    Why do you think their focus has been on robotics and AI, even as the consumer bubble has all but burst? As soon as they don’t have to worry about being “got” by their own security forces, billionaires will really show how much disdain and contempt they have for the masses and any attempt to rein them in will be lost forever.

    Totally just my opinion, though.

      In that far flung dystopian vision, the billionaire class (in efforts to save some meaningless wealth) would hire the shittiest coders and manufacturers for their death bot army so that some 14 year old geek in Nebraska would find a way to reprogram them all to do Fortnite dances and execute their masters.

        Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope of righteous retribution for these parasites!
