I wouldnt be surprised if its on a scheduled timer to go off 1 second after the deadline, and some years later we find out that timer creation was logged and it was made the day after he was admitted to the hospital.

Right, because if I self checkout my $200 grocery bill, that worker definitely would have made $20 in that few minute interaction.

I like the idea, but that's a terrible implementation. The cost of the bill has no relation to the money saved by using the machine and firing a worker. A flat amount no more than a % of the bill is tiny would be better. Like $1-3 but no more than 5% of bill.

Anything that would do meaningful damage to a camera sensor will easily to that to human eyeballs if it refracts or gets reflected.

I don't think that's true? The lidars on Waymo have been known to damage camera sensors but are safe to the eyes. By damage, like a pixel or two go out, but that's from a random hit. If you did it right you could do more damage.

He cant solve world hunger, money isnt the problem, and liquidating the stocks to do that would wipe out the value of what his stocks are worth leaving not enough money anyway.

Its an incredibly complex problem.

He could likely do something about it in specific isolated western countries though.

Even socialism would still use eminent domain to take property, but itd likely be for something a bit better than that. Probably a highway, train, or building that is more for the public good (e.g airport, power plant, hospital)

Sometimes shit is just in the way and a government needs a way to be able to work around it.

I imagine the compensation would be more fair as well.
