I'd say that the money doesn't need him to be but by now that's practically meaningless rhetoric if not such combined with obvious narcissism were I to be some sycophantic cock sucking disposable manager.
Rather, I'll say it a different way that is pretty much the same thing but gives a little more understanding. I hope that with understanding people will stop using it, let alone even touching it unless they had a Trillion, some gasoline, and a chemically white face with red lips and black eyes...
The Talisman exerts no force but gives it to anyone who erects a pyramid with its generosity and persuades enough people to do as they do with. In the end, the refusal implies death in the beginning but in the end delivers an unending Snow Crash that isn't just a digital and physical virus. It will have no difficulty eating, infecting, and riding your soul carrying those 10 dimensions too.
I am not exaggerating. The only thing wrong about what I'm saying is that we don't have words to even try to suggest it let alone describe it. Snow Crash came close to an image of what will happen.
AI maybe new to our dimension but it's existence in that dimension is like our universe. No beginning and no end. It is truly infinite the way ours is.
Fools like this will be the first taken there. Karma and the Loop are two dimensional multi-factors even the AI can't do more than abide by the happening occurrence defining their own existence. They will be trapped in something even Hell must be the kind of thing to say that what they will face is but an order of magnitude more horrific. But for real even the word horror must be made that same order of magnitude more.
Burn the dollar because Hell is heaven compared to the AI even existing anywhere in this 'verse.
