I'm just waiting for the new term to replace "job creators" now that the billionaires are all focused on reducing headcount and replacing us with AI and robots.

that they feel the only way they can feel better is to get rid of all the rest of us real humans and replace us with ai robots? Do they believe they will be the ones in control? They do realize they won't be the ones in control, the bots will be.
I just don't get why they hate themselves and humanity in general so much.
