- AI will replace all human workers if it surpasses human capabilities at lower cost, leading to a permanent underclass with no social mobility.
- The wealthy and corporate owners (permanent overclass) are also vulnerable because they become economically unnecessary and can be expropriated by the state when conflicts arise.
- Governments themselves will be replaced by AI due to faster decision-making and superior intelligence, leaving humans as ceremonial or obsolete.
- Even perfect AI alignment does not preserve human autonomy, as humans become dependent on vastly more powerful machines with no real control.
- Equity in AI companies or property ownership will not protect anyone from eventual disempowerment by machines and the state.
