So 100% accurate replication of C-suite and board of directors IRL behavior.

Think of all the money that could be saved if that class was replaced by AI and their grift was invested in the well-being of normal humans. We could achieve the AI economy that could free so many people from grinding poverty and get a science fiction utopia.

Unfortunately we're going to get the Morloch/Eloi dystopia of H. G. Wells Time Machine, except the elites will consume the underclass. Think of the more recent Harkonnens in Dune.

Look no further then every Trump/DOJ revenge prosecution in the last year, along with the ICE/gestapo masked anonymous death squads, and the concentration camps being built all over the country.

Example: relatives of the NYT reporters who broke the story on the Qatar Trump 747 bribe aircraft being unsafe had their phone records subpoenaed by the FBI.

Don't forget that you are paying for all of it and it's going to get far worse real soon.

What's the going bribery rate for a $7 billion contract?

No matter what Ellison comes out personally richer while the rest of us pay the bill.

Break out the popcorn!

How about basic affordable health care for all by making the billionaire class pay some reasonable tax rate? Instant increase in well being along with eventual increased life span. No medical breakthrough required.

Because road infrastructure is free. Just lay down a strip of Acme Instant Roadway Tape and drive to you're hearts content.

So a completely normal cop.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Where do I sign up?.

No infotaiment or GPS, maybe an AM/FM radio. Optional cruse control. I'd live with hand cranked widows, but some sort of air conditioning would be nice. Pick some second party sourced drive train and engine. Only open source microprocessor hardware/software.

Time to take my meds because I'm clearly hitting a manic phase and need to come down.

Because only morons try to make an argument that's binary all or nothing.

So toilet paper == Voyager mission entering the heliopause?

I've never gone to a grocery store that sells space missions exploring the solar system. Where do you shop?

Nope: "Robert's Cult", a wholly owned division of "MAGA, the Cult of Trump".

They both could be hallucinating AI systems as far as I can tell. Neither of them seem to care much about the actual world the rest of us live in.

Although the number of people in the room is significantly less the the US House of Representatives, the total amount of lying, thieving, grift and graft on display rivals the worst that comes out of the US legislature. If bad intentions had mass it could be big enough to collapse into a black hole.

As of May 12 2026 Microsoft's market capitalization is just over 3 trillion USD. The World Bank estimate for Kenya's GNI (Gross National Income) in 2024 was 123 billion USD.

The value of the data center alone is about 0.81% of the GNI of the entire country. The value of the data center is about 0.033% of the value of Microsoft, so the ratio of Microsoft/Kenya relative value is 2454. Note this is not a percentage, but the approximate ratio of net worth. As a percentage it's 0.04% USD of Kenya per 1 USD of Microsoft.

This is how colonialism is manifest in the 21st century.

Is there any way they can both loose?
