Hypothetical robots of the future being possibly cheaper than humans doesn't mean that the capitalist in charge of setting the price will actually pass those savings along to the customer.
There are several billions worth of investor capital that will need to be repaid first, plus whatever equity stake the founders choose to award themselves with.
- emporas 2y agoHypothetical robots of the future will be made just from bamboo and very inexpensive materials. Intelligence means exactly that, being effective with minimum amount of anything, energy, muscle, sensors, materials etc. See ants, which can figure out to dig holes and decompose everything. They know how apply minimum amount of pressure to cut leaves, they know how to choose the right angle to cut animal muscle and even wood, they know to cooperate and survive floods, and so on. It is no wonder they have the most brain-weight/body-weight than any other animal on the planet. Excluding the processing unit, any robot part will be so cheap and available that no one will need permission of capitalist monsters to obtain.
