go back to 1956 and Dartmouth College for the beginning of AI research when a guy named John McCarthy coined the term.[1]

Do you think that AI would give honest answers when asked about AI? Well, that depends on which AI from the variety available and how the question is asked. (Ask the same question a slightly different way and get a slightly (or very) different answer.)

For instance, it took me several questions to AI to find out what Presidents have supported AI research. AI first said that Biden and Trump supported such research. I asked several different ways and kept getting the same answer. I already knew that Obama had supported the research. Finally, I had to ask by individual presidents. That got me back to President George W. Bush specifically as supporting AI research as opposed to just broadly supporting scientific research. Frankly I was surprised that Al Gore’s name didn’t pop up. He does now.

Do you think that billionaires have the best interests of the rest of us in mind as they look for ways to replace tens of thousands of workers with AI? Can you remember when you called a help desk and got to speak with an actual person at the first answer? Well, that does depend on how old you are.

As of 2025 these 20 billionaires have increased their wealth by half a trillion dollars by investing/controlling in AI: Colette Kress, Nvidia; Harvey Jones, Nvidia; Lisa Su, AMD; Peter Salanki, CoreWeave; Safra Catz, Oracle; Tench Coxe, Nvidia; Jack Cogen, CoreWeave; Arkady Volozh, Nebius; Brannin McBee, CoreWeave; Brian Venturo, CoreWeave; Michael Intrator, CoreWeave; Henry Samueli, Broadcom; Steve Ballmer, Microsoft; Michael Dell, Dell/ Broadcom; Sergey Brin, Google; Mark Zuckerberg, Meta; Masayoshi Son, SoftBank; Jensen Huang, Nvidia; Larry Page, Google; Larry Ellison, Oracle. [2]

They didn’t make their billions by taking care of others. They aren’t pouring their money back into society to make it better. They are buying yachts, building palatial domiciles and bunkers.

Will they eliminate more jobs than they create? Do they care?

I’m going with yes, and no.

THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.

Algae green is the new flag blue.

I watched a video of a MAGA influencer standing in front of the algae green reflecting pool and talking about how beautiful it was and how bad it had been during the Biden and Obama Presidencies. MAGAts won’t believe their own eyes and are already saying that others have sabotaged the reflecting pool which seems like an admission that the water is indeed green and that the flag blue paint is already starting to fail.

What will they believe about AI?

I’m not into conspiracy theories but they’re real popular with the MAGA crowd. They are constantly spewing them out. It’s like our toddler Trump spending $14 million dollars on a no-bid contract to fix the reflecting pool and making the algae problem worse because he had them paint it blue.

Does Trump accept responsibility? LOL. Of course NOT. With Trump the buck stops everywhere else. It’s Biden’s fault. It’s Obama’s fault. It’s sabotage. It’s the deep state.

MAGA denies reality.

MAGA NIMBYS

Speaking of AI, Data Centers, the deep state and conspiracies, the public just learned that billionaire Peter Theil put together a secret society named Dialog a couple of decades ago.[3] You remember Peter Thiel, don’t you? He’s the guy that doesn’t believe freedom and democracy are compatible.[4] He funded (bought) leaker Vice President JD Vance in case you were wondering who to thank.[5]

Would you be surprised to know that in addition to billionaires, multi-millionaires and CEOs, there are Democrats, media personalities, presidents of universities, actors, senators, etc. that are members of Dialog? Here’s a < link > to names of 113 members.[6] [7] [8] [9] Here are some of the names in no particular order:

However, MAGA are NIMBYS (Not In My Back Yard) when it comes to AI and data centers. Supporters of Trump appear to be taking a different tack since the power and water hungry data centers are going up in rural America. They are driving the cost of electricity up and impacting water supplies that are already scarce in many rural areas. Hence, rural MAGAts are not happy.[10] As usual something has to happen to them (i.e. the leopard eating their face) to wake them up from their racist stupor to realize they just got fucked by Dear Leader Trump.

The problem for communities though is that the data center deals are already done by the time they hear about them and rise up to protest. The backroom contracts have already been cut. The paperwork has already been signed. Frankly, it’s startling how many local governments have clandestinely colluded in screwing over their own citizens in the name of Progress.

It’s like Albania’s Sazan island, which includes protected wetlands, that Jared and Ivanka Kushner and others bought from the Albanian government.[11] They had been hidden behind by a host of shell companies by a company that is in business doing the hiding for rich clients like them.[12] While Albanians were protesting in the streets the contracts were being signed. The negotiations were conducted in secret.[13] Government troops are dealing with protestors.

