  • Amazon’s 1.58 million employees

    No company should be able to have more than, say, 10.000 employees. After that, you’re too big to fail. Companies need hard caps on how large they can grow, both in number of employees, as well as in net worth. A y income it makes over that hard cap should go 100% to taxes.

    Same for humans. We need hard caps on how much a single human being can own, be worth. No person should have a networth over 1 million dollars. Any income over that goes 100% to taxes

    Two simple rules that will change the world. We can keep capitalism, all fine, just cap how much a human being can have as a net worth









  • Nah, AI will already do that automatically because any and all system loses something in inefficiencies. Same like if you put a theoretical 100 miles of gas worth in your tank that turns into 20 in practice because the combustion engine has an efficiency of 30ish%, you have air and tire resistance, etc etc.

    AI has the same for information, and what comes out is always a certain fraction of the 100% that went in

    Since poisoning the pool makes AI unreliable up to the point where it becomes useless, it has the potential to stop the AI madness. I’d be all for that.
