>I think you wayyyy underestimate how quickly technology will fall apart once the oligarchs come out in the open.
They certainly aren't going to give up on machines, because transhumanism. First you do the society, then you do the people, it's the same concentric circles approach https://pic8.co/sh/3sPsRD.png
>With a bunch of idle hands doing bupkus being fed either they'll be tossed out into the fields to do the work the busted machines were doing - or they'll be killed off wholesale.
Do you repair your tv set these days? Your phone? Your laptop? No you don't, you change it, that's all
Yeah. That's true of many of the machine. The machines that make the machines? Not so much. If you think the 6nm chip factories will keep working when there isn't enough of an education system left to sift out the bright people capable of working with and repairing them and all the parts, or enough of an economy to make it worth the effort to reach that level of expertise, well, hey.

Hmmmm... I wouldn't bet the caravan on that...
If there's one thing I've learned over the decades when it comes to machines, is that there's no safe. What at some point is deemed unthinkable one day becomes a thing. There certainly is a limit to it, with current chips and architectures, but who said those chips and architectures are the last stop in terms of evolution of machines? I come from an era where amstrad was a brand building computers
I think you're too finely focused on "chips and architectures". That's in no way the be-all and end-all of technology. Beware of what you don't know that you don't know.
