What wealth? The AI industry is probably the most debt-laden venture in the entire history of currency, and has failed spectacularly and repeatedly to demonstrate any viable path to profitability. There's no wealth to take, and there never will be.

Scrap the shit for parts or raw materials then. I'll take $5 and the death of AI data centers any day.

I want the billionaires involved to be disgraced and stripped of their ill-gotten gains as well. Id est, accountability and justice.
