Robots, the new slavery?
-
Will we have "minimum wage" robots? Do all robots, regardless of task, get paid the same wage? Will there be robot unions? I suspect there will be activities for a given robot (on duty) that are "too hazardess" (e.g. EMPs), and we will need to send in humans.

Like I said there are many problems with the original supposition and no way to defend them. It wasn't my suggestion and I am not going to attempt to defend what I consider utter fantasy in many different ways in the first place.

Got the sense some thought this was a good idea; the start of another "grand plan". Note that it always involves having to do "less work". The final nail should be that the "energy" to create all these robots could feed untold numbers. Humans are cheaper in the long run and more recyclable; keeping "busy" will keep them out of trouble.

Without re-reading the entire thread, my impression was that only the OP thought it was a realistic possibility. I considered it nonsense when I read it.
