The amount of investment being put into Ai makes no sense until the end goal is replacing—not supplementing—replacing ALL labor. That is what Musk is talking about. Whatever you do today to make money eventually will little to know value because all labor will be performed by intelligent machines. This is what they are aiming for, whether you believe it will happen or not.

This is a scenario my nephew and I talked about decades ago, but I have a darker take on it.

Yes, machines will eventually be able to do pretty much everything people can do, and we will need very few people to manage the machines.

The rest of humanity will be a parasite class, and over time, the leadership is going to wonder why they put up with these "useless eaters."

And that doesn't even consider if the machines decide to get rid of the people!

People should have some serious misgivings about the direction we are going. It's not like we haven't had many movies (Like Terminator) warning us about what could happen.

Exactly! And it’s not like they haven’t said that’s what they’re gonna do. The George guide stones, WEF, everybody who’s anybody in that world constantly discusses getting rid of 90% of humanity. They’ll pay everyone a high universal basic income for a brief period of time until they unleash some lethal plague. You nailed it. If they don’t need us for any kind of work, the operant phrase is that they do not need us.
