Beware of Smug Billionaires and their Narcissism
This is interesting.

For years I’ve asked why there is a mountain of empirical research on how the middle class thinks, but almost none on the super‑rich mind, and answered my own question: the people commissioning the studies don’t want the microscope turned on them. They got where they are through nepotism, cultivated psychopathy, and a breezy willingness to do things that would get them blackmailed in any healthy system. We used to need fixers, spies, and Epstein‑style dirt farms to keep that class on a leash. Now we have industrial surveillance platforms and AI agents that can quietly reconstruct a lifetime of bad decisions from databases alone, drawing maps no human investigator could manage. You can threaten a human bag‑man; you can’t threaten a pattern‑matcher.
I figured out a very cheap and easy way to conduct experiments on those players years ago. You don’t need spies or some fancy set-up. You don’t need to be in the same room with them. You don’t even need to break any laws. It was a multi-phase operation and I did it with ease.
But in 2026, we have goobers who think they covered all the bases and are smarter than anyone else. They gather dirt (so did Jeffrey Epstein, but in a different way) and then blackmail them into doing their bidding.
That old-timey way was effective.
And then came in AI.
And you aren’t going to bully, blackmail, bribe, or bluster AI.
It goes in: finds your dirt, and spills the beans…finds patterns, and outplays the manipulators.
So the AI agent that get the goods on an immoral racket can now draw maps, predict if the C-Suite thugs broke any laws, and figure out where else to look.
And if you have a savvy human who knows what to make of that data, well, things go off the rails really fast.
It’s a whole new era, kids.
