boner confessor posted:this is very likely to be the case I think you overestimate rich people's egotism. Many of them, like us, are worried about the end of the world or massive societal upheaval and have the resources to prepare for it. Google "rich survivalist" (sorry, phone posting) and you'll see gated communities made for the rich to live out the apocalypse in luxury. Sure, if society collapses their lives will take a massive hit in quality but I think plenty will sacrifice their purchasing power for the sake of their survival. Besides, how many poor people does one need to lord over? You don't need billions, a few lackeys, a fool, maybe some slaves or a harem will do. Everything else would just be a faceless mass of usless eaters.

Blue Star posted:In 50 years, maybe we can have robots that can do some chores around the house, MAYBE. But actually being as smart as humans is centuries away, imo. Umm, we already have them now? You know, washing machines, dishwashers, garbage disposals, Roombas etc? We also have plenty of instant food, like hot pockets and TV dinners, made in highly automated plants. I know it's not as exciting as having your own Rosie the Robot, but automation already does many household tasks.