As of June 20th Albanians have been protesting in the streets for 19 days. One hundred thousand of them were in the streets protesting.[14] They’re now calling for government resignations and throwing the people that did this in jail.

A marina will be built so that the rich will have a place to berth their yachts. The pristine island is already being bulldozed. Sound familiar? The hoi polloi will get to work all the menial jobs needed to serve the wealthy clientele.

The island also comes with all sorts of tunnels already built by the Albanian government so rich fucks won’t even have to build their hideaway bunkers. The Albanians have already paid for them. Billionaires play.

The people pay.

BTW, I refer to my writing style as the weave.

Trump is King of the Lagobillies!


  Lagobillies

 By KeithThomas

5/28/2026

Trump lives like an uneducated poor man’s idea of being rich.

MAR A LAGO HILLBILLIES

Jess Piper recently did a post with the above picture at the top about hillbillies and Trump trashing the White House.[1]  

”Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture.” –Jess Piper

I’ve written before about having hillbilly cousins in the Arkansas Ozarks that we visited in my teen years. They ran ‘shine and float trips.

The ‘shine was fire!

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE MAR A LAGOBILLIES

I can say with complete confidence that what is happening at the White House is indeed white trash culture.

I mean, Jesus Christ, Trump is building an MMA octagon at the White House! How Roman of him. Will Trump get to wear a golden laurel wreath crown as he watches? Will he get to give a thumbs up or down? Will his rich billionaire friends with their puffed-lip trophy wives be there?

Remember the original run of the TV show the “Beverly Hillbillies?”[2] Probably not unless you’re a Boomer. Yes, I’m that old.

It was about a poor family of Ozark hillbillies that struck it rich when oil was discovered on their land. They moved to a mansion in Beverly Hills California. It was a popular show. Buddy Ebsen as the Patriarch. Donna Douglas as bombshell Ellie Mae. Irene Ryan as the irascible Granny. Max Baer Jr. as the dimwitted Jethro. They were good decent downhome people.

The point of the show was their whole fish-out-of-water take on wealth and its trappings. They called the swimming pool that came with their mansion the cement (pronounced see-ment) pond.

They stayed hillbillies, and they never lost their decency.

CEMENT GARDEN

In a twisted complete flip as a nation, we ended up having a real life cross between the immoral characters of Breaking Bad and Mar a Lagobillies. Trump being there in the White House personifies Mar a Lago hillbillies/Lagobillies.

First Trump tore down the entire East Wing of the White House in order to build a giant ballroom, without getting anyone’s approval or having the money appropriated to pay for the now ever-escalating cost. Trump wants his MAGAt stooges in Congress to give him a BILLION DOLLARS. He wants the ballroom so he can put on the dog and have big “fancy” parties to impress whoever it is he feels the need to impress, with taxpayers footing the bill.

Trump has had his cement pond (The Reflecting Pool) drained and painted blue because apparently it didn’t look sufficiently like his idea of a pool. So far, the no bid contractor he hired has been 7 times more expensive, making inflated profit, is fucking up the work, and will need more money to finish![3] [4]


Trump has no class to go with his wealth. He doesn’t understand beauty. That’s why he paved over the rose garden. For Trump it’s the concrete that has value--not roses or history. Anything beautiful is a distraction from him. Unless it’s a naked woman like trophy wife Melania that he’s showing off to the public with “artistic” naked pics taken of her on his personal jet.

SILVER SPOON

Unlike the Beverly Hillbillies, Trump struck it rich by being born to Fred and Mary Trump.[5]

Daddy Fred made little Donald Trump a millionaire by age 8.[6] The same racist profiteer daddy that gifted him the family business of avoiding taxes. Not exactly the picture of a self-made man Trump would like people to think but rather a man-child born with a silver spoon in his mouth who was handed life on a platter and had to be bailed out regularly by his rich daddy. It’s a riches to riches story.

Trump’s idea of governing is that any person or entity that interacts with him should give him personally something valuable (transactional) whether it’s praise, money, or something shiny like a medal or a plane. In Trumplandia, Trump comes first. Trump never took the silver spoon of entitlement out of his mouth and has made this once thriving democracy into his personal, debauched playground.

Trump’s idea of good taste is gaudy, goldleaf, marble columns, lots of granite, and chandeliers. AND he wants tax dollars to pay for it.

Trump doesn’t discriminate when it comes to taking money.

He grifts rich and poor alike.

