100% The man just loves “big” ideas that sound good on paper to investors, but don’t actually add anything. Idk what the answer to bots is, but this ain’t it, chief.

He’s delusional if he thinks this will combat bots.

Why not both? Because you’re absolutely right that he got fucked on a bad gamble and then tried to save face, but I can also easily see him trying to buy stuff just to stick it to the left. (But in all reality again you’re probably pretty solely right lol)

Oh for sure. Extreme statements like that always ring as “They’re not how I want them to be so I’m going to call them radical”.

Daughter turning into something I don’t like? Buy out the thing she uses to try and regulate her. Very normal and healthy behavior

Would love the AI society that artists and authors started to imagine (in an admittedly idyllic fashion) a world where technology and AI meant that people could invest more time in personal projects, socializing, and relaxation instead of working all the time. All it will really do under our current system is leave a bunch of people who’ve been replaced with no real way to stay afloat. We’re replacing the workers, but not their support system

Gotcha gotcha. Thanks for the extra info!
