Kinda what worries me. If the elite are the ones in charge of production and we no longer are seen as a way to give them power, then we effectively begin to be seen as useless to them.
I am afraid of the elite or their fucked up kids born into that status using their power to enforce some kinda of pseudo eugenics program where you technically don't have to consent while realistically you do similar to your pseudo slave trade we have going in the US now where for many, they have no choices or options.
Or if they get bold enough where they are controlling the governments as well where they stage wars or fake riots in poor areas with the main purpose being to kill as many as possible to lower the number of "Undesirable" people as much as possible.
None of them I see as being particularly pleasant for most people. Hopefully they make it where no one person or group of people can end up in control of all this or the power hungry will go for it harder than they ever have in politics or finance.
