“The thing to worry about is a level of wealth concentration that will break society,” Amodei wrote.
I have been publishing content on Medium.com for over a decade, and what I like about this platform is that reading the articles is just as rewarding as writing them. Medium writers consistently publish content that is thought-provoking, insightful, informative, educational, and entertaining. I lifted the quote above from an article by Tasmia Sharmin titled "Anthropic’s 7 Billionaire Founders Just Pledged 80% of Their Wealth (Because They Know What’s Coming) | | Predict". Below are my remarks (sometimes I reshare my thoughts via JDVM).
That's a laughable quote. IT sounds like he's talking about Trump, his kids, and his loyalist cronies.
AT any rate, “extreme” wealth is a tremendous blessing and responsibility. If people who “earned” it want to give it away, maybe they could start by paying their employees a “generous” wage and a compensation package that includes insurance for healthcare, on-the-job injury, and death [which the employees are clearly going to need], plus retirement [if they live]. The kind of “wage” where people won't rely on government welfare, food banks, religious and charity organizations, etc. You know most people don't want hand-outs. They want to work, earn an honest living, and have a happy life. You know? Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and all that jazz.
ANYWAY! My advice to the billionaires is … DON'T PAY TAXES! They already see what Trump is doing with our tax dollars. Only a fool would give him MO MONEY!!
If “The New Magnificent 7” want to build or rebuild a great America, then they should probably micro-manage their own good fortunes. Pledging is one thing. But the visionary “80%” need to make sure the redistributed wealth gets to WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO!!
Visionary billionaires pledge to redistribute the extreme wealth they are certain they will make from AI (artificial intelligence) initiatives. (Yawn.🥱)
Just me babbling.
