Layoffs by the 10s of thousands, food prices out of control, people barely able to afford gas. At least some tech bros can launch their 50th B2B SaaS. I didn't realize a booming economy sucked so much.

That was the stuff of science fiction when I was a kid. If you're worried about food prices, you should be happy that robots will make agriculture less labor-intensive and bring prices down.

Sometimes the price of oil goes up so much that fuel and fertilizer price increases negate the wins from automation, but automation is still generating wins and will only accelerate as robots get smarter.
