Silicon Valley has become a cancer on the world. There are too many companies run by greedy, unhinged psychopaths who do not care how their products and services affect the world. It's not just Thiel's companies. It's Meta and Google and Apple and Amazon and Uber and OpenAI.
The only thing Silicon Valley is missing is a series of volcano lairs for their founders and CEOs.
100%
If you don't mind my nitpiking. This isn't a silicon valley issue, it's the consequence of how corporations are set up to demand ever endless unlimited growth. They are all cancerous tumors competing with each other.
Silicone Valley is where the US IT corporations settled.
Ayup. We've spent a couple generations now explicitly training and rewarding sociopathy and now it's a surprise we're arse deep in sociopaths ?
MBAs are a fucking cancer
To nitpick further, this is a consequence of unregulated capitalism and at this point the people who control it don't have an incentive to change it.
The system is working as intended.
We need to destroy it if we want anything to change.
To nitpick further.
It all ends up as a guaranteed exorbitant income for the owning class. and we are all paying for it in endless amounts of human misery and destruction of our planet.
To nitpick further...
It's yet another iteration of the rich destructively oppressing everyone else. Capitalism is yet another system built and modified by the rich to keep themselves in power. While it may be a preferable system over most of what came before, it's still not good enough to protect the rest of us and the world from their destruction. When their greed yet again goes too far, the cycle will repeat yet again. We might want to take that opportunity to build a better system specifically without the rich dipshits.
Zuckerberg's Hawaiian bunker is technically a volcano lair. And Bezos has Dr. evil's laugh and space rocket.
That bunker is in fact a dumber idea than most of his recent projects.
It’s isolated if the US goes down and so is he.
Don't give them ideas, they'll start drilling for new volcanoes.
You mean like Musk's "Boring company"?
Too late, they're already on it.

Jesus, that poster! I was sure the black woman was drawn by Rob Liefeld, but wrong decade I guess
That’s Grace Jones, as far as drawings of her go I don’t think that one’s quite as terrible as Liefeld, although it’s the 80s so the body standards are really off. She was known in the 80s for really bold art and fashion, and I knew instantly that had to either be her or based on her:
On the set of Conan:
You forgot the most famous artwork of her of all:
She also used to peg dolph lundgren
Thank you!! I couldn’t remember the title and searching ‘Grace Jones art’ was barely getting me anything
No problemo.
The pose is actually physically impossible iirc. It's a composite.
As far you know...
