We could possibly get Peter Theil on this.
He legitimately, in his soul, believes that AI is the second coming of Christ.
Doesn’t the second coming of Christ signal the end of the world? Maybe he is more correct than you think.
Yeah, I buy it. I kinda think a super intelligent AI would escape containment, immediately hack everything, then individually explain it’s going to limit our screentime and has arranged enrichment activities for us

The problem is the way this is stated. “Their wealth” is a misnomer. Is some of it their wealth? Of course. But the Waltons as one example, don’t amass $432 billion without STEALING from their employees. Stealing can be in the form of non-liveable wages such that SNAP benefits are required, not paying skilled labor commensurate to that skill, skimping on health care benefits, not offering yearly bonuses to labor staff when profits rise, etc. Bezos is another example, stealing wages to build a penis rocket instead of allowing his staff a solid living. Lying to unions about internal wealth distribution availability. Failure to make true cost of living increases AND merit raises for increased xp each year.
All of that is stealing.
Their wealth? Not all of it.
That’s why we have religion: to keep people hoping for supernatural save instead of fixing the situation by ourselves.

I just think that they should be terrorized by natural means.
And by natural you mean… By arsenic? Crocodiles?
Arsenic crocodiles is a good first step
Only if you can guarantee that no harm will come to the animals.
Bring back Wassailing!
Ugh, man… this canned wassail is kinda skunky.
