Tech Billionaires are buying doomsday shelters

Tech Billionaires are buying doomsday shelters because they think automation is going to cause a societal collapse. Basically they want to hide in a comfy bunker while the rest of us peons are left in the dust

Silly Con Valley's schtick is basically to automate the jobs of ordinary people, thereby destroying the livelihood of said ordinary people.

It's either that or they're selling our personal data to the highest bidder.

Back in the 1940s. 50s, and 60s it seemed like the tech and STEM people were trying to build society up, trying to send people to the moon, etc. Now their goal is to just destroy and loot the system of it's wealth and hide away in a bunker while society goes to shit.

So what's the difference between these Silly Con Valley billionaires and marauding pirates? Do they deserve any of their wealth if what they're doing is causing a systemic crisis?

At least when the great depression happened, bankers/economists like Irving Fisher reformed their ways somewhat and tried to rebuild society.

No shit.

Why do you think they are pushing UBI dipshit? Gets them Brownie Points from the left (Avoiding them being labelled Ebil Right Wing Corporatists) and helps sooth over what they see as the automation threat.

What's wrong with that?

Keep consuming and giving us data goys!

Sorry Grandpa it's time to go to the retirement home.

The world is changing fast.

People without education, like 87% of the monthly visitors of this board (survey by vice news), will have a terrible future.

You either learn to like maths and coding or you will be the slaves of those who do. There was a time where you could live on society's edge and not contribute to anything and have a (((decent living wage))) but that time has come to an end.

If you don't obbey the rules of the new rulers of this world, you will live miserably.

The only question is, what will you do

they are not safe from the people who built it lol dumbass nerds

>People without education, like 87% of the monthly visitors of this board (survey by vice news), will have a terrible future.

Proofs?

UBI is a vehicle to governmental slavery and an uncontrollable hyper-welfare state.

Look up 'Riders of the Purple Wage' by Philip Jose Farmer. That kind of society would be inevitable under such a system. Degradation and stagnation of nations and societies to the extreme.

Most white collar jobs are going to be automated too. The only jobs that will be left are trades and jobs that require human interaction.

I MEAN THIS IS BREAKING STUFF PEOPLE

THE ILLUMINATI ELITE ARE PEDOPHILE SATANIST THAT ARE BUYING EXPLOSIVE UNDERGROUND DOOMSDAY SHELTERS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE TOXIC GAY RAYS THEIR AUTOMATION SYSTEMS ARE EMITTING

THIS IS INCREDIBLE STUFF. BUT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK AND TALK ABOUT HOW INFOWARS WATER FILTERS ARE THE HIGHEST GRADE WATER FILTERS YOU CAN BUY. TECHNOLOGICALLY PROVEN TO FILTER OUT ALL THR CHEMICALS AND HORMONES AND BRAINWASH RADIATION IN THE WATER.

I dont care about proof nigga

>muh automation
The most retarded meme ever. What do you think the industrial revolution was about? Hint: It was automation. Technologically speaking, most jobs can already be automated. The jobs that aren't automated are not automated for reasons unrelated to technology.

They have been doing this since the 90s. Not news.

Well, the horses paid the price for that one.

>People without education

A society in which you need a STEM PhD to make a living has no reliable future

What else will the people without jobs do? How will they survive?

>everyone gets a thousand dollars a month
>everything gets even more expensive
>taxes go up to fund UBI and the government
>take the worthless money goy

UBI people can never actually explain how it would work.

>he isnt prepping for the happening
Its like youre trying to die.

are you comparing technology that replaced beasts of burden to technology that replaces people?

A cave is a grave. Let them dig.

actually automation is a good thing it will make it easier and cheaper for someone to start up his own business, thus more competition, also it would be easier to compete against huge AAA companies.
For instance I make video games, before you would have to higher a texture artist, 3d modeler, concept artist and a rigger, sounds expensive right? well not anymore with the tools to day you can higher a 3d modeler to do both texture and 3d art and rig a character, thus making it cheaper for me to start a buisness and create my product, now with the unreal 4 engine out i don't even have to higher tons of expensive programmers to make an game engine. automatation is great for small buisness.

Through the help of finding a job, private charity, and some basic governmental welfare when or if needed.

The first job that AI will be programmed to do is code.

What technology. Be specific. Servos? Neural networks? Censors? Guess what? This technology has been around for decades. Sure, it has gotten smaller, but most jobs don't require microtechnology to be automated. It's not automated for other reasons. Protip: Companies respond to demand and humans aren't demanding the robot apocalypse you retards are imagining.

It amazes me how far-removed most of you faggots are from the real world.

