Short term profit.

I think they plan to just sell yachts to each other at the oligarch level.

It's UBI, and no, UBI is not a real socialist plan. It keeps the rest of us poor with little possibility of social mobility.

I'm guessing they will lobby th government to give out credits. They will then trade materials with each other, allow the masses to just starve and die off. They don't actually want money, they want absolute power.

They only need us to make stuff. Once we are redundant, they won't care about selling (to us)

Getting rid of money and having a heavily stratified society with the current wealthy at the top. Like a cheesy SciFi premise but realized here to live in.

if ai replaces all jobs then there is no need to have money since everything will be available in abundance

They've already made a shitload of money. Now they're consolidating their extreme privilege into violent political control.

And when bubble pops, the rich will be paid immediately via an inflation tax on the poor as per usual...

Scrub the palace floors... Fight amongst ourselves.... Froth at the mouth about the scapegoats they've chosen for us...

Edit to add: I should probably recommend State Lottery by Propagandhi, from which I lovingly stole these lines.

Slavery.

Climate change has made large parts of the Earth uninhabitable.

Now civilization is collapsing and the remaining humans are fighting for their very survival.

Now the companies that destroyed the world have neither raw materials nor anyone to produce or buy their useless products.

What is their plan to make money if there is no longer any social order and therefore no trust in currencies?

The wealth doesn't disappear, it just ends up concentrated.

Goods and services will just be something most people will no longer be able to afford, and they go into poverty. Business will reconfigure to support the lifestyles of the very rich at prices only they can afford, because that's where the money has gone.

Things will get so expensive, people will have to sell their assets (i.e. house) to be able to resist poverty. People without assets won't even get that parachute.

If we don't reverse this concentration of wealth, 99% of people will be living in slums before long.

The fact AI is going to hoover up everyone's job over the next couple of decades, is really just a continuation of a trend we've been seeing since the 80s: the rich are taking all the wealth and leaving none for us

Thats the fucking crazy part, they simply can't plan long term because they will be outcompeted by people only planning short term and that can't be allowed.

Besides, if the bourgeois automated every job they'd just kill us so that we stop being a problem

The greedy would be considered mentally ill if logic could dictate. They care more about what they own than how others think of them. They can't take it with 'em.

isnt that the plot of wall-e

the ouroboros dance of capitalism will invariably lead to its own demise.

its up to us to kill it before it devours the habitable biosphere we need to like, exist and shit.

Next step in the capitalism game; own the people.

I see that 4chan has got as far as recognising the dichotomy between short-term and long-term gratification. They are evolving faster than I thought possible. Perhaps by 2050 they'll have advanced as far as common courtesy. Well you never know.

The plan is billionaires sell to each other

Tax any form of automation, be it software or hardware, and pay everyone a universal income from it.

Soylent Green.

AI is propped up by investors. Always promising the.next big thing is just around the corner. The money is pouring in from other wealthy people...let's be real us common folk rarely if ever pay for AI. Its businesses doing that

but one day those investors will expect a return, so AI is being shoved in everything in the hopes of finding a use case that is actually profitable
