Why would they need money? And exchange for their upkeep labor to get to live in luxury with their families the rest of the time.
Yes, the monetary number would be meaningless. The thing that would have meaning is being able to do and have anything you want, go anywhere you want, and no longer having all those people in there poor people houses glittering up all of the scenic views.
You're thinking in the old paradigm of consumers. Once AI and robotics can take care of the production of any necessities and luxury goods the owners desire the bulk of humanity becomes redundant poors likely to eventually revolt. It would be better for stability, the environment, and their view if the bulk of us died out.
No one needs to. With robotics and AI, as soon as they hit the point where necessities and luxury goods can be produced via automation, they have no need for 99% of the human population. They don't need us to build things or buy things or do jobs or do anything. There's no paradox. Just several billion humans who will soon be made fully redundant.
Other social media is all crowded with an endless amount of humans, and most of them are trash. Here there's only a handful of people so even though we're mostly trash too it's not nearly as built up into stank mountains.
Also the frequent pauses in loading pages here reminds me to do other things.
It wasn't very long ago that people claimed babies couldn't feel pain, animals had no consciousness, etc. Just because a thing isn't functionally like us does not necessitate that it has no ability to feel something like our feelings of pain.
I think I read on a lemmy post the other day that archive.is... kills babies? I don't remember what it was, but that they're bad and shouldn't be used because of the badness.
Nah. Once Robotics catches up with AI and those who own everything can have whatever necessities and luxury goods they want produced without us, the bulk of humanity becomes redundant and unnecessary. They won't need us to buy or build or do anything. We'll just be cluttering up the scenery and competing for resources. It would be in their best interest for the majority of us to die off.
Sort of fucked up to mock any living thing feeling pain and suffering. As our understanding advances and we realize that animals are much closer to us in thought than humans believed in the past we also learn more about other forms of life.
