Reply to comment by s1syphean in Google’s ‘Democratic AI’ Is Better at Redistributing Wealth Than America by Mynameis__--__

Why would you deserve someone else's money? That they worked to get, not you. That's mental illness to believe something like that. It's jealousy. And disgusting.

Just want to help people, man.

Doesn’t your comment strike you as odd? At all?

Just click his profile link man, he frequents Tim Pool. He doesn't understand welfare economics, nor how things can be fundamentally better.

No my comment is what normal people believe. I want to help people as well, but not by taking other people's stuff. Why would someone want the right to steal from other people who have worked hard?

Whether they did or not, the money belongs to them. Not you or anyone else. Anyone who believes in wealth redistribution lives in a fantasy land. I believe we could close the gap in what ceo and other make compared to their employees, but not wealth redistribution.

Maybe this is new info to you, but what do you think taxes are?

Honestly idc enough about this topic. I just think you and anyone who thinks it will ever happen is an idiot. L

Well, it's already happening. The government redistributes our wealth when they tax us. You're saying the concept of taxes will never happen.

And when they put down tax cuts. Less money coming in from taxes means it comes in from someplace else. Either fees and fines and whatever. Or reduced services and support, which people pay to make up for.

I'd much much rather pay more taxes so the kid the next neighborhood over doesn't grow up in poverty then stab me in the face when they're 16, because poverty breeds violence.

well as a taxpaying American, I say it's my right to continually bitch about solvable problems while repeatedly saying I don't want to allocate any resources to fix them.

Considering taxes are spent in the most stupid ways such as slush funds, financing coups in foreign countries, glowies, etc an AI managing it would be a massive improvement.

He asks you about taxes and suddenly you say “honestly Idc”. This is because you don’t know this topic in-depth. Perhaps you have a black and white view on the topic because your simplified version you had in your head isn’t the real world and shows your lack of awareness on the variables that surround it. Perhaps you should care, care about educating yourself on all the variables in a topic before you speak.

_ChestHair_ t1_iuz4kqs wrote

All his arguments throughout this thread can be summed as "honestly idc." He says rich people worked hard for their money. Someone says did they? He responds that it doesn't matter now look over here at this new goalpost (redistribution). Someone says taxes are already a thing. He says he doesn't care and the thing currently happening will never happen. I'm labeling him as "goalposts" with RES

I just think people should be compensated according to their effort. You're telling me that billionaires work 10,000x harder than the average person? I guarantee Bezos and Musk don't work as hard as half the people I know and because they had an idea they get to rule the world and all the money in it?

Yeah the absurdity of their "meritocratic power" mindset is astounding.

Because we as humans live in communities and it’s natural to want to help people in your communities?

How about instead of shilling for millionaires and billionaires you maybe consider they should pay their fair share in taxes. That alone would redistribute wealth.

That is literally exactly what billionaires under capitalism do. They intentionally underpay workers the value of their labor so they can make a profit.

Stable diffusion and the coming AI was not created by one man or company. All of our data is being used for the coming 4th industrial Revolution. Denying that we should be compensated for the data displacing us is ignorant.

Correct! This is exactly why we socialists believe the means of production should be owned by the working class, rather than by an elite few who appropriate the wealth that the workers create for themselves in the form of profit
