God like powers are not necessary.

What is necessary are pretty basic killer robots with the capability of determining who is a friend and who is a foe. These systems already exist.

Labor is a commodity that has had a diminishing value in our current, capitalist system. That means, people who rely on their labor(most of us) instead of capital(a few), have control over less and less resources(this is already happening).

With the current trend, what generation of your grand children will have nothing at all?

Or perhaps, they stand to benefit?



I don't see how such robots would be sufficient there and recent trends might mean little over the next decades.
