Can’t figure out how to feed and house everyone, but we have almost perfected killer robots. Cool.
Oh no, we figured it out, but killer robots are profitable while happiness is not.
I would argue happiness is profitable, but would have to shared amongst the people. Killer robots are profitable for a concentrated group of people
What if we gave everyone their own killer robot and then everyone could just fight each other for what they wanted?
Ah yes the Republican plan.
No the Republican plan would be to sell killer robots at a vastly inflated price to guarantee none but the rich can own them, and then blame people for "being lazy" when they can't afford their own killer robot.
Also, they would say that the second amendment very obviously covers killer robots. The founding fathers definitely foresaw the AI revolution, and wanted to give every man and woman the right to bear killer robots.
They'd say they're gonna pass a law to give every male, property owning citizen a killer robot but first they have to pass a law saying it's legal to own killer robots. They pass that law then all talk about the other law is dropped forever. No one ever follows up or asks what happened to it. Meanwhile, the rich buy millions and millions of killer robots.
Oh no, we figured it out, but killer robots are profitable while ~~happiness~~ survival is not.
No, it isn't just about survival. People living on the streets are surviving. They have no homes, they barely have any food.
obviously that's just a lifestyle choice
What's more important, a free workforce or an obedient one?
Especially one that is made to kill everybody else except their own. Let it replace the police. I'm sure the quality controll would be a tad stricter then
