  1. Yes. Enough of the fawning, adoring CEOs etc.
    It will stain you all in history as complicit to massive corruption and enabling of inappropriate wars and genocides.

    Wise up about the personality disorders in play, and how they shift across themselves rather than being only one.

    Anyone intact after dealing with them up close will tell you that the minimal time placating seems to buy is undermined by it being seen as weakness easier to attack, and that the delay is used to get to know you more to attack harder, sooner. You NEVER give these types what they want unless briefly to escape/survive a life threatening situation. Setting traps and backstabbing is the name of the corruption game, so it is nonsense to walk into it collectively. Instead CEOs and leaders should collectively dig heels in to stop the wheels of toxicity turning. Put sticks in the spokes of the psychopathy, using false trails and aloofness to be hard to read as the wheels come off incrementally.

    Corruption and narcissistically driven sociopathy/psychopathy are a Venus fly trap scenario. EVERY leader and voter should be aware enough to know this, wherever they are in the world. Break the links and keep nipping the buds, because corruption is already doing that to you. It erodes life for all, poor or wealthy. Thinking otherwise because of hoarded wealth or perceived 'success' in a current exploitative economic paradigm is madness.

  2. To the Epstein Class 'maturity' means 'allowing a genocide to happen, and punishing those who point it out'

    Imagine being so awful that Wes fucking Streeting looks human in comparison!

  4. There's a meme on FB that asks why no billionaire has funded the halting or reversal of climate change, just so people would revere them for literally saving humanity. This was my response:

    Partly it involves a process change to everything we do, so it doesn't happen on a specific day and so there is no glory, like saving us from an asteroid that's about to destroy Earth. There is no definitive problem that on a certain day you can say "see, it's done".

    Partly because the solutions involve changing how everything on the planet operates in a way that many people will regard as adverse, because even though we talk about caring about our kids, people are really a lot in it for themselves and if it comes down to them having a good time or leaving a livable world for their kids, they're going to have a good time and pretend to hope their kids will survive it.

    Partly it's that there's good money in pretending it's not a big deal, and these are people who like to use money as their signal of goodness. To the extent they pretend they care about humanity, in many cases they're just trying to make a profit on the fact that others do.

    Partly it's that the solution is actually something that even billionaires don't have enough to just buy outright overnight.

    Partly it's that it cuts into their lifestyles, in many cases, because the are some of the most planet-intensive people in existence. One of the things we need to do in order to survive as a species is stop being consumption-oriented and they are the poster-children for consumption.

    Partly it's that they do not perceive that the threat is to all of humanity, only to some of it, and they think the people who escape it will be the clever ones, who they imagine are the ones with money. They think that by becoming rich, they have avoided it, and that they are humanity's best chance.

    Partly it's that they have a bunker in their basement that is prepper-stocked with what they imagine is everything they need and they just don't care about others.

    Partly it's that although we revere them as super-smart for getting to where they are, we over-attribute intelligence and under-attribute sociopathy. So, yes, they don't care that much about others, but also they aren't in a lot of cases the smartest among us.

    Partly it's that everything else they do they already model as saving humanity in one way or another, so the "high" of having these alleged bragging rights would not last long.

    Partly it's that their notion of what "investing" in has nothing to do with outcomes you want to see in the world, and everything to do with what brings monetary return, which steers them in the wrong direction.

    Partly they think there are too many people and it's good that most of them will die, so they are doing humanity a favor by culling its numbers. (I'm not going to get into the racial breakdown of the order in which people die, but there's probably a lot to be said there, too.)

    Partly they may just do the calculation that there are cheaper ways to get adulation.

    Why all this energy spent on destroying #democracy, & ignoring #Constitution, #law, and #WeThePeople?

    Might be a clue among 37 felonies, the #crime spree (& celebration) of #Jan6, and the massive #coverup of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles

    Dismantling #Justice - even starting a #war

    Literally "unprecedented", so much, in all the wrong ways.

