But it's already forbiden to throw away

@stux
So good

@stux Buy a car for every day of the week

SRE: But you'd only be giving me enough budget for eleven months of operations!

@stux

@stux I want to buy Villa Certosa from the Berlusconi's heirs, the price is €500M, you still owe me €400M Genie...

@stux You'd just buy real estate and land... easy.

@stux Inflation being what it is, these challenges are getting easier.

@stux but I really want to factor a 1024 bit RSA number!

@stux

/me ~buys~ puts a down payment on a cottage in San Francisco.

Done.

@stux If the challenge is to undertake the obligation, then it is easy: real estate, super yacht, private jet, business, et cetera. If the task is to complete the transaction and take delivery it might be harder because those tend to either have complex purchasing processes or long lead time for delivery.

OTOH you can buy that much on the stock market in a few days, even using online brokerages.

@stux Just invest in an AI startup.

@stux I look forward to this version of Brewster's Millions (of containers).

@stux Take two dozen scientists, tell them that they get as much money as they want for their research project, if they can write a decent proposal. First come first served. Then count the seconds until the money is gone.

@stux With the world these days it will take you over a month to complete the AML procedure with your bank. It will be difficult to convince them that "a genie" suddenly gifted you 100M. And forget about cash transactions.

@stux This is why we haven't seen a modern day remake of Brewster's Millions.

@stux There are other clouds as willing to take your money.

GPU hours are expensive everywhere.

@stux If I remember, according to Brewster's Millions rules, any assets you buy don't count as spending since you still own the asset.

@stux 100,000,000? I can spend that in ten minutes. Just buy a shitload of stocks. Hell, I could buy out several small corporations. Boom, give me my billion.

@stux @celestradiol buy myself a villa outside a major city along with a luxury condo which should be the bulk of it. Then hire a high class cleaning company and sign a long term all upfront contract to maintain both.

@stux so many books.

@stux
I need 3 homes on the water. 2 in Florida and one in the Caribbean, preferably a private island. 4 boats. 3 midsize electric vehicles with solar to charge them and houses. Furnishings. A new pair of cut offs and a couple new swim tops. Fishing gear for friends use.

And a proper Captain for the larger boat, I just do inshore. That should about cover it. Gimmie my billion so I can help others, now.

@stux I mean it's pretty easy to spend that much money. Like browse Zillow and just start buying houses until 100M is hit. In expensive areas, that would be super easy.
