“If £1b were to suddenly appear in their bank account, would euthanasia still be necessary?

“If the answer is no, that's not euthanasia; it's social murder.”
Tweet by Nico Reznick, AT NicoReznick on 20 June 2025 reads: “There is a simple test to see if someone should qualify for assisted dying: If £1b were to suddenly appear in their bank account, would euthanasia still be necessary? If the answer is no, that's not euthanasia; it's social murder. [hashtag] AssistedDyingBill [hashtag] assistedsuicidebill”

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

There's never "enough" for these people.
Kurt Vonnegut comments on Joseph Heller, describing the difference between himself and the rich. Heller has enough, whereas there seems to be no limit today on what enough entails for the wealthy.

Luke: Master Yoda, is the dark side more powerful?

Yoda: No, not more powerful. Faster, yes. Stronger, yes. Resurrect the dead and time travel, it can. All jedis defeated it has. Kicked my ass it did. Live alone in hiding on swamp planet, I do.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
inequalitymedia.bsky.social Inequality Media @inequalitymedia.bsky.social · Apr 28
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.

These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.

If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

everyone else who has made George Lucas money did so through acts of unfathomable cruelty and he did it by having unerring faith that the merchandising rights to Glupp Shitto would be worth far more than cash up front

i have zero interest in most modern low budget shlock because it’s doing this self conscious “haha so bad it’s good just like the 80s!” thing. but you can’t produce that intellectually. you need to be trying to make a normal movie and have it come out wrong because you’re a crazy person

I am going insane. This company will lose $10bn this year! Generative AI has peaked! There isn't a sustainable business model, and the products are mediocre and error prone and don't even do anything cool despite costing billions and accelerating climate change and stealing everybody's artwork!
edzitron.com Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · Jan 23
I'm old enough to remember the last time OpenAI was pledging to build a big stupid supercomputer called Stargate. Nobody wanna talk about this? How stupid this shit is? How absolutely stupid all of this god damn generative AI shit is?

www.wheresyoured.at/bubble-troub...
I've been hesitant to outright say that we're in an artificial intelligence bubble, or at least I was until I read that Microsoft and OpenAI are currently planning to build a $100 billion supercomputer dubbed "Stargate." The six-year-long project is contingent on "OpenAI's ability to meaningfully improve the capabilities of its AI" according to The Information's sources, and would require "as much as five gigawatts of power." To give context, one gigawatt is enough to power 750,000 homes. The Information's story is vague about the progress required to launch Stargate — it's a multi-phase operation, currently "in the middle" of its third phase, adding that the datacenter would potentially cost $10 billion to build, and that half of the $100 billion total cost could be made up of specialist AI chips. The article is vague, likely because building Stargate is at this point somewhat theoretical. Microsoft allegedly has to find new ways to fit more GPUs (the graphics process unit that is used in AI compute) in a single rack (the way that servers are mounted in a datacenter), and find an entirely new way of cooling them to make Stargate run. It would also need to source enough energy to power an entire city.