>Survey by (((Vice))) news
>flag

>what will you do?

Probably watch your deformed movement kill all the intellectuals when you realize you can't do maths

Sorry to break it to you OP, but the real reason why the elites are buying doomsday shelters is not economical....it's religious.

Trust me, it's not /just/ the four horseman coming to earth....there's another group of 4 ALREADY HERE!!!!

It was written and foretold millennia ago that during the "end of days" (read the signals, were in the end times as a planet) that the kings of this world will be the Archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel....

What's the alternate if millions of people lose their jobs?
>Through the help of finding a job

Not many jobs left

>private charity

Can this take care of millions of unemployed people?

>some basic governmental welfare

How is this different from UBI? Poor man's UBI?

youtube.com/watch?v=7-GTiaA9h88

if AI can code then AI can kill us all

I'm actually writing a story based on this.

>What's the alternate if millions of people lose their jobs?
How is UBI even an option if you can't even explain how it would work, you're just spouting nonsense

You are saying tech billionaires are buying doomsday shelters and prepare for the societal collapse due to Automation. But you do not provide any Source data or evidence.

What's the point of raking in billions if you're just going to hold up at home jacking off all day? What's their endgame?

AI will be able to code, its some time intensive and formula/math based that its actually perfect for giving to AI as one of the first things to do where the result of the AIs labor will make money as well. AI coding vs human coding will be no different than a computer competing against humans at doing math.

Billionaires should invent pill that increase IQ so when everything is automated, they will give it for free and dumb people will focus on smart stuff and solving problems.

I just googled, " tech billionaires are buying doomsday shelters and prepare for the societal collapse due to Automation." Took me less than 5 seconds and I found dozens of sources.

Hold money till land decreases half way through riots.
Buy up as much as possible via proxy.
Wait for shit to blow over.
Come out with writs and contracts for land.
Promise land and homes for people to serve you as serfs.

Same shit that worked in the past for medieval lords and dukes.

Karl Marx was right!

Why would goods that are produced under fully automated industries get more expensive?

make a geopolitcial simulator of current times, nobody is taking this niche , even faggots from paradox refuse to make it .

it makes no sense, if you are going to make billions but it will cause fall of civilisation then your virtual money are worthless.

Only way to keep billions is to make normies feel like they are treated good while feeding them up with shit.

It works in oil based countries. While there is a group of people with billions $$$, they share very small % of it with whole society so normies are convinced that its all okay and fair. Otherwise they would rebel.

>What's the alternate if millions of people lose their jobs?
ww3 to eradicate 90% of the world's population while the elite live in automated bunkers until the surface is livable again

>Do they deserve any of their wealth

What is it with liberals thinking these CEO's are worthy of their net worth? It's like they're jealous or something.

time to find the blueprints of every bunker being built for my future group of pirate bunker raiders

I'm not a fan of UBI in general, though I read an interesting article which posed it as an option to an alternative to welfare programs.
10K a year. If you make over 25K a year, 5K is taxed.

I have your back user, We're currently making western game great again!!!

>You either learn to like maths and coding or you will be the slaves of those who do
Ha, I'll just make my living suing people like I do now

>automation will eliminate lawsuits
try again, lawfags will be sitting pretty everytime a robot breaks and one company sues the manufacturer/seller/servicer of that robot.

Thankfully, most of my profession cannot be automated. You can get forms from legalzoom or whatever but legalzoom can't write an appeal. .

count me in cap'n

Its all speculation. Their reasons why they build them are unknown. But you have to see it from their perspective. Its like spending a single cent for an insurance to you. They have infinite money why not build some cheap Shelter for a few millions. To have a plan b just in case. But is it due to automation ??

>Their endgame

Their endgame is simple and obvious.

Step 0: loot the system of it's wealth

Step 1: hide in their basement when the shit hits the fan and there's a bunch of unemployed peasants running around.

Step 2: after the dust settles they re-emerge from their basements as part of the post-crisis ruling technocrat class.

youtube.com/watch?v=lcCfkKziWa8

Imagine that jews get extremely wealthy when the federal reserve prints trillions of dollars.

Fan or not you better start liking it because it's inevitable. Machines will out-perform people in every facet of existence. What these nerds are essentially doing is replacing our species.

If you think AI can't write music or paint pretty pictures you're just a retard. Sorry. I hope you like mountain climbing and exploring the world, that's the only thing people will be able to enjoy recreationally that robots can't take away.

This is why Socialism is the ultimate redpill

If I had the money(and I wouldn't get thrown in the bay), I too would build a fully sustainable nuclear powered bunker in NZ.

