It’s hard to celebrate the success of people who convey toxic Silicon Valley stereotypes.
And I’m not going to celebrate the success of multimillionaires who are quitting their passion projects to join the evil empire to “change the world” by making the lives of the working class worse and transferring more wealth to the top.
Someone in OP’s position of success has the means to make the choice to not work with a Palantir collaborator, but they chose to go for it.
Yep! I’m not going to give you the satisfaction, considering you ignored the underlying message of what I said and acted like I was making it all about me in your original version of your response comment, when in reality I was obviously making point about corporate feudalism and the widening income inequality gap.
The fact that I make a declining share of peanuts compared to this AI bro selling his soul to serial liar Sam Altman isn’t “about me,” it’s about “me” as in “the working class.”
This is the core of why it’s distasteful for the most excessively privileged people and their enablers to celebrate their wins, and why I feel no obligation to celebrate alongside them nor keep my distaste for them to myself.
Regular people are beyond sick and tired of tech bros like OP trying to “change the world” by shipping our jobs to data centers and shoving depression apps down our childrens’ throats. Now they want us to celebrate with them as they get paid massive salaries and stock awards to design the robots that will finally replace the last bastions of human interaction and craftsmanship.
