It’s wild that they want to replace the lowest levels of actual work with AI but the management positions that actually might be a better fit for AI replacement are perfectly safe.
An AI, even as shit as they are, probably would be better at being a CEO than a customer support rep.

And finally, when they employ zero people, and no one has any money to buy their product they will have finally hit infinite profits. Seriously though it doesn’t look like we’re doing UBI any time soon and I doubt the ultra rich would kill off everyone on purpose because half the point seems to be to have people they can feel superior too. Are we just going to wipe ourselves out in a weird paperclip maximizer scenario where we pile up a ton of shit no one can actually buy but has to keep being made to make a line go up?

Cool. Cool cool cool. So what’s the plan for all the unemployed people? Just let them starve and die so you can buy their houses? And rent them to whom?
This is the case with most technologies. The technology is world changing, but unregulated capitalism makes it worse than what is being replaced. For example: crypto, electric cars.
