    Labor-based production is such 20th century thinking. Modern companies don’t try to make products, they try to acquire capital. Intellectual property, industrial capacity, housing, utilities access, etc. Cornering a market is so much more profitable than trying to compete in it.

    Why do you think there’s so much money going into AI? They can’t wait to rid themselves of their human workforce so that humans starving to death won’t affect their production targets.

    If capitalists get their way, capitalism will outlive humanity. Inefficient humans and their annoying ecosystem dependency will be left to boil to death or something while Von Neumann probes owned by AI-managed corporations spread across the universe. Just imagine, one share in SpaceX would be worth several galaxies. You won’t find a better ROI anywhere in the universe!
