These dudes are slowly realizing that their entire class of people were a product of zero-interest-rate financial chicanery rather than any kind of innovation or technology, and are going more and more insane as that environment falls apart.

You still hear people saying that founders don't deserve to be rich, because their employees created all the value. But the falsity of this claim becomes increasingly obvious as automation enables founders to grow companies with fewer and fewer employees.

Obama's legacy can be boiled down to bailing out the banks and sending interest rates to zero instead of literally just giving people money and nationalizing Freddie and Fannie. Oh, and triple-tapping weddings in the Middle East.

This is one of those tweets that starts dumb and gets dumber the more I think about it. Like tweet Hypercolor.

Does...does he think "automation" magically materializes out of the ether and becomes self-sustaining, self-improving, and self-repairing? Because it doesn't do that and isn't any of those things.

A little known fact is that these companies need small armies of highly skilled employees to bring these “innovations” to fruition. And every time they say something shitty, their talent pool gets smaller.

This guy is just a self-delusional asshole who rationalizes his own greed, cruelty and biases.

They really want to believe transferring each other one's and zero's back and forth, and accounting tricks, creates wealth. Basically, they don't need the workers that they loathe and rob.

Today's techbro thought leaders: microdosing while staring into their own assholes and doing deep, nonsensical tweets about paradigm shifting blockchain laundry apps and blaysian curves in founder metrics until interest rates go back down.
