Alan Turing was one of the foundational minds behind computer science, arguably the most influential field of scientific research of the last 100 years. His treatment? He was discriminated for being gay until he was driven to suicide.

Aaron Swartz was one of the most important freedom of information activists of our times, helping establish Creative Commons as well as several open web standards like RSS and Markdown. His treatment? Faced 35 years in prison for trying to make some academic papers freely available, driven to suicide as a result.

Elon Musk started out with money from his father's emerald mine, lucked out on some investments, lied out the ass about how amazing a gamer he is just to then stream himself playing and using the game's UI like he never even held a mouse in his life before that stream, chewed all the wires in the backend of several US government institutions as part of DOGE, openly sieg heil'ed at trump's inauguration (whom he got elected trough election interference so blatant that Putin's election interference seems subtle by comparison). His treatment? Treated as a visionary genius.

Sam Altman co-founded OpenAI, a company very blatantly taking a piss on copyright law, training AI models on copyrighted material without permission, burning ungodly amounts of resources just to run a chatbot that can't even count the letters in a word. His treatment? Treated as a visionary who took bold risks that paid off.


If you see people fed the fuck up with this world, **THIS** is why. Contributions to society are punished, but lying, cheating, and stealing to further your own end at the expense of society is rewarded. And do we even have some karmic retribution for any of these cunts? Very rarely. Sam Bankman-Fried was also treated as a philanthropic visionary until the whole FTX-Alameda Research scheme became public and he was prosecuted for the ungodly amounts of fraud he was responsible for. But besides him, who else can you think of who got in trouble for the shit they did?
