The question is: can a wealthy philantropist do more good than a wealthy psychopath can do harm? Buying cars is not really bad per se, it just shows they don’t care for anything but themselves. Spending money on research to solve global warming on the other hand…
Edit: I’m just playing devils advocat. I know it is no solution to all our problems and I hate cumulation of wealth in the hands of a few. But thats the world we live in and I just try to find a silver lining.
I believe it’s peer pressure once you have that kind of money. They are so far from reality they just don’t think about it. All their cocaine-buddies ramble about how they “deserve it” to throw money out of the window, they worked so hard yadda-yadda.
It’s bonkers. But I also never had that kind of money. Maybe we would all do the same thing?
Should have asked the Swiss, they probably know how to drill holes in rocks. Don’t need a startup for that…

It’s 2024 and we still have news about these “security problems”?
That Zhang guy can only hope not to go to jail anytime soon. Every prisoner who knew about that password wants to have “the talk” with him. Snitches get stitches…
How can we control a kindergartener with unlimited money and ressources just to, you know, make sure they don’t destroy everything around them? Like little kids do?
That is my biggest fear for our future. It’s not a grumpy AI-engineer or evil dictator who wants to destroy humanity. It’s a handful of people with unlimited ressources who can decide if we go forward or not. And total power corrupts, that’s just a fact.
