Surrogate slavery is going to be a large business one day. If you are telling me that one day I'll have a robot that cooks, cleans, is a personal assistant, a therapist. Eventually it'll be a chauffeur, babysitter, and obviously sex slave. Why wouldn't i pay 50000 for that, besides the obvious "you are a creep" like why do I care when it's coming and market forces are going to make it an indistinguishable substitute human a la Joi from blade runner?

Seriously though, the future is made of human beings more and more isolated from each other because technology will give us all that we used to get from other people, with none of the annoyances.

  Separate people are easier to control, collective action is anathema to the ruling class.

A robot babysitter sounds like a suggestion made by somebody who doesn't have kids.

I'm not seeing how this is different from a regular remote worker in terms of ethics?
