    More likely scenario:

    People vote politicians who’ve been bribed to use taxpayer money to fast-track research into ways to enable AI to make people dependent on corporations while keeping the people docile and then squeezing them for all their money which is then used to enable the lifestyle in the comic for the corporation top knobs while keeping the wage-slaves free-market-empowered labourers too fed to die but too hungry to think about anything other than being grateful for the scraps they are allowed by their AI-fuelled overlords.

    So basically the status quo, only now with AI. Yayy.
