A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Exactly. Mastodon supports polls so what the heck?
The author said they wanted maximum accessibility, so they didn't opt for a particular platform's voting system.
Can't even vote without a Google account.
Undoubtedly going to be Elon Musk vs Jeff Bezos
I think Thiel is worse for the world. Elon musk is more show and shine - and crumbles spectacular anyway
Absolutely. The amount he donated to conservatives and far right politicians have more real world impact than clown Elon.
If the test is "how much better the world of 2023 would be if someone went back in time and murdered their father before they were born" it'd be either Thiel or Bezos. Probably Bezos.
If the test is "this guy just makes my skin crawl" then it'd have to be Altman.
I gotta admit I can't really be too angry at Elon. He fills me with too much joy. Every time one of his rockets blows up and his little army of sycophant morons cheer, it just is such a great time I can't even. He's just a funny man. Like he's a clown like he's here to amuse me. How can anyone not like that?
Elon shouldn't be in this chart, too easy to win, makes the championship not interesting.
Like if Vegeta super Saiyan participates in an high school karate tournament
Elon shouldn’t be in this chart, too easy to win
One would think, but with both Thiel and Bezos in the competition this isn't as cut-and-dry as you'd assume. Thiel especially is fucking evil, he's way worse than Musk
I live in Washington State, home of Amazon, and id wager more here hate bezos than anybody else on this list
But thats just because he is the most well known (and most annoying). If you were to look at the things they have actually done, bezos and Thiel are probably much worse
It is difficult to quanitify the damage Musk has done lately. It isn't so clear cut as paying for sweatshop labour or stripping employment rights but he has done a great deal of difficult to define social or cultural harm by empowering fascists and using his public image to endorse fringe conspiracy theories

Curious why people voted Altman over SBF?
Probably because SBF is going to jail anyway so the case seem "settled".
AI is the big, bad boogyman on Lemmy. Unreasonably so.
Not only here, I'd say
It helps that a lot of people don't have a clue what they're talking about.
The way people complain about AI is the same as others complain about immigrants.
AI is both terrible and useless, and also going to take everyone's jobs.
What has Marc Anderseen done to be on this list? I must be out of that loop.
He's a shameless crypto shill.
He also said that maybe India should let the British run them again.
That will do it.
He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto. In fact, he cites Marinetti as an inspiration, who was founder of the futurist movement, and later author of the fascist manifesto and a close supporter of Mussolini, so no surprise I guess. He enforces ideas that this century is just a bad rerun of the previous.

I remember reading this...its disgusting!
Marc Andreessen is too low there.
Musk is a clown that says vile and stupid thing. An useful idiot for others Silicon Valley VCs.
Andreessen and Thiel (and too some small extent Luckey) are in the background trying to push for far right libertarian dystopia.
Andreessen is the guy who kept pushing for web 3.0, trying to dominate it before it becomes big, so that he can monopolize / become a new digital libertarian govt, but of course it got hijacked by scammers, and states like Russia or North Korea, but he doesn't give a flying fuck.
Thiel of course is far right financier. There's a reason why they try to hide in the background.
I don't like what Peter Thiel has invested in (Stripe and Palantir). Elon Musk is ceo of a few companies that actually try to create interesting stuff, it's better than actually funding collection of data.

Wait where’s mark zuckerberg
Lost to Peter Thiel.
That seems like one that would go down to the wire. Mark Zuckerberg essentially is responsible for genocide.
Oh! So he did. The internet is always right.
