Or they'll do like a lot of AI's biggest experts, and work for a large but reasonable salary in a research lab.
The world's first trillioaire may be an AI. Actually I though the Rothschild's had already reached that point.
In regards to the trillionaire idea: Does this guy even know who the Rothschild's?

The idea of meta programming has been around longer than I've been in software but perhaps this time it's true. Only time will tell.

In many conceivable scenarios, the AI trillionaire's riches will represent a transfer of wealth from millions of people whose jobs got eaten by algorithms and automation. If AI is going to deliver maximum benefit to humanity, we should probably think of the ascent of trillionaires as a negative outcome.
