You forgot the part where we’re all dead and they’re using AI to run everything.
People will get jobs coercing ai assistants like the guy in black mirror
Solid argument, but this problem is going to resolve itself because by then the planet will no longer be inhabitable.
Unlimited growth of the economy, more money printing and trickle down economics /s
By that point they can retire to a warm beach. The destroyed economy will be a problem for the rest of us.
They aren’t looking far enough ahead to care.
Their end goal is technofeudalism.
If they replaced CEOs with AI the AI CEO would be smart enough to figure this out.

Once the military and its supply chain is automated, the class genocide can begin.
This right here
Absolutely you can sell the fruits of AI labour to unemployed people. Give them a universal basic income and a product worth spending that resource on and you can keep your 1% profit while the rest is taxed to support the citizens economy. You’ll still be the richest man alive
I think it could work economically. But a world where humans don’t really need to exist to keep the economy going is a little concerning when the economy is the absolute #1 thing governments and the media seem to care about.
But why do they? Why isn’t human wellbeing considered more important? Actually IIRC the UK green party was looking to change that as an important metric.
Question:
How is Big Oil™ going to make a profit when the world is ruined and the population are dead?Answer:
Lol, don’t care. That’s someone else’s problem.Seriously. Why don’t care about long term plans, just short term profits
Of all the jobs, CEO is probably one of the easiest jobs for an AI to replace. AI is excellent at being heartless, gaslighting shareholder, and telling people what they want to hear.
I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE STAIRS BRO
I WARNED YOU ABOUT STATES, BRO!
The capitalists are far, far beyond forgetting how capitalism… works.
Just… Henry Ford, pay your employees enough that wow you’ve grown your consumer base!
This is like macroecon 101 shit.
So, theyre either ravenously delusionally insane, or, they’re openly declaring themselves the new nobility/aristocracy for the neo-feudalism we now live in.
… or both. Could be both.
What if the Top 1%'s solution to climate change is to just keep going until 90% (or more) of the poors die off?
Then you can cut all your production and pollution by 90% (or more)
It doesn’t have to be all at once. Just let people gradually boil, freeze, drown, starve, die of thirst, whatever.
I’ve been making
the oppositea similar point to my friends about growth from the opposite side of the spectrum, that it’s hard to imagine every person in the world a CEO.
