      Disclaimer: * also a main proponent of said AI he definitely doesnt have stock invested in companies whose survival, and his paycheck, depend on. Absolutely 1000% facts being spatial here.

        Gates is 1,000 miles beyond worrying about his “paycheck”. You’re thinking in terms of how you and I regard money. Gates don’t give a fuck. He’s really wants to do the right thing and leave a solid legacy. Call him greedy, and he certainly was in the day, but he’s no longer concerned with personal enrichment.

        That does NOT mean I agree with him, just saying he’s not thinking and acting as you and I would. Neither one of us are 70-yo (his bd is Tuesday, drop him a card) multi-billionaires with household names and vast influence.

          Money is a drug, rich people if anything are more greedy for each dollar they get than poor people because their tolerance goes up and they need more and more power/money to still get high.

          Any amount of money billionaires like Gates steals from workers has to be just the beginning or else his high will peak and then fall and billionaires will not accept a cold brush with reality/mortality like that.
