By leaving 70% of the population out of the economy, based on the strength of the AI surveillance to keep them from being uppity.
Larry Ellison: “Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on."
Note that “their” best behavior, not even “our” best behavior. Explicitly this is something he sees as needed to be inflicted on others in order to have the future he imagines.
So with enough surveillance and enforcement, the rabble is kept out and maybe they can fend for themselves if they feel like it, away from the owner class reaping the benefits of what they have done.
In theory of course, I suspect ultimately this round of AI will fall short of their dreams of eliminating dependency on the labor class.
If you drive people to the edge of having nothing to lose, in mass, then all yoie surveillance is good for is makingnhistorical recordings of the masses as they tear down your tower with their bare hands.

Problem with Larry’s premise.
That relies on the fear of losing everything.
