"How Silicon Valley Fuels An Informal Caste System"
Yep, sounds a lot like Neofeud! (Sadly, but unsurprisingly)

Another Neofeudal post-capitalism shithole future marker:
"Survival Of The Richest" - billionaires are planning to leave everyone behind using tech, before they get eaten.

The_Gibson That's a hell of a read.
@thegibson I really, really hate it when I'm right on these things.
"The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers — if that technology could be developed in time"
Agreed...
This is the exact behavior one expects from a peak sociopath.
I am not as radical as most here... I don't blame capitalism for our problems, but I do blame corruption of capitalism for these issues... we are in the endgame, and most are too busy trying to survive to notice.
@thegibson Whatever anyone thinks about capitalism, it's dying. Billionaires KNOW this. All we can do is speed up the demise of capitalism, so it happens BEFORE extreme automation, and collectivise the post-capitalist AI/automation. Because if capitalism and extreme inequality still dominates WHILE total automation happens, anyone who doesn't have 9-figures in an offshore bank is going to die, or going to live in a Gaza-like torture chamber for the last decade before they die.
#latestagealtruism send the billionaire bro (#elonmusk #peterthiel #billgates #mcafee #sheldon) crew to Mars. One way ticket. Give our regards to Alpha Centauri brave space conquistador. Buh bye. Deport big bang theory to Space. They're always talking about #vulcans #klingon #xfiles #ufo outer space. Good riddance. Earth People!
Where's the button I press to make vocoder disapproving ChewbaccaW00kie sound ?(mrrrrou)
@Tlacaelel @silverspookgames
I disagree. Space is ours too.
