    Nope. This can keep going on. Big businesses with all the capital will continue doing trade exclusively with other big businesses and government. They don’t need our money anymore. And it’s not like we’re really going to have any trivial amounts of money anyways.

      There is zero evidence that this supposed AGI can actually maintain itself, let alone it’s owners.

      If they trade goods with each other, but leave us to starve and die, they eventually won’t be able to buy food, coolant, maintenance, ANYTHING with their fake money.

      I don’t see anything that can work in the real world yet.

        They’ll have their own teams of people catering to them. 99% of the population is now no longer needed

      And what does that money represent anymore at that point?

      Seems too many have forgotten that its the peasant’s labor that gives money any value.

      Money doesn’t produce anything.

      What’s the value of a dollar if it can’t buy you bread?