White collar paper-pushing jobs are the first on the chopping block, boyo. All you need is robust software. Trades and jobs that require physical interaction with customers or materials are much harder to automate, because you need a reliable general purpose humanoid robot with sufficiently advanced AI to handle a variety of tasks.

There is only one reason to build a bunker/shelter like that. Is it all because of automation? Who knows, I think most of it is anticipating a market crash, which you would have to be fucking retarded not to anticipate one at this point. Sometime in the next 10 years the world is going to change very quickly for the worse.

To be honest, society was correcting itself until liberals wanted to import millions upon millions of low IQ/high birthrate migrants.

> Institute a 1 child policy throughout the world (except in places where the population is already declining.)

This will allow the population to level out with the inevitable increase in automation. Problems solved. Not to mention, if the population goes down, the quality of life rises. This can be done peacefully and without any bloodshed at all. It's a realistic way of solving this problem (as well as a possible UBI until we level out the population.)

>STEM majors thinks everything boils down to math and coding for survival

Don't come crying to farmers for food and produce when all you've been doing your whole life is sitting in a computer chair coding while I spend daylight to farm and gardening.

Please, code me up meal.

underrated

Whats up with this automation talk. Media is hyping it like tommorow we wake up all jobs will be taken by robots.

Alright number one

>demanding the robot apocalypse
we will see about that when the first human like sex androids are for sale with a tesla like intellect

do you think the people buuying up these bunkers are going to pay for YOU to live after automation makes you obsolete? you're a fucking lunatic. They don't CARE about you. if they did they would advocate for law changes to take away some of their money

i feel like any billionaire who doesn't build their own fortress is just doing it wrong. i would literally build a small castle with stone walls and a keep as my home. the keep would be teched out and comfortable, but my house would literally be a fortress with a gate house and an outer wall. no need to worry about burglars, zombies, or chimpouts.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm not a fan of UBI in our current state.
I'm actually well aware of the possible future, and I welcome it.
Assuming we don't blast our selves to death in a nuclear holocaust, the future looks bright and shiny to me. I'm a follower of transhumanism.
There's literally nothing stopping the progression, and it will only get quicker once we open the box of bioengineering we've been kicking around. It's been the "next big thing" for the last 50 years.

>learn maths or coding
lol we don't need 7 billion mathematicians or coders

>All you need is robust software.
Wow, did you know that to remove our dependency on oil all we need is a super alternative unlimited fuel source? Lets state other retarded obvious things like they're going to happen tomorrow.

Why wouldn't they?

>infinite consumption
no thanks

Yes they've known for years humanity is ending. The Beautiful People are. Lonely neets locking themselves away from society. Violence and hate running rampant.

youtube.com/watch?v=0Z760XNy4VM

It's almost over and the ones in the know are trying to prepare for it. The ultimate red pill is that the rich evil guys are the ones trying to save humanity.

>McDonalds automates making cheeseburgers

>mfw burger without burgers

>replacing our species
Think long term. What is a tool? It is an object that we use to accomplish a task we cannot do ourselves. We cannot drive nails with our fists, so we use hammers. We cannot run at 100mph, so we use cars. We cannot solve thousands of complex equations in milliseconds, so we use computers. But what if we didn't need those tools to achieve the same result? What if we could do what the hammer the car, and the computer does without external aid? The end goal of machine superintelligence is not to merely do everything for us, but to allow us to become capable enough that we don't need it. The final purpose of AI is to put itself out of a job.

not gonna happen. they build bunkers to avoid the coming war. automation cannot keep up with living organisms. just because some nigger robot can draw good does not make humans replaceable. have you heard the faggoty music robots make? not good. you are misinformed. the gay geniuses who invent this shit know that life is not replaceable by machines. the only thing your bitch ass comment can hope for is genetic manipulation of existing life. this bullshit is a pipe dream. not sure its political either fag. THEY said the same thing when aquaducts were invented. piece of shit fear mongering.

This is a pretty good documentary for anyone wondering if they should watch it

I can't wait for that to happen honestly.

Now we dont have to waste our time feeding those lard asses indefinitely.

because labor costs are eliminated.

there's infinite demand now dumbass.

They also have Underwater Bunkers in some paces. Which are more expensive then the Underground Bunkers.

New KB:

Stop being willfully obtuse. As we speak, machines are doing financial analysis and conducting millions of dollars of trades. They are driving cars. They are diagnosing cancer better than panels of physicians. They are delivering food and packages. It's already happening you moron. Just because the entire economy isn't automated yet, doesn't mean automation isn't a thing. Neither does anything you said invalidate my point. A desk job requires no interaction with physical materials, so it is by definition easier to automate than a maintenance welder job in an oil refinery.

