Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Bill Gates hasn't really changed dude. He's just developed a thicker veneer. He's the largest landowner in the US now, because he's been buying up as much arable land as possible. He can say its BAU all he wants, it's incredibly sketchy af. Now in conjunction with this statement, its easy to see where once he cornered the software market, you could infer he's aspiring to do the same with food with full automation.
Michael Burry (guy from the big short) has been doing the same. We all know climate change is going to fuck us, we all know we are headed towards serious water shortages, etc - these guys also know and have money to position themselves - for what final gameplan I don't know, but at least with Gates his recent history has shown a care for the greater good for humanity at least. Can't say the same for other billionaires.
I know Bills history pretty well, I just see a difference between him now and how he was a ruthless businessman in his prior life. Maybe he has me fooled, but I don't really see it other than people's conspiracy theory stuff. Guys like Elon are another story though
