His current pay package is about $233m/yr. That’s about $112k/day. I think your math might be off. Even if you make $7.25/hr, you’ll make $112k in just over eight years. Still an absurd disparity, but not as far as you say.
BLS lists the median annual salary as $62k. So, he does make more money in a half day than the majority of Americans make in a year. There’s no way any one person deserves that much money.
I recently read Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book about working at Facebork. Among many other revelations (like, her boss pressuring her to describe the blood coming out of her vagina from a post-birth hemorrhage - something so awful I wonder why in the hell I’m even telling this other story) she said everybody there constantly let Zuckerberg win board games. So in addition to everything else wrong with him, that pale-to-the-point-of-translucent tiny man gets to think he’s amazingly good at board games.
To her credit, Wynn-Williams kicked the shit out of him at Settlers of Cataan and then even pointed out to him where he fucked up.
They are probably aware but want to campaign in an effort to change public perception of AI. It will provide less resistance and more opportunities for their company as this gets forced through.
Also, USA lives in a world where someone’s word holds no accountability. All companies/media needs to do is keep pushing how great AI is and people will start to believe it. Facts to support their opinions aren’t necessary. The blowback seen is probably from the minority of people who care about fact checking and accountability.
Their ego is disgusting, every time they open their mouths they are met with disdain and they still don’t get it.
They don’t need to. They’re still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.
They make more than we’ll make in our lives before lunch. Every day.

If you look at the rate of growth of net worth, I think I’m closer than you think.

*each month.
Because this diverges from their day to day and how everyone else treats them. “Surely these students are the ones that are wrong”.

Poor people who act like that tend to suffer social consequences. Like getting their asses kicked.
That sort of thing doesn’t stop poor people from saying shit like that, but it does teach them to be careful about it. Some of them.
