      And remember, their wealth wasn’t even real but rather was in extremely over-valued stock options which they used to get loans they didn’t really ever pay back. Also all the libertarians supporting them were complaining about how getting away from the gold standard was evil because of printing too much money while these ultra-rich people could use that aforementioned loophole to magic billions into existence just by saying an existing algorithm was “AI” now.

      We are so stupid.
