"Robots will replace all jobs and work for us!" -- Who realistically thought they would be in the "us" here?

Robots belong to companies owned by shareholders, but mostly oligarchs. In their view, when robots work for "them", human population has been culled with 99.9% of the population died by starvation and/or stopped reproducing, and the 0.1% billionaire families survivors enjoy a cosy life where robots do everything.

Until the system crashes and none of these idiots know how to fix anything.

That's one more human extinction scenario to the list…
