    Just wait until 2050, when the handful of remaining hyper-mega-conglomerates form a single capitalist hydra and decree “the only option to the planet dying from our obscene consumerism and overconsumption is to genocide the poorest 1 billion”… and they’ll have a 56% public approval rating because all murders are conducted using fully autonomous killbots, so we don’t have to sacrifice our children.

    And in 2060 it’ll be the poorest 5 billion.

    And in 2070 it’ll be the poorest 99%.

      That won’t happen. They love the ultra poor because they are so economically desperate that they can make them do anything by dangling a few pennies in front of them.

        I chuckle every time someone says that AI is going to take all the jobs. Ok, so are the AI going to buy all the products?
