"means of production". Machines is not to be taken literally, I believe.
Whether people get replaced by AI/ML/Algos for middle-management decision-making, or they get replaced by kiosks and hamburger assembly devices at a fast food hut, there will be the owners of the means of production, and there will be the newly unemployed workers.
The fear expressed by the OP (and me) is over the long run, how will we keep the owners of all that capital and production from wringing out the lower 90% to the point where "snow crash" reads like a documentary?
