My question was always: suppose they reach their goal and half of the jobs gets replaced by AI in the coming years, who do they expect will buy all the shit they sell if half the planet is out of work? Cause that’s all they do, sell shitty products and services.
The richest 10% represent the absolute majority of consumer spending in this country. That share will simply increase. Ask the guys living in tents in the park if the market always finds uses for surplus labor.
You’re almost there, but you are getting hung up on everything staying the same except for elimination of half the workforce. The end goal has nothing to do with money.
They don’t care. They’ll sell surveillance of the poors, and weapons that use it, to governments and corporations. They’ll have everything already, and the goal then will just be to keep it that way by force.
