alt Hacker NewsWhat kind of political leverage do the useless have? This isn't a realistically sustainable outcome.

And then we'd better hope AI has respect for property rights.

Apathetic mass-murder is unjustifiable, and the ultrarich would need to justify it to their families, who would then need to justify it to other people they know, and so on. And remember that we're talking about the majority of the global population, an event like that couldn't be hand-waved away like one would do for a minority group.
