Questions.... - what powers the robots? How is this power source maintained? - when a robot is damaged, how is it repaired and where do the raw materials come from? - when a robot simply doesn't work properly, who assesses the issue and resolves it? - with 99% of the world population presumably starving to death, what is stopping them from overthrowing whoever is starving them to death?

we already have a fleet of autonomous robots composed of protein that solved this problem. its not infeasible for artificially created robots to eventually be able to do this stuff on their own.

  > to eventually be able to do this Eventually being the key concept here. No doubt we'll automate a bunch of stuff, but not at this pace. The robots aren't good enough yet. General purpose robots are even further away. For the foreseeable, you will still need wage slaves

- electricity (from solar, hydro, nuclear, whatever). maintained by robots. - it is repaired by robots using resources mined or reclaimed by robots. - you guessed it, robots. - robots with weapons. If we actually want to prevent this doomsday scenario, I don't think it's wise to bet on "robots will never be able to do X".

  - you'll need to invent these robots first, so whats the ETA? - same as above - ditto - a bit skynet, but it will still require humans in the loop. This is the least whacky though as it actually exists
