    Just a goofy theory but I’m thinking the (coming) trillionaires just want real-enough “humans” who take up a lot less space & resources for whatever post-climate-genocide world they’ll construct & pretend they “saved” humanity. AI-generated non-people will be good enough for them: they can’t stand the real thing.

    They’ve unleashed the storm, they’re buying their expensive bunkers, & they’ll have far fewer of us to deal with when they creep back out after.

    Or maybe they’ll pass laws that let everyone’s AI doppelgängers spend their money for them! Goofy theories.

    I mean, that IS how they think 🤷‍♂️

      Or, and that’s gonna sound like a crazy theory - they just think, they can make money off of whatever they’re building.

      Look at the track record of Zuckerberg. He’s not a visionary, he just has visions. He’s a manchild who never heard no or criticism. There is no convoluted long term plan. There are just erratic pipedreams that are sold as grand projects for marketing reasons.

        I know, I’m all writing a bad sci fi premise over here. Probably shouldn’t contribute to whatever they are building
