I'm surprised there isn't more of this going on. Imagine if all of these folks suddenly experienced similar visits bearing similar flaming gifts, all in the space of a day or so.
It's ramping up, and it's starting to come apart. If they don't pivot from Trickle Down Economics to Trickle Up Economics, we're going to spontaneously pivot to a Robin Hood Economy, and that often comes accompanied by revolution, guns, and guillotines. The Sociopathic Oligarchs won't like that one bit.
Fine, let them hide in their underground bunkers. We'll just seal off the air vents, and pump liquid nitrogen in there until we don't detect any sound. Then just leave them there in their unmarked tombs, forever.
Billonaires think the world is ending and scamper to a bunker.
Twist is that the world isn't ending, people fucked over by billionaires decided to stage a fake apocalypse and use AI to impersonate them and steal all their money.
And no one cares about the wealthy outside of immediate family, so no one asks questions.
I think it wasn't just stealing the money, but immediately using it to actually help people.

AND a dead CEO.

It is a shame that he didn't happen to be at the gate of his obnoxiously large house.
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn.

I'd love to see his legal defense be:
Cuz like...
Realistically throwing a moltov at a (presumably) metal gate isn't the same as attempted murder.
If I was on a jury, that'd be enough for me to say "not guilty" at least.

I wonder if he'd written a death threat in chalk on the ground, if that would be a greater or lesser crime?
What about "burn, baby, burn!"? Would that count as equal death threat to "Imma murderize you!"?

In other news, USA is killing kids. But Sam is more interesting news! Who cares about Sam?

Exactly. Do it properly the first time, please.
But don’t burn down houses. It’s bad for the environment and there might be innocent animals inside. Torch the tech bros.

We don't even need to do anything once they hide. Just let them stay down there with their limited supplies.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 161d
Nah, then they can emerge when things are safe, and start fucking things up again.

Netflix had an amazing show about that, but cancelled it like a week after season 1 premiered.

Tldw:

If this was Reddit this entire thread would be nuked. So refreshing!

Aaron Swartz, among others, thought Altman was an untrustworthy sociopath. There's a long article in the New Yorker about this. I didn't read it, but Gruber did: https://daringfireball.net/2026/04/when_he_is_alive_and_not_after_he_is_dead
