Tech billionaires trying to solve the world's problems is a bit like a cancer trying to save its host from organ failure
they are not trying to solve anything really, they just think they are the next best thing earth has ever seen so they have the right to do everything
I'm working with a douchebag billionaire directly right now on a complex project related to the ransomware encryption of a healthcare provider. Because he's part of the private equity firm and a billionaire, he thinks he knows how to drive the resolution better than I and my team of techs do.
All he does is drag me into more meetings and force me to get my techs to do shit that's not conducive to restoring their systems.
He's a giant waste of self aggrandized trash.
Why don't you tell him (using nicer words)?
I have. He knows better. /s
Oof. I'm gonna use that. 👏
Well, Altman isn’t even a billionaire…
You're playing checkers, not chess.
I’m not 100% sure what you mean by that, but I’m trying to say that, if Altman is a problem due to his wealth, then the bar to becoming a problem is substantially lower than a billion dollars.
That poster is not implying he’s a tech billionaire, he’s saying tech billionaires are jerking themselves off to throw money at AI because it’s good for business.
Fair enough, that wasn’t clear to me.
