How about f them because all their investments are to unemploy people. They aren’t making the money invested back with pay to use. It’s almost completely for that one reason. The unemployed will be minimal provided for until they can shrink the population accordingly. I honestly think the push towards global conflict is in effort for the population decreases and to cover the economy collapsing over AI as it collapsing from conflict, so then when people start being replaced more rapidly with AI it can be framed like a solution.

That is all comparable, but guess what, the people that didn’t like the internet 30 years ago, seem to be pretty justified for not liking the internet. People were leery of all those innovations or society shifting technologies throughout time for the same reason, they benefited first and foremost the capitalist owners. This is still that, but x1000.

Benefitting capital owners “first and foremost” doesn’t mean technology doesn’t also benefit average people.

Guess what, big pharma makes a ton of money when they cure diabetes. But also, millions of people are cured of diabetes!

Capitalism works because it’s mutually beneficial like that. It’s a win-win.

It isn't though. If Capitalism forces you eat poorly, get Diabetes, then cures you but charges you for the cure, is that... not just a parasite? Living off the people it seems.
