Contra the article, the rich in Silicon Valley very much know those poorer people exist. They're the maids, cooks, landscapers, restaurant workers, car detailers, construction crews, etc. They're not invisible. They exist, just not - to their clients or customers - as people. Replace them with robots, and the millionaires will only notice a difference in cost or service levels. The idea that somebody's livelihood just went poof is of no consequence to them.
