“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

      Id love to give robots my job, if all my needs were met and I could do art all day.

      Of course, what it actually means is none of my needs will be met and I will be put into a private prison or an incinerator.

        I don’t understand people who hope for help from the government in our times, because we are like a rag for it, with which it wipes its snot and throws it in the garbage.

        You will continue to labor all day for reduced pay, while the robot pretends to do art all day

          They will outsource our leisure time to the robots so that we can stay at work forever, and the robots stay at home and fuck our wives.

          Reduced pay? If the rich get their way, we’re going to be chattel slaves. They hate us so much and are so disgusted with us, even the worst wage slavery is too good for us.

          They’ll kill off the unclean and disabled in mass exterminations, enslave us for a time while/if their ai gets good enough, and eventually when robots are good enough to replace even slaves, the rich will hunt us for sport and do coloseum games on us.

          People really underestimate how fucking awful the ruling class is. They are wicked, despicable people who genuinely think anything above slavery and bowing to them is too good for us poors.

            Would not even need an AM to do that to some people {=

            They have much debt to pay, oh so much.

            109 years is not nearly enough, is it?

            Hmm?

              Hmm, what about debts that ordinary people have been paying for thousands of years without even knowing it?

                Who cares about petty crimes of the standard man, they can almost be forgiven 100%. I’m personally not that vengeful, certain people really are just that bad, that the amount of sheer horror they deserve, does not have a word.

      And this will benefit the average worker by giving him more free time while keeping his job and salary, right?
