AI-poisoned Y-Combinator pick-me lickspittle throws parade:

Derik Kauffman insists it’s not a joke. He’s actually planning to hold a March for Billionaires in San Francisco this weekend. And he says he’s doing so because he’s opposed to a proposed state tax on billionaires and, more simply, because he feels as if the billionaire class has been unfairly vilified. […]

The point of the event is to “change the sentiment on this to recognize that billionaires have done a lot for us and communicate that we’re glad they’re here,” Kauffman said. […]

He told The Examiner he’s neither a billionaire defending his own interests, nor just acting as a front for the ultrarich. Last year, Kauffman founded an artificial-intelligence startup called RunRL that took part in Y Combinator’s accelerator program.

Kauffman said he’s not in contact with any billionaires or getting any funding from them, nor are there any other groups involved with the event. Instead, he’s footing the cost of the March for Billionaires website himself and is the principal organizer of and publicist for it, he said.