When President Trump dies.

 

When President Trump dies.

Free Beer Day

By Keith Thomas

5/9/2026

ENEMIES OF THE STATE

We haven’t seen a President with an enemies list since Nixon.[1] Trump makes that evil bastard who resigned in disgrace look like an amateur, though.

As of November 2025, not counting all the Federal employees that Trump has fired, and foreigners, Trump has designated 470 people, organizations, institutions, universities, media outlets, Democrats, corporations, law firms and ordinary citizens needing retribution.[2] (BTW the Reuters article cited is excellent.) The above is not a complete list.

It’s safe to say that Minocqua Brewing Co. and Kirk Bangstad are now on the hit list.

How about you? Do you dislike Trump? Have you said that out loud?

You might be on the enemies list?

FREE BEER DAY IS COMING

In the beginning.

Okay, it all started not so innocently when Kirk Bangstad, owner of Minocqua Brewing Co., said that the day Trump dies he would serve free beer at his taproom, located at 329 Front Street, Minocqua WI 54548. (The company website is < here > if you want to visit. https://www.minocquabrewingcompany.com/ )

That didn’t go over well in the conservative town. Not well at all.

Kirk Bangstad got visited by the FBI and Secret Service to answer some questions about him never saying that he wanted to kill President Trump. He just wants to celebrate Trump’s death in a positive fashion. Being a brewer, he thought offering free beer was the way to go. After all, patriotic Americans celebrated when the fascist Hitler died. Some people even drank heavily.

Here’s what Bangstad said in his now deleted post.

“Well, we almost got #freebeerday. Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We’ll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.”

The People’s Republic of Minocqua, Wisconsin was NOT happy. Bangstad was immediately getting death threats from MAGA. Nothing new for him.

Now he’s running for Governor.

THE TROUBLE WITH ALGO (RITHM) AI

Is Algo Al keeping tabs on you?

Now, before I go any further with this there are some things people need to know. The government, especially the current DOJ, FBI, and Secret Service use AI and algorithms to search for words, phrases, and combinations of such, along with all sorts of other complicated criteria to look for enemies of the state.

The “state” being one President Donald J. Trump.

“Enemies” being anyone King/Fuhrer Trump designates.

So, people need to avoid using certain kinds of language, words and/or phrases or combinations of words.

Some examples:

“Kill,” “shoot,” “bomb,” “hurt,” “burn,” “execute,” “assassinate,” “pipe bomb,” “AR 15,” “VE,” “IED,” “detonate,” “explosive,” “chemical,” “gas,” “silencer,” etc. These words with combined with phrases like “I will …,” We will …,” etc.

Calling people “my fellow terrorists” especially in reference to calling for a meeting at a certain time will likely get you a visit from the Feds. I’m not sure where the sentence, “I’m going to verbally shoot up and burn the place to a cinder with my words—we’ll meet at dawn and ride” would fall in all of this so just avoid sentences like that if at all possible.

For God’s sake don’t say something like Karoline Leavitt said before the Correspondents dinner about shots will be fired. Shots were indeed fired.

Saying things like “Death to all MAGA” or “Assassinate all MAGA terrorist fascists” will get you a visit. So, don’t say those things. Don’t use those word combinations. Don’t consider or even think about doing those kinds of things!

Don’t talk about committing violent acts against people or share words that say those things like MAGA, and the President of the United States have done for years! Don’t do as Trump or MAGA does.

A couple of examples from the thousands available:

“Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” –DJT [3](He was talking about Democrats.)

“And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.” –DJT, 1/6/2021[4] (Words that Trump offered to his obedient MAGAts who then stormed Congress.)

Joe Biden shouldn't just be impeached, he should be handcuffed and hauled out of the White House for his crimes. –DJT [5] (Hm, I thought Presidents had complete immunity.)

"We will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store. Shot!" –DJT[6]

Trump also said, “There must be retribution for theft, and destruction, and the ruination of our country.” (Oh myyy! President heal thyself!)

Sentences like these can get common folk in trouble.

Don’t talk about getting violent revenge against his regime, persons, places or things. Don’t talk about blowing shit up especially very specific shit at a certain specific time with other people or by yourself.  Don’t mention specific chemical or biological shit either.

I’m not sure how Algo Al classifies all the “Call of Duty” gamers.

There’s an entire well-sourced Wikipedia page dedicated to the rhetoric of Donald Trump so I’m not going to continue on with this crap.[7] Trump’s just an evil son-of-a-bitch.

MAGAts love being like him.
