I mean there are a lot of paradoxes around AI. The chief two among which are:
1. the goal of ai is to end capitalism by disrupting scarcity in economics
2. if ai can build a closed system that prints ai factories, the 99% of humanity essentially are just genetic diversity live stock.

I don't think the ultra-wealthy care about genetic diversity.
Come to think of it, if an ASI figures out how to crack biology, genetic diversity may not even need to come from a giant human population.
Why 99% and not 100%?
Because pending an absolute loss of control of a super intelligent model, the ultra wealthy have enough control of the matter on Earth to merge with the AI, probably.
I think that having control over ASI is an oxymoron.
