If you didn’t care about what idiotic bullshit he spouted when he was making the Reddit podcast all about himself, you don’t need to care what idiotic bullshit he’s spouting now. He has a degree in history so he might have informed opinions there.

You know what would actually make parents more present in their children’s lives? Fewer hours at work and more money.

The only people helped by robotics will be people who already have the luxury of: working from home; regular hours; high wage; and good PTO benefits. So, well-off to wealthy people.

Poor people in low-paying jobs won’t be able to afford the robots for a couple generations, anyway. His perspective on this is self-centered. Which, I suppose, is typical of him.

Meh I see the way the kids act, no amount of free time and money will make 90% of these assholes spend time with their kids.

Billionaires: "Someday magic robots will give parents more free time."

People: "What about giving them a reasonable amount of time for parental leave, or letting them work fewer hours, or from home?"

Billionaires: "Wha? Buh? ... OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!"

"For women, for mothers, they spent such a disproportionate amount of their time doing laundry by hand, that when this machine showed up in people's lives, it was a major, major revolution in terms of women's lib and freedom and time," Ohanian said.

  1. I'd be very surprised either does any housework

  2. He 100% needs at least one advanced android to do anything at the level Serene Williams can do.

  3. A lot of couples split household chores without a robot.

Why does the financial playing field come to my mind first?

CO founder of Reddit and husband of Serena Williams. The photographer snapped the headline photo just after a reporter asked her how much parenting he does now

Look, the gender playing field is leveled when women can pee standing up without having to change pants, and it's upended when that device becomes prehensile.
