(Even tho’ imperfect) had the best interests of the people as their guiding light. Now, I believe that those leading (oligarchs) our nation tend to believe that people are not necessary, we’re expendable and serve little purpose aside from consumption. I believe that the powers-that-be really believe that AI will replace most of our (skilled and educated) population with the exception of that requiring non-repetitive physical labor. They have figured out that they really no-longer need a consumer society when they have all the money. So, by replacing the non-essential people with AI, the remaining people will always be fighting to survive. Mostly, fighting ourselves. We are obsolete and a lot of us are supporting this future, knowingly or unknowingly.
