Imagine being able to self the software for autonomous murder drones that know who to target when the time for a cleansing comes.
A cleansing that deems people who are and are not beneficial to society.

Consider the middle ages and other historical uprisings when those in power or with wealth were targeted.
You ALWAYS have to consider if your private guard will turn on you or be murdered.

Now, you're in control of the software the murderbots can run on, you hold the data that others need to maintain the status quo. In global system that runs on fiat currency with most of that wealth held up in bubbles, with mass debt for every country. You betya that's a trillion dollar idea.
