A comment on Silicon Valley’s Ultimate Exit (2013).

Why are SV "big shots" so obsessed with making their own little la-la land fiefdoms (Who actually wants AI/tech to run their country? Like, that is literally an apocalyptic nightmare of mine) instead of contributing positively to the country that helped foster their fortunes?

This is some of the most myopic, ego-stroking bullshit I think I've ever read on this site.

Also the sooner ridiculous "code=law" analogy goes away the better. It's clear this person has very little understanding how affairs of state actually work.

Did you read the article? It explicitly discusses using 'voice' or 'contributing positively to the country' as option #1, and 'exit' as the backup in case the former is ineffective.

If you think their vision of the future is nightmarish, you don't have to do anything. Just stay where you are.
