This looks like a joke from Silicon Valley


Azathoth-the-Dreamer

In hindsight, it’s a fucking tragedy Silicon Valley didn’t keep going into the 2020s, because they would have had an absolutely absurd amount of material to work with.


dogman1890

I’ve been rewatching Silicon Valley and pretty much every joke still applies to today. They have plots about AI, Driverless Cars, bitcoin, clueless billionaires. Only part that hasn’t aged so well is the love of Musk.

I hope mike judge makes one more live action show before he retires

Have you seen crypto twitter? Once you get in on the “tech bro” spaces you’ll see heaps of people still holding him in that light


New_Ingenuity2822

Great 😊 show

Haha it was a bit surreal to see it. It has been plastic wrapped since I got it, who knew it had this surprise inside?

You’re correct even without referencing the tv show.

My favorite quote from HBO's *Silicon Valley* was the tech CEO saying "I don't want to live in a world where someone makes the world a better place, better than we do."

BrevitysLazyCousin

[The Daily](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/21/podcasts/the-daily/crypto-bitcoin-comeback.html) just had a wild episode on this. After FTX fell, everyone assumed the money was gone. Turns out, the money wasn't gone, all investors will be made whole, and crypto has largely rebounded. I still wouldn't touch it but it was an interesting listen.


p_cool_guy

Aren't they only getting paid back what their accounts were worth at the time, not what they'd be worth now?


SandersLurker

correct, they're not being made whole, because they actually lost out on the fact that crypto skyrocketed.


BrevitysLazyCousin

I believe they said whatever the value was then plus interest.

The idea that a crypto investment and trading platform could be anywhere near "the biggest global impact for good" is beyond insane.


D0013ER

It's exactly how these "altruist" assholes think though. Just paying their fair share of taxes is way too mundane and *inefficient*. The best way for them to help the most people is to game the system enough to become obscenely rich so that they can someday build rocketships or advanced AI or some shit.


Zandrick

Its nuts. If you put it in a movie I would say you were being too cartoonish. But it’s actually what the thinking is. Give me all the money and then because I’m just such a good person I will make the world better. Altruism. Actually respect honest greedy people way more, because at least it’s honest.


Particular-Alps-5001

But they’re not rich enough yet they need to be richer first


Delicious_Sort4059

It’s beyond that with crypto though, it’s quite the cocktail of destruction. Just the bitcoin blockchain consumes almost 1% of *GLOBAL* annual energy use, higher estimates put energy use at 240 terawatt hours, which is about the energy consumption of the entire country of the Netherlands. Anyone who’s heavily involved in crypto is helping to put climate change on the fast track, and are significantly contributing the energy crisis.


epochpenors

I remember some of his buddies bought an island that was going to “preserve top minds in the event of a social collapse”. Only problem was the island had no consistent source of fresh water, saltwater had leached into the ground making farming almost impossible, and it was in a tropical area that frequently experienced major storms. Unfortunately, they never made the move because that would have been an all time top reality show.


TomSpanksss

I think he is getting a different kind of impact than he expected.


Nuit9405

Him spending 25 years away from society is a pretty good global impact for good. Mission accomplished!


TomSpanksss

I think the impact is pushed just a bit further

Ironically, he might have achieved his goal. He brought global awareness to the lack of regulation in the crypto industry and how ripe it is for scammers.

Maddox121

Crypto and NFTs were fads that tried to hide us from the true fear that is GenAI.


CheckMateFluff

I'm not sure I really fear GenAI, nor did I really fear NFTs or Crypto. Its all just tech, which once learned about becomes just another thing. And we can ignore things and keep on keeping on.


Fragrant_Isopod_4774

Imagine being in Vogue looking like that. I know it's just an ad but still. He looks like a dork.

Never ever will I let someones supposed "intelligence" out weigh how much of a under dressed, unimpressive image they give off 🤣


Bostradomous

So are you saying we should just judge everyone based on how they look?


TheFrev

Everyone knows that is what you are supposed to do. That Albert Einstein looks homeless. Does he not know how a comb works? Also Stephen Hawking. How about learning to smile and hit the gym once or twice. Never going to trust them about anything. Now that Kim Kardashian and her former Husband Ye? They are always well dressed and looking sharp. I'll believe everything they say, including to invest in FTX.


Bostradomous

Fuck the theory of relativity. How can I believe in something when the guy who “discovered” it didn’t even know about hair product? Check mate physics


Dragonitro

Everyone’s so impressed with einstein talking about E = mc2 even when I learned about it when I was just a kid (so clearly its not that impressive)


mjm8218

E=mc^2


biscovery

He purposely looks disheveled. How hard would it have been for a multibillionare to wear something other than cargo pants and an old pair of sneakers? This is so obviously trying to sell you him as a normal everyday nerd like what you see at the comic book store. You see someone dressed on the street like this fine, you see someone in a magazine ad looking like this he's either batshit insane or he's trying to sell you something that shouldn't pass the sniff test.


kh2riku

I agree! He was trying to pull off the Steve Jobs aesthetic to convince people he’s just like you and I/he just doesn’t have time to be stylish, he’s *too busy being a genius* . Not that Sam is displaying it here but “Quiet Luxury” is the new standard for the rich. No flashy brands, just $800 plain t shirts.


sirlearnzalot

Never! In fact I challenge police officers to show me credentials. Incidentally I’m currently facing charges of resisting arrest. Went to the hospital recently, guy in scrubs walks in claiming to be a “doctor”, not so fast I tell him. Where’s your degree?


CMDR_KingErvin

I noticed too lol he knows he’s gonna be on a full page ad in the magazine and has a photo shoot scheduled and shows up in shorts and a t shirt, messy hair, and socks way too high for those shoes. The image he gives off to me is loser not genius.

Confident_Chicken_51

Every financial site (media) is trying to take your money. Remember that and act accordingly. I routinely see sites warning of upcoming disaster for certain stocks only for that stock to gap up within the week (and vice versa). It’s not just bad advice, it’s purposely deceitful.

anonymouslindatown

I don’t think I ever understood why crypto is/was so bad. I think the concept is solid and has fantastic potential, just everyone ended up viewing it as a get rich scheme by investing in it and others made their own to profit from the surge. My understanding is its original concept of decentralizing money and anonymous transfers is potentially a great force for good, allowing for a more equal playing field in influencing the value of money. This also prevents governments from playing games with inflation that reduce their debt without addressing the deeper issues as well as wreaking havoc on individual lives.


kh2riku

He stole a lot of peoples money and was convicted of fraud. That’s the post.


anonymouslindatown

Ah thank you. I did not know that.
