    I mean it’s pretty clear they’re desperate to cut human workers out of the picture so they don’t have to pay employees that need things like emotional support, food, and sleep.

    They want a workslave that never demands better conditions, that’s it. That’s the play. Period.

      And the tragedy of the whole situation is that they can‘t win because if every worker is replaced by an algorithm or a robot then who‘s going to buy your products? Nobody has money because nobody has a job. And so the economy will shift to producing war machines that fight each other for territory to build more war machine factories until you can’t expand anymore for one reason or another. Then the entire system will collapse like the Roman Empire and we start from scratch.
