    Guy I work with thinks it’s a a very short matter of time before kamikaze drone swarms take out some boardrooms - I think that kind of worry is behind all their secrecy about tracking these folks’ locations

      These techno feudalist freaks don’t realize that when you set up an extrajudicial mafia infrastructure, it’s only a matter of time before one of your capos slit your throat and take your place.

      I totally agree. It’s the type of attack virtually anyone can pull off solo with just a couple thousand dollars. You don’t even need a lot of engineering skills, battle-ready quadcopters are available off the shelf. The only thing that would be difficult is the payload, and there are plenty of people capable of making a pipe bomb.

      Everyone should watch the short film Slaughterbots, I think it does a good job of explaining. https://youtu.be/HipTO_7mUOw

      i’v honestly been considering it, not boardrooms (too much collateral damage) but park a kamikaze drone or 2 at each vacation home of these billionaires and just wait for the cunts to show up.

      taking out murdoch’s 1st son (his daughters want to sell the propaganda machine off for parts), thiel, and bannon would fix so much current/future suffering in this world. musk…i feel like it’s almost worse to leave him alive at this point.

    Everyone else has already made great points, so I’m gonna throw a new one out there. Why do all of these people with more money than God dress like absolute shit. I’m sure that cowboy hat cost more than I make in a year, but the man looks like an idiot. Musk and zuck always have the dumbest trash on, too. I get that they are trying to look different to signal that they are elite, but it really just gives off a strong “Look Mom! I dressed myself today!” vibe.

      It’s the same reason they have such outlandish there opinions. There is no one in their orbit to tell them ‘no.’ They’ve been experiencing ai psychosis for years, only in the form of yes men instead of plagiarism machines. Anyone that had the temerity to tell Elon that no, we will not have people living on Mars within ten years has long since been removed from access to him.

      In absolutely no way defending them- if you spent your life having every person you interacted with telling you that whatever drivel you spouted was the greatest thing ever, you too would presume to be one of the smartest on Earth.

      It’s what happens when you are surrounded by yes men. Also they can never experience genuine love without wondering if the person is just there for their money.

      Its the extreme end of “I can dress the way I want, screw what others are thinking”. But when that becomes a thing of its own it ends in some questionable fashion choices.
