minus-squareartyom@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40·19 days ago Pretty interesting how he’s fully accepted that there will be “a wealth tax” as a result of a backlash against AI I wish I were as confident as he is…

minus-squareEnsignWashout@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·18 days agoIt’s also a thinly veiled attempt to land at tax other than 100%, and overseen by courts that we suspect he has influence over. I like the confidence. I imagine things could still go that well for him. Everyone should get a chance to dream of nice things. For someone who has taken so much from the rest of us, a mere tax could be a pretty nice outcome.
