When it comes to the economy, some monkey business is going on, but i think you can be more optimistic about the capabilities technology like that unlocks for everyone on the planet.

Being able to control machines just with our voice, we can instruct robots to bake food for us. Or lay bricks on a straight line and make a house. Or write code, genetically modify organisms and make nutritionally dense food to become 1000x smarter or stronger.

There has to be some upsides, even though for the moment the situation with governments, banks, big corporations, military companies etc is not as bright as one would hope to be.
