They know climate change is an extremely major problem
And, while they have the resources to do something to prevent it, they chose instead to make the situation worse.
Because they only care about their own well-being, as long as they have their money, stuff and slaves everything else can burn.
What is their plan when we just pour two meters of concrete on the bunker entrances?
Are those things emp proof?
The more important question is: are they very, VERY good boys who like belly scritches and fetching sticks?
No.
Shame. Maybe with a better firmware…
I would expect them to be. It seems like a very obvious flaw if not. Though with hubris more obvious things have been ignored before

That’s the pr line the robotics company says. While mysteriously also having government contracts
Do you know how to build an EMP?
Buck shot, pit traps, or just cages will be lower tech solutions

$300,000 robot dog vs hole with blanket over it.
If I’ve learned anything from robot combat shows is that robots can’t deal with any entanglement device like strings and nets.
You can build a net gun out of PVC, a sprinkler valve, an air gun nozzle, and a net.
Or just get close to it and throw the net on it. It’s not like they’re going to bite you. They’re mobile surveillance cameras.
I’ve always heard that the ceramic on spark plugs, when smashed to manageable pieces, makes excellent material for destroying electronics when propelled by a 12g round.
Never tried it though…kind of curious.
We called those ninja rocks when I was a kid. They break car windows really really well.
Building a pulse seems difficult. Building something that can generate a pulse is manageable.
Drones will be banned soon, so if you have any ideas in that area, you should stock up.
Don’t even need an emp they probably go down with .22
Seems like a well thrown bucket of paint would probably disable those things.
Have you seen the price of paint lately? Mud might be the better option. From the bottom of a latrine.
Resourceful!
Spray foam insulation would be more efficient, and it fits in a backpack instead of requiring a giant cement truck.
It could even be mounted to an RC helicopter if the robodog swarms are too thick…
I need to be protected from millions of angry people.
How about robot dogs?
Won’t they need maintenance?
We will have maintenance people.
Won’t they need power?
We will have a power plant with operators running it.
Won’t we need replacement parts?
We will have manufacturing facility with operators running it.
Won’t we need to house all the people running our infustructure?
We will have build them living facilities and pay them wages.
Won’t they want families and a fulfilling life?
We will provide resources for them to prosper.
Isn’t that called society, you know, the people that want to kill me?
Thats why we have the robot dogs.
They are trying to avoid being eaten when the time comes.
They don’t know how much food I let sit in the fridge and rot to pieces before it gets touched. May the rich rot in their own made hell holes while the world moves on.
Zuck building a bunker for his ex-military head of security who will murder him instantly.
Murder him? Nahh put the explosive collar on his neck with help of the IT guy and make him a bitch boy.
When they all go to their bunkers, we should block the doors and build an equitable society
It would be highly karmic if a natural seismic shift made the island tip or break, sinking his bunker to the bottom of the ocean.
Or an earthquake collapsed the bunker on top of him the day after he went in.
It’s like quuuaaaaakes, on your bunker day…
An island seems a poor choice, especially one in the pacific, if the big one hits.
Even if all is well, any people left are going to destroy or take whatever boat you have tucked away.
That would be the proper end of it was a movie or TV series.
Seriously though. These guys are draining the money from the world, building bunkers, and with the full knowledge the rest of us will burn.
Fix nothing. Save yourself.
People refusing to work for them would put a quick end to them.
They need us way more than we need them. They’re the parasites, we’re the hosts.
If you know someone who works directly under a billionaire’s umbrella, shame them. Make it uncool to work at Meta, or SpaceX, selling Teslas, or Amazon at any level. Make it uncool to work on their yachts, or in their homes, or as their driver, etc.
We DO have the power, we need to exercise it together.
Make it uncool to work on their yachts, or in their homes, or as their driver, etc.
Hang on a sec, some of these jobs come with the opportunity to, uh, do something very cool.
…
I 90% agree with, but given the state of the economy, lots of people gotta pay the bills and finding another job is difficult if not impossible right now. And that’s exactly by design. Not to mention working inside one of these companies comes with the potential for sabotage. Maybe lets not shame people who don’t get the luxury of choice right now.
And of course, encourage union participation as well as any form of sabotage that one can perform that won’t end in the death or harm of innocents.
Making it uncoool is cool, but more importantly, unionize.
The flag is hilarious…
Yeah, the U.S. as a country is way too comfortable with this behavior.
exactly, right
The billionaires are going to bury themselves, you say?
The only satisfaction I’m getting out of any of this bullshit is the knowledge that these fuckers will at best live a few weeks longer than me after it all goes to shit. In that time they’ll have plenty of opportunity to reflect on where they went wrong.
No they won’t. Locking yourself in a bunker is about the worst thing you can do in a major crisis. At worst, you are locking yourself in with your own murderers, at best your supplies will dwindle until you have nothing and die. Real life crisis scenarios prove that peppers are only the haves for about an extra week before they join the have-nots. The only way through hardship is together.

