I was reading an article recently on Sam Altman, he who is driving IT with a 7 trillion capital raise.
He mentions his 400 million bunker he is building.
Other tech billionaires seemingly doing similar?
Should use mere peons be worried?
If it comes to it you just "relieve them" of their bunkers.
If I was a billionaire I would build a cool bunker, just because I could.
I'd also build secret tunnels in my mansion, hidden behind bookshelves.
link to the 7 t please else its your bunker mentality at play

It's been well reported on in the news this week
If you had a sh1t tonne of money and nothing to spend it on, you'd build a bunker too
What I'm annoyed at is how come none of them are building undersea lairs?
Come on Billionaires, get with the program
Think they are designed to be the type you never have to leave , or find
Figured one or two of them would get bored and leave. You then set upon them. Dressing up like lord Humungus is optional.
I think it is a fair and adequate question. Anyone putting this down to , sure they're spending money cos they have it is not really thinking about what these people are working on.
They are attempting to improve margins of nearly every single business that exists by removing the labour costs associated with them. Removing down time, sleep, having any business operate 24/7 365. In their eyes 'improve efficiencies'. In reality put millions upon millions out of work.
Work of all types, from traditional sales people to administration, payroll individuals, legal secretaries, we even have manual labour robots and Boston scientific showing off robots this week that look like they're loading car suspension into boxes but everything is shaped like military grade rocket loading systems.
There's a huge shift in labour coming, there goal is to make those at the top more money reduce costs jump margins and thus drive share prices and dividends. It's not to advance mankind. Even fewer people having money and the rest of us to the wind. Less healthcare less food less jobs lower mortality.
See what's coming it's not that far fetched or far aware as people shrug off. The acceleration of this technology is absolutely lightening speed now. They're building bunkers for the French revolution that may come out or worse.
More likely dressed like this, complete with assless chaps
Without sounding too tin foily, have hear the phrase Neo-feudalism thrown around. Hard to disagree at times. The bunkers are one way, the other was up into space. Like that Elysium film from a few years back.
If an Armageddon type situation happens that requires billionaires to use their bunkers, then they cease to be billionaires.
It's within their interest to keep our current system running so their hoards of cash actually means something.
It's certainly not too tin foil hat to consider the real and present threat to livelihoods. These are serious issues. It's why the EU has taken some serious stances on AI technology. But it needs to be wider.
Yeah sure stump the progress in the EU and USA, let them chinese develop it, what could go wrong.
The Chinese removing their workers from the equation should be up to the Chinese. The US and EU making 60 percent of their population on the dole over a few years is beyond comprehension why anyone would think that benefits them.
Notice the only people who are lauding this technology is the owners of it.. those that are involved in implementing it .. and wall street.
There's red flags there, people aren't comprehending what's coming at all. Most fairly ignorant of the pace of this stuff right now. It's a fun image editor or a fake video. That's just the happy face of a lethal labour killing machine
That's the spirit. If you are going to drag the 1% from their bolt holes, it's best done with an army that's peculiarly homoerotic at times.
Fools and their pseudo futurism and their money
Chaps are, by definition, assless.
Bezos was making one in New Zealand, Musk's fantasy Mars colony is similar. Mixture of concluding earth is doomed and this belief that they can live forever. It's a **** load of wealth more than anything.
The Chinese are already well ahead of the curve in the innovative solutions to unwanted citizens sector.
No organ transplant wait lists in a country with near zero organ donation, I wonder what they could possibly be doing there?
Very nice of these nerds to build the complex for his head of security and their family
"I'll make the sound of a barn yard animal...."
was thinking the same myself...
US tech billionaires seem to be a weird bunch not all of course.
The proposed bomb collars for the security team was a telling one....
Is it a she goat?
They need somewhere to live when they are dead. In the freezer waiting to be thawed out.
we are doomed,doomed i tell ya
Im going to have secret tunnels in my house. I'm not going to wait until Im a billionaire.
If I was a billionaire, I'd have a bunker and a bat cave.
If I was Elon Musk, instead of buying Twitter, I'd put together a real life Thunderbirds. Secret Island and everything.
"IT WAS A BABY OX!!!"
We are.
