Our robotic future. - harm_less - 15-05-2024
This technology article that Tony Seba released in the last few days raises some interesting predictions and is something to seriously consider in the coming years. https://www.rethinkx.com/blog/rethinkx/the-disruption-of-labour-by-humanoid-robots

RE: Our robotic future. - Lilith7 - 16-05-2024
That is extremely scary. I've read a good deal of sci fi & some of it was set in times when robots did all the work, & one where robots were in charge of the legal system; which worked well until a human worked out how to control a robot in charge.
If we weren't such idiots, this could work extremely well, with all humans being able to live well, with everyone having a high standard of living including access to education for their entire lives, being able to develop their creativity to a hgh degree.
But alas, we are indeed idiots, & so we'll almost certainly misuse this situation somehow, probably cause chaos & mayhem & then have to work out a way to fix our stuff up. And in the worst case, we'll probably start a war using the new technology & robots to do our fighting for us, & quite possibly become extinct as a result...
