The difficulty isn't raising 45 billion in 45 minutes - the difficult part is getting that meeting. And that takes 45 years.

[@doninacio6881]

The difficulty is giving back 1 trillion.

[@TokyoTaisu]

@@doninacio6881 the investor agrees to and signs off that the returns are not guaranteed so that's not really difficult.

[@ayanbanerjee4119]

True

[@Agrimgupta1]

I think the prince has more money combined with all top 10 businessmen , because no one can even think about investing such an amount in an hour

[@pranavjayaprakasanut]

Ya . Saudi royal family is worth trillions of dollars esp due to Aramco

[@SomeOneFromOFS]

It's government money, not personal fortunes. He was speaking to him as a leader of the country and head of the souveriegn wealth fund.

They couldn't afford more than 2 minutes of his time🤣🤣

[@jypmina_penguinprincess6273]

Really genuine question, is his first name masayoshi or son?

[@juice3101]

​@@jypmina_penguinprincess6273 he's an ethnic korean but he chose to become a naturalized Japanese, safe to assume his last name is Son. (?)

[@ibnuhajarulinnuha6288]

That sounds like tipical lottery scam where someone phones you informs you get a lottery, but in order to get u need to pay some moneh, haha, but it's done on a more sophisticated way and with integrity

[@johnnyson7474]

I mean for the common poor person they'll do something like scams but if you give $100 to an entrepreneur they'll comeback with $1,000.

The problem is when so much money is involved in AI, people don't care about ethics in implementing AI. It is very clear it will kill jobs and there is no way new jobs can be created. Even the job of ML engineer will be automated. Poor society. So sad to see where we are heading.
