> what's the point of owning the factories if there is no one to buy the crap you produce
You produce things you yourself want to consume. Why produce things for others if they have nothing you need?
The only reason there is a need to sell to workers today is so you can pay them a salary to work in your factories, and then take a portion of that for yourself. When you don't need workers you don't need to sell to workers, you just take the entire output for yourself.
Edit: If you can't imagine how someone could consume that much, then think of a golf enthusiast so he tells his AI factories and builders to prepare new golf courses at the same rate he can finish them, so he can play gold all day long and never replay a course.
Basically production will become almost 100% luxury focused instead of median consumer focused like it is today.