I have a bachelors yet work in the trades, make 35/hr total comp.
no need for calculus or coding. I took physics in hs and did fine. Not all jobs need it.
If you truly work hard which has been lost as people left farming you can still do well.

The rich have been doing this for years. You only need to worry when they start disappearing into those bunkers. That means they probably know somepu dont

o goodness, a braindead religious tardnugget right hyuh

whats happening now?

Fuck off Frank. Post a real source for once in your life.

>Tech Billionaires are buying doomsday shelters

Cool

>because they think automation is going to cause a societal collapse

Speculation. Potential societal collapse is a secondary reason to build an awesome shelter.

you're not the first faggot to jack of to your own lack of creativity either

Removing the struggle from life will be like activating invincibility in a video game. Our lives will become very boring. When AI starts replacing us in art, we'll officially have zero purpose.

All the musical artists you listen to, their music will be cheapened by AI that will use algorithms to replicate their chord progressions, bass lines, even their lyrics. We'll never be able to tell if someone wrote a song with machine assistance and thus the value of art (and the human species as a whole) will be severely undercut.

When genetic perfection can be achieved in a lab, everyone will become perfect. That means no one will be special. Scientists can flip a switch and make humans that are happy 24/7, wholly independent of external stimuli. No more scientific progression for humans, let the robots do it. But why should the robots want to advance scientifically? The end goal of any organism is to reproduce. Blablablabla...

No. No, pretty sure AI will take all the jobs. What you just wrote is incoherent.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha good one

You leftist Reddit tards that think you're going to have a UBI so you can pursue making music or art or whatever the fuck to create your hippy Renaissance are in denial. Automation will be the death of the bottom 95 percent. You will be begging for a liter of old jizz to fill your stomach while you die of malnutrition

>Their endgame

Basically, Peter Sellers explains this far better than I can

youtube.com/watch?v=ybSzoLCCX-Y

yeah that book exists too. in it the doctor gets raped by a retard

no. If I have a billion dollars a 5 million doomsday shelter is called a hedge.
They do see the future eventually all rates will go negative. Broken interest rate market.
We've almost borrowed as much as we could from the future.
A debt clearing would destroy 401ks and cause a civil war. You dont fuck with peoples money so thats not happening.
I feel elites are in race towards the singularity. They will drag these zombie economies out another 15 years till we reach it.

UBI will collapse under its weight as does all communist fiscal policy. The rich will no longer have a need for you, anyways. Their robots will gather all of their energy and food resources for free. Their robots will build their mansions for them. Their robots will build expensive cars for them. There will be no need to keep you alive.

UBI is a universal gibs check to anyone able to breath. A stupid idea based on leftist doomsday scenarios and welfarist ideologies taken up to 11. No man is entitled to money merely for living, especially those who already have it in some manner.

As long as man lives, there will be some manner of jobs to do, and people willing to do them. Robots cannot and will not take everything, and the economy and demand for human workers will adapt with it.

The government should only provide a small cushion of welfare on a need-only basis. For the unemployed, temporarily, for the disabled, and for the elderly. That which is in between can be covered by private charity and local communities. It can either be a trimmed-down version of the present system, or perhaps even a VERY limited Negative Income Tax that replaces it.

you think swede cucks would(PI based in sweden)?
I wonder if they are redpilled, with EU games having cultural maluses for wrong culture.
In a 2017 game would they have a cultural malus on certain provinces in sweden?

>a billionare who can piss away money buys something cool
shocking.

This seems like one of the least sensible doomsday scenarios - I can understand biological / natural / nuclear disasters causing a sudden collapse, but automation seems too slow for society not to self-correct.

If politicians don't curtail the automation for fear of the collapse, where their heads would be one of the first to go, then the rioting populace would.

The benefits of automation are economic, which is nonexistant if it's reached the point where society collapses.

>What you just wrote is incoherent.
If you have poor reading comprehension, maybe.

If we have superintelligent AI that can do everything, why would we rely on them to do things for us, instead of enhancing ourselves to the point where we are as superintelligent as them and no longer need to use them? Adding extra layers of complexity results in extra failure modes. My point is, we will become the AI. And then we can do whatever we want.

You define your own meaning in life, you clown. Just because a machine can make better music than you, doesn't make the song you wrote any less legitimate. Right now, human musicians make better music than you; we don't even have to get into the issue of machines. Does that mean you're going to kill yourself because there is no point in living anymore?
