      Was there proof that Bill Gates did underage girls? Or where they all over 18? I don’t remember anything tying him to underage girls, but there were so many names, I have no clue about it anymore.

        Frankly, I don’t care one single iota whether or not there is “proof”.

        When someone credibly suspected of heinous crimes has this much power, I presume guilt.

        Powerful and wealthy people are able to erase evidence of their crime.

        I refuse to concern myself with whether a billionaire is or isn’t guilty of crimes according to the standards of a legal system that permits police officers to murder one-year-old children in the street because of a parent’s refusal to follow orders during detainment for theft of diapers.

        Even if Gates were arrested, charged, arraigned, tried, found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by his so-called “peers” for removed, his sentence would be a fine, and house arrest for a few months, I guarantee it.

        The point remains that even if I and all my comrades presume his guilt, still no justice will be served in any case. What is to be lost by declaring someone like that to be my moral enemy?

          Nah, I prefer proof.

          THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

            Calling for the murder of rich people isn’t “self-defense,” and advocating for violence or murder is against the rules of this comm.

            PLENTY of other places around Lemmy where you all can have fun imagining murdering everyone who you think is rich. Not here.

    He also predicted that by the end of the 2020s artificial intelligence could be operating beyond human control.

    This could mean that AI could operate against human interests by the end of the decade, Mr Gates warned.

    Or the AI trend will end in a total economy collapse. That means everyone gets more percentage of the total much smaller pie and new rich assholes can raise to the top.
