    “Robots will replace all jobs and work for us!” – Who realistically thought they would be in the “us” here?

    Robots belong to companies owned by shareholders, but mostly oligarchs. In their view, when robots work for “them”, human population has been culled with 99.9% of the population died by starvation and/or stopped reproducing, and the 0.1% billionaire families survivors enjoy a cosy life where robots do everything.

    Until the system crashes and none of these idiots know how to fix anything.

    That’s one more human extinction scenario to the list…

      It’s legal for your boss to replace you with a robot and fire you. But it’s not legal for you to just buy a robot that is doing your job for you while you are still getting paid.
