Zoe Kleinman, Technology editor at the BBC, writes that tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we all be worried? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly17834524o 😳

Why even build a technology like AI or AGI if you need to hide in a bunker for the rest of your life? Life is much better when you don't cause panic, joblessness, and force a large number of unemployed people to start a revolution. These tech bros are either delusional or have way too much money or fancy doomsday lifestyle. Idiots.

@nixCraft I dont think they fear any catastrophic natural event like flood, meteor or even AGI taking over. My opinion is that what they fear the most is simply humans 😊 Not because they are ultra rich but because they are "ultra tech bro" 😊 They developped so much faith in their "human are just complex machine" narrative that they lost contact with their own humanity and with that, with their human brothers and sister. For this reason, they dont trust anyone and shield themself from society.

@nixCraft I read a fascinating article in Wired about the billionaires who doom prepping and the business around it a few years ago.
The best way to avoid Doomsday is to participate to the society. Do they seem to want to do that?

@nixCraft
- Cures for deadly diseases?

- Solve climate change?
> The world has a natural cycle, we can't change this!
- Clean energy?
> we put wind turbines up and was reassured our prices will come down, no they carried on going up.
A few years ago APPARENTLY the grid was overloaded but now everyone has electric cars and ai data centres.

@nixCraft spend some time watching all the YouTube abandoned property explorers. Graphically shows what happens to them. No one cared for them, because they did not care for anyone.

@nixCraft when the Revolution comes, the tech (and oil) billionaires better be hiding in heavily armored and hidden bunkers, because we will be coming for them.

@nixCraft plebs don't understand billionaires, when they get together they have to show that they're the biggest billionaire, one of the ways to do this is "I have a huge doom-prep castle, bigger than yours" - it's just billionaire D*ck-measuring
