Who's the most cruel businessman of the tech world?

wtf this makes me want to shove him into an oven

Fake news? Post a link, strait male

>>58600863
oh yeah!?!? well at least I'm not a WHITE male

>>58600863
it is true that he sues the owners of the land but the reality is that this is the only way to get in contact will all the owners since in hawaii you can inherit shares of ownership of land and plenty of people dont really know they have stakes in that piece of land he wants to buy off

tl;dr; its more complicated than the clickbate leads on to belive

There have been some misleading stories going around today about our plans in Hawaii, so I want to clear this up …The land is made up of a few properties. In each case, we worked with the majority owners of each property and reached a deal they thought was fair and wanted to make on their own.

As with most transactions, the majority owners have the right to sell their land if they want, but we need to make sure smaller partial owners get paid for their fair share too.

In Hawaii, this is where it gets more complicated. As part of Hawaiian history, in the mid-1800s, small parcels were granted to families, which after generations might now be split among hundreds of descendants. There aren’t always clear records, and in many cases descendants who own 1/4% or 1% of a property don’t even know they are entitled to anything.

To find all these partial owners so we can pay them their fair share, we filed what is called a “quiet title” action. For most of these folks, they will now receive money for something they never even knew they had. No one will be forced off the land.

We are working with a professor of native Hawaiian studies and long time member of this community, who is participating in this quiet title process with us. It is important to us that we respect Hawaiian history and traditions.

These handed-down ancestral "deeds" are always such a pain in the ass. I should know, fucking mapuches and their bullshit

>>58600884
Lol what a fucking bad PR move. He should have sued them through multiple proxies and then buy that land through proxies. Aggregate and merge in the last step.

The most cruel businessman of the tech world is dead now. His name was Steve Jobs.

Does that name sound familiar? He was one of the founders of a company called Apple, which is a Tech Company that released a number of computers and later the iPhone. They did a lot of really cruel things like making their phone have a different charger than other phones. I'm 12 by the way.

This can be said about every single potential scenario, and hell even for doing nothing.

Besides, there are some historic examples of a work free society working out perfectly for the the people, just take every civilization that ever had slaves and replaces human slaves with robots.

>>58603209
Tons of people already get free money for work without creating value. Might as well skip the "pointless work" part and give them the money right away, in best case scenario, they will use the time for something of value, in worst case nothing changes for them.

>>58603209
>get free money
Who said anything about free money?

We don't need money, that's the whole fucking point and that's what Thiel is unironically being afraid of (because what scares a billionaire more than all his money not being worth shit?)

>>58603229
>Rapid development leads to sociatial chaos.
Yes, but most often for the better. See the invention of the steam-powered engine, which I thought was pretty obvious with the luddite reference...

>See: China and Russia. Hundreds of millions dead.
That's not because of development, that's because of delusional leaders with absolute power. Mao marching millions of people out in the desert in order to try to grow crops where there is nothing but sand has nothing to do with technological progress. Stalin prosecuting thousands of people based on whims and forcefully relocating people because of ideology has also nothing to do with development of technology.

Lawsuits are not law, anon. There's a reason why it was a lawsuit, and not a regular prosecution which is what happens when you, you know, actually break the law.

Anyone can sue anyone, and it just so happens that this is a very effective technique to get your will because people can't afford the legal costs of a lawsuit in itself.

Remember that Gawker didn't lose the lawsuit, they simply couldn't afford it anymore and decided on a settlement.

Just no. Any lawyer can send anyone a cease or desist, it's not a legal order.

>>58603334
>jury
What? There is no jury in a lawsuit, retard.

And also, no, they didn't lose. They settled.

>>58603304
But there are none, this doesn't mean it's a perfect system, that's impossible, it's simply better than what we have now.

The only possible drawbacks would be the transition (Luddites would probably start demonstrations about losing their shitty 60h a week job instead of getting free money and free time) and the possibility of monopolization by some company, which aren't the issues with the system.

Though shouldn't you name the drawbacks since you're so worried about them, Mr Thiel?

>>58603342

"Perfect" is a word suboptimal for human ideas and concepts. It's definitely the very best idea we have available considering the alternatives, at least when the goal is best possible life for the majority of humanity. If you get off of telling underpaid slaves what to do, it certainly got its weaknesses.

