Because you're a human capable of empathy and not an emotionless robot? Do you go around killing homeless people because they're "useless"?
And in what way does a bunch of people just enjoying their lives endangers "all of humanity" in a post scarcity society with godlike AI overlords?

neither AI nor our current human overlords have empathy. this is my point. you have to have a purpose to exist. right now it's to consume. why would AI or humans that control AI need someone attached to some vr deep dive enjoying their lives and outputting nothing but waste?

planetary destruction endangers all of humanity. you think AI will solve this? if it does. great. but after that? again what purpose will any one serve if they are strapped up to an illusionary virtual reality and are merely flagellating their own egos? why expend resources for that? they are chaff at that point.

it all just sounds like more religious/cult/ nirvana bullshit with a techno twist. it needs to be backed by common sense and facts.
