AI billionaires

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.
