So... Where did that $200 Billion come from?
-
Right, Gates is no saint. He became a billionaire the same way they all do, and he has caused a lot of unnecessary suffering in the world.
But that doesn't invalidate his criticism of Musk. If anything, he's speaking from experience, with his unique perspective from atop the same mountain. Doing charitable work doesn't change the past, but it can change the future.
Gates probably disagrees with me, but at least he acknowledges the problem.
-
Fun fact, because of the sheer quantity of fucking people over Gates is guilty of in his time at Microsoft, we can assume that at least a handful of the people he screwed died prematurely as a direct result of Gates' actions. Something about every 1% increase in unemployment sees an accompanying increase of 37,000 deaths by various means.
Bill Gates killed people, is what I'm getting at.

And let’s not forget Clippy.

Can someone recommend me some good local LLMs I can get from HuggingFace? I'm new to all of this stuff, but running it locally with "Clippy" seems like a fun thing to do when I'm bored and don't have anything to do. (I usually don't have a lot of time, but damn it, I want to at least try this stuff once!)

This is an absurd stretch.

This is literal cause and effect in reality.
If I start a Rube Goldberg machine that ends with it shooting and killing you, should I not be held responsible?
-
I'd say it's more butterfly effect than Rube Goldberg. A Rube Goldberg would be engineered with the intent and goal of shooting and killing you. Anyone who has made one can attest to the time and effort and focus needed to get it to accomplish its goal (which in this case is killing you).
Gates' actions are not intended to kill you. Just to make himself rich. You are just collateral damage.
I mean it's still about as moral as burning down the Amazon rainforest to make some money, but Bill Gates isn't setting out with the goal to murder you specifically. Unless you slept with his wife or something.

He worked 500000 times as hard as other people! It's well deserved! If you worked 168 hours a week instead of 40, and 120000 times as hard, you could easily make that, too.
