If "50% of all jobs will be completely eliminated in two years" comes to pass, then there will be a violent contraction, perhaps even a total collapse, of all advanced economies. In this eventuality, the venture capitalists who funded the rise of AI will lose their money.

If a large percentage of jobs have not been eliminated in two years' time, it will be because AI has largely failed to deliver on its boosters' predictions. In this eventuality, the venture capitalists who funded the rise of AI will lose their money.

What's the end game for these people?

The desirable end game is somewhere there in "a large percentage" - e.g. if they can realiably automate 5% of jobs each year, theirs is the Earth and everything that's in it.
