    It’s pretty technical and I forgive you if you’ve never heard of it, the term is “investment scam”.

    Wasn't there also a "name a star" scam going on at some point?

      @thomasfuchs Just read a whole book on the weirdo beliefs belying these types of things and I gotta say I think some of the billionaires saying them actually believe the dumb shit they're pretending will work.

      But almost certainly a portion of it is "if you cannot dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with bullshit"

          @thomasfuchs Wait did someone actually float the idea of a Dyson sphere? And they pretended to be serious?

            @thomasfuchs If you believe in AI data centers or 180km long cities in the desert, I have a bridge to sell you.

                @thomasfuchs

                yeah, but in the 90s they were niche companies, the economy wouldn't care if they'd be gone
                but today, oh boy, today, it's the top 3 companies on the planet involved 🤯
