My final solution to the software industry: lock developers in cages with an unlimited supply of pizza and coffee, and give them each one of these equipped with 4GB of RAM, a spinning HDD, and a 10mbps internet connection.

The answer is:
“Mostly other humans. The real question is whether future humans can keep making enough money to convince everyone not to panic.”
* wheeze*
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have several sovereign debt instruments to sell to the Elcor. They take a very long-term view of investments.
