Yhe best thing to be in a collapse scenario is the random who minds their own business and gets shit done. Nobody is gonna trust the glory hound with an overly inflated ego, but the dude who just wants thing organized so they can start manufacturing tools is probably the most trustworthy.
That’s why they bought basically all of Lānaʻi: the whole island is their bunker, and it’s got a 9-mile-wide moat just to the nearest other Hawaiian island, let alone to North America or Asia.
Lānaʻi itself, probably. It’s got a ridiculously low population density and the entire island used to be the world’s largest pineapple plantation. Also, fishing in the surrounding waters.
Annoyingly, it’s a pretty ideal solution to that issue, too.
It’s like the billionaires that build huge apocalypse bunkers and plan to staff them with servants and private military contractors…
If the apocalypse hits the staff would mutiny in days/weeks.
I think that’s why there’s such a big push to AI. The rich know slaves eventually rebel. And Skynet while possible is less likely than a slave revolt.
That would never happen to spez because 'I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”

They have plans for that like making their security guards wear disciplinary collars. I’m not kidding.

Where is there food going to come from?

Fish, plankton, sea greens, and protein from the sea.
