This is just marketing bullshit, loads of companies fired a fuck-ton of people to be replaced with AI and it didn’t work. “It’s gonna happen next year so you better invest in us” works on finance goons I guess but fuck me this is just a tired refrain from these AI CEO turds.
The rich have been building their private fallout bunkers for a while already. I wonder if this is partly to hype up AI to keep the excitement going to entice continuing investment. “You guys, AI is so scary it’s going to replace all these jobs.” And I think it will, and hopefully not to a point that is socially destabilizing. But the real economy is already on the rocks, I don’t buy it that recent layoffs of white collar workers is solely or even primarily due to LLMs taking those jobs.
The point I’m trying to get at is that the people telling us that AI is a terrifying world-changing force are the same people who need to keep money pouring in to their AI businesses.
Game theory: why shouldn’t private security just off the bozo and loot his bunker?
Their shock/bomb collars mostly
Seems like the guy in charge is the guy with the detonator then
eh, these types of social systems need an actually charismatic leader who can control the armed forces. i dont think modern CEOs are fit for that without the state protecting their assets. no rizz.
it would quickly devolve into the praetorian guard picking emperors type madness.
I think the best case scenario for a billionaire in a bunker is analogous to being Emperor under a Shogunate. Like your the symbolic leader who is needed to press their thumb against various biometric locks but it’s very clear whoever in your security force has secured leadership is actually in charge. Take your MRE, go play some playstation, the adults are talking.
Worst case obviously involves a LOT of torture.
the majordomo taking over, yes
I’m not putting on the collar. I’m not eating the bugs. I’m not living in the capsule.
Seems like a pretty shitty job
If the dickheads forcing AI-based unemployment to happen to the rest of us are all hiding underground, why the fuck wouldn’t we just kinda… idk, not do that?
“Wait, if I’m underground, and if you’re underground, then who is up there to oppress people?!”

I mean, its really thoughtful of them to build their own jail cells.
What’s the fucking point of being rich if you have to live in a bunker?
to make other people miserable. capital selects for sadism
We should really start a billionaire bunker map project.

I think you’d have to do it as a crowdsourcing project. Take submissions and then filter them against listings for real estate sales?
All of these have to get listed at some point, so all of their locations are out there. The only ones that won’t be listed are the custom builds where a billionaire bought a plot of land in a forest and then dug their own bunker out. That information won’t be completely secret either though. There will be people that know or local news that mentioned it and people that can report it.
In some cases you simply won’t be able to confirm who owns the private bunker, but it’s still useful as a private bunker map without listing owners anyway. The only people that own private bunkers a multi millionaires and up.
Eventually that kind of map will be genuinely useful.

Might be worth asking what @[email protected] is using? Might be better to ask privately though.

They’re gonna try to build self sustaining ecosystems in these places and not realize the tiniest fuck up means they gonna mess everything up. Despite money not being a problem I swear they are gonna cheap out somewhere
BioSphere famously devolved from a bunch of scientists dedicated to the mission into a bunch of squabbling and screaming matches with someone legit cutting off access to the media except through them, in addition to minor problems cascading into crop failures that would have starved them all to death without additional food deliveries
I’m sure an egomaniacal sociopath and his flunkies will do great
Pauly Shore was great in that documentary
They already can’t build anything correctly
I mean they already live in a giant, self-sustaining ecosystem that’s able to withstand quite a lot of fuck-ups and they’ve still managed to fuck that up. No way they’ll last for long in a tiny, fragile one that they build themselves lol.
Oh cool so the ai will take care of the poor so they don’t need to work right?
Right??
oh they’ll take care of the poor alright
Can’t wait to fart in Zuck’s bunker vent
Stocking up on canned beanis just to participate.
Just add concrete and you got yourself a

The intake pipes are a great place to route the post apocalyptic sewage.
Every time they say shit like this, it’s a lie to get people to invest in AI. That shit doesn’t work like they say it does, companies are failing to actually replace workers.
Tech bro billionaires live in a monoculture where the imminence of AGI is unfalsifiable dogma and the idea of meeting someone who’s never used an LLM is unthinkable
