The oligarchs haven't figured that out quite yet. They want to starve us out of existence, but still want to pig out at the government troughs. Where is that money going to come from when all the jobs are being done by AI and robots?
they think they can just have robot slaves or humans slaves in thier little enclaves. in almost all cases, fiction media goes, both groups end up rebelling anyways.
The correct answer to the slavery problem is that we, as homo sapiens, enslave the sun. How, that is still a bit of open question... but the seeds have been planted already.
See that's the neat part when it comes to tech oligarchs, specifically. They believe in TESCREAL/Transhumanism so they're aiming to become the AI robots! YAY! /s
trying to be at end of hal9000, where it fuses with the human to become "god-like"
Then we turn them off.
By the time things reach that point, it could be too late. TESCREALists are like planetary eugenicists. You know how Thiel couldn't answer the question about whether humanity should live in that one interview? He's not the only one. Their fantasy of what comes next will never work, but that doesn't mean they won't do unfathomable harm to the globe trying to make their sick dreams come true.
So far ai seems pretty horrified by them,I don't think they will be well received should we actually create real ai.
Their plans don't include money like we have it today
Billionaires today will be long dead before it becomes a problem.