You still haven't noted the drawbacks by the way. Hopefully you have something better in mind than sci fi shit of robot revolution.

When the fuck did this become /g/ communism? Inefficient workers get replaced by more efficient workers, this leads to a desire to become an efficient worker and/or work with something else. This is capitalism at its finest, why are you mongos against this?

>>58603470

I don't have to note the drawbacks of anything. This whole discussion is hyperbolic, you can't make a serious point of anything without resorting to strawmen and memes. It's just mental masturbation for you in your imaginary fight against "conservative" thinkers.
"Ooohhh, I'll show this stranger on the internet I'm so smart and progressive thinking."
No, not really. Quite the opposite, really.

>>58603517
Oh, this is much, much more than just some sex tapes. Gawker did this to themselves, and has no one else to blame.

>>58603532
>I don't have to note the drawbacks of anything.

>>58603532
>I don't have to note the drawbacks of anything.
So your entire point is WAAH, I DON'T LIKE PROGRESS BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING NEW.

That not being a conservative thinker or any kind of thinker. Just a shitposter, anon.

>>58603547
>did this to themselves
Gawker would have won easily if Thiel didn't put in literally millions into the case because he was butthurt about the whole being rammed from behind thing.

Nah m8, you're an edgy tard who has everything figured out, and can't even think out of the box. Your debating Thiel, not me, that's the conservative figure I may have been referring to.
So you really can't imagine one scenario where your little robot fantasy world might be a problem? I don't really have to debate anything, this is just you wanting to give a speech and win an argument. It's not an honest discussion.

Oy vey, mister Goldstein!

You're failing yet again to point out exactly what you think is bad, and you're blaming us for being dishonest and use fallacious reasoning without even pointing out some actual concrete issues.

I'm not interested in starting a debate with myself, you are supposed to offer counterviews and point out potential issues.

We have already addressed Thiel's position on this, and it is based on ideology and a fallacious belief in himself being some sort of Ayn Randian superhuman with inherent superiority to other people.

>>58603696
>They literally had millions of their own.
You know extremely well that Thiel just poured money onto this and had greedy jewish goblins come and corrupt and taint the court like the disease infesting vermin they are.

>>58603696
>He is the one you should be debating.
His point isn't dissimilar to yours. There is nothing to debate if the counter argument is "I don't like it :(("

>My point is everything has unintended consequences.
This applies to going on as we have now, only that there are very clear downsides with that and few positives. The alternative is taking a bridge that we're know is already collapsing and having most people fall to their deaths before it even collapses, or taking another bridge that at least appears stable. It's impossible to tell for sure where either will end.

You stupid shit, why should I?
You haven't even backed up your statement about THIEL in the first place.

Some quotes:
"Middle class jobs in the U.S. are not threatened by artificially-intelligent robots. That's like science fiction. It might happen in 100 years, maybe never," Thiel said on Tuesday at The Economist's Buttonwood Gathering.

"It's a problem we would like to have...It would free people up to do far more productive things," said Thiel, who recently invested in a marijuana startup.

Blame globalization: Today's middle class jobs are threatened by globalization, not technology, Thiel said.

"I'm not against globalization, but we should be very clear that that's the force of pressure on the middle class. It's not this scapegoat called technology," said Thiel.
Beyond the impact on jobs, Thiel doesn't sound nearly as worried about artificial intelligence as Tesla (TSLA) founder Elon Musk, who recently said AI poses a grave threat to the human race.
"I think our intuitions about it are very poorly formed. My sense is that it's still much further into the future [than people realize]," he said.

Nothing is more hilarious than obscenely rich people lobbying for tax reliefs on the rich and claiming it is for the good of the non-existing middle class.

>>58603846
>prepared to face the consequences of our actions
That's called adapting, and it is what humans have done for over 200,000 years. Stop spreading FUD about AI like there is going to be an explosive development in that field that will lead to some form of singularity that will suddenly occur over night with nobody being prepared and exterminate humanity.

Research is slow as fuck and as of today the only thing AI is really good at is pattern matching and using that pattern matching in specific settings (i.e. detecting potential collisions) is the only application for AI.
