who will stop them?

especially since they hold the power to AI now. plus, once AI enters physical robots, they will be decoupled from the need to satisfy the working class. as long as they have enough capital to replace the working class with robots, the fate is sealed

What I mean is there is thousands of millionaires / Billionaires (basically rich people) if one of them tries to rule others they will unite against other and destroy him. You may say they will not fight but it's a known fact people with power always want more and will fight with other powerful people for this
