The Robot Revolution (2 Viewers)

[Jon]

I am so supportive of the robotic revolution. I just understand that it is going to replace every worker in the word. Everything you just said is proof of that. Thank you for winning my argument for me.

Elon Musk predicts that work will be optional in about 10 or 15 years time. Make of that what you will.

One of the big questions is whether or not we will see a large deflation of prices, as AI and robotics slash expenses, such as cost of production, admin, customer service and so on.

The R & D costs will be built-in for generations.

I'm predicting a rebirth. the next Renaissance.

And this is somehow new? What is all of history except constant rebirth?

There are rebirths, and there are rebirths. Why do we have a name for the Renaissance?
Excluding the arrival of divine entities, This is the single biggest event in human history, and not by a little.
I read I Robot (and every other Isaac Asimov novel i could get my hands on growing up) in 1974. I knew then what most people are just now starting to see in the fog of their limited vision. The singularity is here, look around there's no denying it.
For the last 30 years so many of you have treated me like I'm an idiot. I don't mind though, it's finally here, the end of capitalist subjugation of the working class.

Now they may all die off, or be killed, but they will no longer be slaves. My robots will be doing the work

And Asimov as well.

Of course it (deflation) will, but if the only people with all the wealth at paying subsistence pay, That is the only solution; other than the early demise and controlled rebirth of the entire human race.
Breed out, or genetically modify, the undesirables.

Well, despite you being a "voice that cries in the wilderness", at least we didn't treat you like Herod treated John the Baptist. That must be worth something.

And as far as the "Thriller laugh" - don't you DARE abuse that most wonderfully malevolent laugh of Vincent Price.
