No one has explained to me how this is supposed to occur. I agree that if you were building a civilization from scratch and had this sort of automation available, you'd probably come up with a nice idealistic solution.
But as it is, starting from the world we live in today, these sorts of efficiency savings just seem to concentrate wealth in the hands of the robot owners.
I feel like companies would say "Oh, look at this, our production went up 10x at no increased cost. Now, should we use that increase to maximize our profits, or should we just raise wages and cut working hours in order to selflessly do our part towards creating a utopia?"
