		simultsop 8 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Coming Robot Home Invasion Isn't the plan of automation to let humans free at any cost? Like it happened with computers and relief from bureaucracy. First printers costed 20k, still there are 20k printers but way more powerful, the first series now are in homes under $100. It will take time to get cheap.

I don't think a rational market would want anything at "any" cost. Either the robot has to be cheaper, or better enough to justify the increased cost.

Automation won’t make all humans free.

It will make it easier for some humans to free of interaction with other humans.
