> A higher score than some other rich douchebag destroying lives for fun?

I mean, yeah, I think this is mostly it. Its gamification.

At the top level they all have more wealth than they could ever possibly use, even accounting for many generations of offspring.



In large part, but I also suspect its about consolidation of political control...we are making our own permanent oligarchy.


> we are making our own permanent oligarchy.

Attempting to, and might get away with it for a while.

But I suspect next time there is an inevitable "equal but opposite reaction" the guillotine plans will be optimized using LLMs with shared open sourced designs.

(And in the current political environment, I think I should clarify this isn't me threatening violence -- I don't want violence. It is me recognizing that history "rhymes" while the rhyming patterns tend to happen on a faster and faster pace)
