How they give their money hasn’t changed much either. A dozen of the 22 who make this list year after year regularly fund the same causes – often their own family foundations. Donations to foundations increase the amount of money those philanthropic institutions may give away in the future, but that money might not be disbursed anytime soon. By law, foundations only have to donate or spend 5% of the money they possess every year.

(American Express acquired Resy.com in 2019 and gives Platinum holders a tier of “Global Dining Access” reservations that are more exclusive than regular app holders, along with special events, such a “Platinum Nights by Resy.”) At least for the moment, Kessler said, society has found a solution to the hidden markets problem. “Somehow, we’ll give the folks who are willing to pay over here for the Amex, we’ll give them the early reservations. And that’s how we’ll solve this problem … no one seems to complain about that.”
The bigger question seems to be how we got to the point where releasing killer robot drones and bombs that identify and eliminate human targets wound up in the conversation as something that the US military would even consider. Did I miss the international debate about the merits of creating swarms of lethal autonomous drones scanning warzones, patrolling borders, or watching out for drug smugglers? Hegseth and his supporters complain about the absurdity of private companies limiting what the military can do. I think it’s crazier that it takes a lone company risking existential sanctions to stop a potentially uncontrollable technology. In any case, the lack of international agreements means that every advanced militia must use AI in all its forms, simply to keep up with its adversaries. Right now, an AI arms race seems unavoidable.