    He will destroy the whole world before allowing #truth #justice #accountability

    It's all about HIM & his rage.

  10. @wdlindsy

    All of this cements the need to recognize and identify Trump not only as monstrous grifter, accused multiple rapist and court-sanctioned sex offender, but also as a mass murderer.

    Added to his assassinations of Caribbean fishermen and supposed 'drug runners' (and outside of the domestic deaths arising from his administration's grossly negligent and gratuitously hostile policies) his kill count will now number in the hundreds if not thousands.

  12. "Should you use AI for financial advice?

    Andrew Lo, a finance professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management, says not yet. Large language models like Copilot or ChatGPT aren’t suited to being used as financial advisers because they are the digital equivalent of sociopaths—smooth, persuasive and devoid of empathy.

    If an adviser powered by artificial intelligence “is able to communicate both good and bad financial advice with the same pleasant and convincing affect, its clients will rightfully view this as a problem,” Lo and one of his graduate students, Jillian Ross, wrote in 2024 in an article for the Harvard Data Science Review. (Today’s robo advisers, like those offered by Betterment and Wealthfront, went into action before the era of large language models and aren’t built on them for the most part, so Lo’s critiques don’t apply to them.)

    Still, people are already using AI tools for help with their finances.
    This past August, a survey of 11,000 individual investors in 13 countries commissioned by eToro, a trading and investment platform, found that 19% were already using ChatGPT-style AI tools to manage their portfolios, up from 13% in 2024.
    (...)
    Despite his reservations about current AI models, Lo believes that large language models will eventually be able to help investors—especially people with small accounts and limited experience with investing. In fact, he is working to build one that is specialized for financial advice. He doesn’t plan to charge for it, he says.

    Lo’s goal is to develop an AI financial adviser that is a true fiduciary—namely, an entity that always puts the client’s interests first and tailors its advice to their particular needs, including emotional needs. He thinks it will take something less than four more years."

  14. @matt It seems that your idea of "#StrongAndStable" is a man who:

    1/ broke all the 10 pledges which won him the #LabourParty leadership;
    2/ reshuffled his great offices of state after only 15 months;
    3/ picked a fight with his party over core values: starving kids & freezing grannies;
    4/ slashed development aid, starving the world's poor to buy arms;
    5/ persecuted opponents of genocide as "terrorist".
    Etc.

    That's not strong and not stable. It's folly, and it's mendacious #sociopathy.

  16. RE: mastodon.ie/@faduda/1160140207

    This is #sociopathy. Bezos is incapable of caring for anyone but himself, and is so lacking in humanity that he doesn't even get how awful this makes him look.

    Someone - no doubt he has reputation consultants on call - will tell him how to appear human in this situation. He won't know otherwise.

    Sociopaths never mature - they remain (evil) children for life. It's not wise to give such people power, because they are immature, sadistic, and narcissistic. They appeal to nonsociopaths whose moral values are...loose.

    "The political theory of "everyone is twelve now" really is undefeated. None of this propaganda makes any sense until you realize the target audience never intellectually or emotionally developed past middle school."

  33. If you really want to 'case study' a person like this, you need to start with her early influences.

    I would be more interested in reading about her parents. She's simply a run of the mill dumb as two bricks, highly motivated sociopath. A stereotype of this class.

  34. "It’s common knowledge that our capitalist system rewards people with sociopathic or psychopathic traits. As Forbes writes, “the link between leadership in the corporate world and non-violent psychopathy is widely acknowledged.” Altman, to my mind, is a paradigmatic example of this phenomenon.

    And as Futurism reports, he “now has the power to ‘crash the global economy’” because of his constant lies about how amazing LLMs would be, resulting in a huge bubble 17 times the size of the dot-com bubble. Like many sociopathic billionaires, Altman’s greatest legacy will likely be the profound harms he caused people on his single-minded quest to — paraphrasing Graham — “become powerful.”"