After having pissed off the have-nots by being insufferable selfish assholes…
Build an underground bunker on an active volcano. I see no possible problem with this plan.
There are no active volcanos on Kauai; they are only active above the hot spot which Kauai has been moving away from for about 5 million years.
Hot spots are by nature in constant flux. Kauai isn’t nearly far enough from the main plume to say for absolute certainty that a flare in the mantle couldn’t cause the dormant volcano there to reactivate. At the very least there are seismic events to consider. There was a 6.0 quake about a week ago just outside of Kona. That is plenty to potentially cause a landslide of cave-in on Kauai. These could also cause tsunamis which could cause all sorts of issues for a bunker.

High time to check in again, then
They are not living in reality anymore. There is something within these Techbros that denies consensus reality and substitutes some kind of simulation of their own.
That’s the reason this guy can build a bunker on an island close to the water on a volcano.
There is also some interesting symbolism in there.
They feel the need to hide from the people, because they know they would face the fate of Johan de Witt if the people ever found out what they did to them.
There’s something that happens to your brain when you get lots of money it seems.
Sam Bankman-Fried the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was an effective altruist with a few of his coworkers and their goal was helping people. I was reading up on them and it was initially about feeding people and earning money to give to others. When they started getting more and more money they were like: “what if there’s a zombie outbreak?” Obviously, we’re really smart and society needs people like us to survive so we should be spending money on private islands and having our own country to make sure we can keep humanity going or some shit. It was weird.
Despite what anything thinks about Bill Burr now … I think he had a really good point about these “end of the world” catastrophes – I simply don’t want to be alive for any of them. I don’t wanna be scrounging around the remnants of humanity with a dying ecosystem and dwindling human race.
I agree with Burr’s sentiment. I’ve seriously started thinking about selling my stuff and maybe go a few places to see ppl I care about once more and just exiting when I’m totally broke. Fuck it.
It’s much easier to clog up air intakes than storm an above ground building
Mix bleach and ammonia and pipe the fumes in…
Literally the first thing I thought of.
There’s a book about that: https://rushkoff.com/books/survival-of-the-richest.html
This delights me… to be a fly on the wall of that bunker!
Should he ever use it, he’ll find out that locking himself in with his staff was a massive error in judgment. They will tear him apart.

I’m sure these billionaires have found a solution that makes perfect sense to them.
The collars will be vibe coded by the lowest bidder’s roommate’s nephew and will immediately explode once the doors are closed leaving them effectively stranded inside, helpless to watch on the security cameras as the concrete trucks roll up to seal off the doors…
They aren’t “all of a sudden”. They’ve been bunkering up for decades.
It’s also not necessarily indicative of anything. $100M is nothing for Zuckerberg, about 0.05% of his estimated net worth.
For context, excluding billionaires, your average 42 year old American (Zuckerberg’s age) is worth about $135k*. 0.05% of $135k is about $68.
Given the choice, would you spend $68 to completely cover you just in case the world falls apart? Most people would. I certainly would.
*That still includes some pretty wealthy people that skew it higher, so don’t feel bad if you’re not even close in net worth. I’m sure not!
I don’t know what’s worse. That ~40 year olds are worth so little or that the “$68” is so little of Zuck’s worth.
Definitely the second, the second is 10000x worse.
If someone is only worth “that little” but society provides free healthcare, childcare, education, price controlled utilities, housing, and food, and income security through some form of universal income, and everything was clean and green because billionaires didn’t exist and the extra gold hoarding blood money went into society and making sure the earth would stay safe for humans, everyone would be much better off.
A high net worth isn’t needed when all of your basic needs are covered and billionaires aren’t ramming prices of everything up 2-10x
