May they forever live in existential fear and require personal security for the rest of their pathetic lives

The datacenter growth model has to stop now

The financial markets are starting to punish companies for throwing everything into AI

Good. These execs fucked with our lives and killed a lot of people. Let's see how they like living in fear of retaliation.

They were using sci-fi as their inspiration and the hype for selling their stuff and never bothered to also check the downsides portrayed in the same literature. It's a classic gonk move to be expected from corpo scum.

No, they aren't terrified. These people think they are demigods. I've seen it in plent of senior vice presidents even. It's almost a job requirement at this point. Body guards make them feel even more important, and the company pays for it. Plus... that other tech bro has it, so I should too. That's just the type of people we are dealing with.

TIL that someone tried to firebomb Sam Altman. Hero! ✊

BTW, such reactions are partly self-inflicted:

As the fight over AI data centers heats up, some polls have shown that AI is less popular with Americans than Immigration and Customs Enforcement. People fear that AI will result in mass layoffs, a further consolidation of wealth and power, or even a catastrophic apocalypse — outcomes that many leaders in the AI industry have issued warnings about.

In an effort to make AI more appealing, one should add.

Tech execs have had armed bodyguards for a long time. There was a scandal in Santa Clara county where the sheriff accepted bribes to issue concealed-carry certs for bodyguards.

This has actually been happening since Luigi. Especially tech CEOs. The companies actually started paying for them.

I first ran into it in a class a couple years ago, the dude running was talking about how our group was the first group of normies he'd seen. It was all silicon Valley C staff before, every one had a dude standing directly behind them who wouldn't talk. We're only hearing about it now, but they've been creating a new personal guard industry since the united Healthcare ceo got it.

What's the matter colonel Sanders, chicken?

They should be afraid. Luigi was just.

What is the answer when the wealthy murder countless people but hide it by doing it indirectly?

How are people supposed to make them stop?

Because the murder that the wealthy are doing needs to stop.

Everyone who is not them needs it to stop.

How "brilliant" do you have to be to think this is a better alternative than to stop doing things that make you think people are going to Luigi you?

Remember what the Praetorian Guards would do when they demanded a pay raise and didn't get one.

Armed bodyguards for billionaires are now pariahs. If you know one, isolate them, tell everyone who they are, and the boot they lick. More hated than the glassholes.

It would really suck to miss the CEO you were trying to hit and instead get one of the class traitors surrounding him =/

Yet they aren't going to stop. If threats to their lives isn't enough to slow them down, how much would it actually take for them to stop?

I mean killing them off works look at Luigi. That was just one of them

why not just be like MUSK, produce children to use as human meat shield.

They better build their walls high

Everybody hates me. Am I really so out of touch?

No. It's the ~~children~~ general populace who are wrong.

Good. Parasites should be afraid.

(Not a call for violence. Just saying people who destroy lives should live in fear.)

Hey Execs, do you think maybe if you need to hide behind armed security, that you might just be going down the wrong path by doing evil shit? Also armed guards won't help you if you make the public mad enough and destroy enough lives to where it doesn't matter if they live or not to them. Just a thought

Modern day mobsters with thugs.

You could, I don’t know, just spit-balling here, stop being a greedy, lying, insufferable prick.

Tech Execs only have to be unlucky once.

Why do people go after the execs when the board of directors is the ones making the shitty decisions?
