Probably not very different… since we basically have this in the form of insanely rich billionaires and multi-hundred millionaires, who basically exist in a life where they are divorced from everyone else and they don’t care about “us” … their money just compounding its growth automatically because they passed the tipping point where it’s hard to (other than deciding to do some crazy expensive thing like buy Twitter) spend their money faster than it comes in… I mean sure it might be a little different since an AI won’t eat or sleep, but when the heavily computerised economic activity involved in global investment and banking is already not sleeping and a sort of diffuse collective intelligence… yeah I’m not sure how different it would be unless we’re talking humans they would have to literally let the AI starve people for whatever reasons it may have… I feel like the odds of “communist revolution” type activities, where the workers seize the means of production, is probably higher for ephemeral AI overlord then for flesh and blood bosses and capital owners.
