cool, so they can do the grueling work for us so we can enjoy life... right?

You don't need humanoid robots for that, just an economic system that is not based on trading labor for income. That is what has been holding us back for a long time.

labor is necessary for many things regardless of the economic system.

i guess the problem with having these in the current labor for income system is that whenever they can replace us, we dont get income anymore, instead of enjoying workless utopia built by robots.

I wasn't talking about getting rid of all labor, but we can with the vast majority of it.

No you'll work but the robot will be your supervisor and can beat you

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

this is already the case if you do app work like uber and such

They will be so efficient, they can do both for us.
