Make normies obsolete!

Any other cynics happy to be working towards, or watching technology replace normies?

I can't wait until normies are starving in the streets and cannibalizing each other.

robots are getting paid 17k and driving maclarens
you cant even get a job at wendy's so you have to go stand in line for the biometric scan and put in your vote for hillary to get your hillarybux

The future they said

>>38

Robots have high development costs

Computers once had very high costs too, but today microcontroller costs less than a potato.

>>42
Exactly. Mass production is a huge cost-saver. Maintenance is going to be dirt-cheap too. Robotics research is the only bottleneck here but there has been so much ground covered there that it's not going to hold for long especially since the market for robots is only going to grow.

>>42

Wrong. Huge amounts of money were invested in computer development because nature did not spit out billions of ultra-complex supercomputers for free. If nature did, nobody would invest in artificial computers. There is no incentive for the massive amounts of risk required to develop machines that can replace monkey work that humans do.

No, socialism and min. wage will not compel companies to develop those machines. Min. wage is just currency, producing machines to replace humans costs real things like energy and rare minerals. Further, all that increased wage leads to is an underground community of slaves working under the table. Even with legal threats like fines (lol) companies would much rather simply hire people illegally than invest the untold trillions into replacing them with machines.

>>43

Robotics research is the only bottleneck here

No, the bottleneck is manufacturing. Do you think things are manufactured by magic?

>>44
quite possible that there will be some kind of drone food delivery services though, and the min wage hike will cause more people to want to shop / buy food online / not eat out as much

>>45
Maybe, but the desire to socialize in those settings is quite deep-seated in your average pleb.

>>44
You forget that DARPA funds robotics, because humans are cowards and cant be trusted on the battlefield, while robot will happily go on a suicide task. NASA also needs robots, because sending human being to mars is too costly.

>>47
You forgot that no government is about to invest untold trillions of wealth it doesn't have into replacing its tax base with machines that don't pay tax.

>>48
Why not? They spend billions a year maintaining nuclear weapons for the sole purpose to never have to use them. It's the Red Queen's race, dude. Capitalism is the natural extension of evolution, and those that don't do absolutely everything they can to advance will get left behind. The first country to get this technology will be able to sell it to everyone else and reap the reward, that's the first mover advantage. Everyone knows this and will take actions that may seem irrational to you, but you are not looking at the long term, and you are looking at it from a political perspective, when it is a economic and game-theory problem.

>>48
taxes are paid by businesses not by goyim cattle.

>>50
and government needs strong army to enforce taxes.

>>49
What you appear to be saying is that the technology will be developed for war-related reasons and then trickle down to business, eliminating the massive original R&D investment from business. But what you are missing is that it isn't about "technology" -- it is about the resources required to make the technology ubiquitous enough to replace human labor. It would simply cost too much, and there is no point since there are so many humans. In fact, all it will do is tie up nonrenewable resources and create huge instability due to all the bored retards.

If you're going to waste nonrenewable resources replacing human labor when there are billions of human laborers already available, that must be because you are planning to genocide the majority of humans. That is very plausible, and under that scenario economics would no longer be at play. But otherwise there is simply no economic incentive to manufacturer the kind of complex machines that can replace basic human labor.

A lot of oil dictatorships have no need for humans, because humans demand a share of oil profits. So leaders like Vladimir Putin will be the first to employ robots to control population.

>>53
The most elite of humans are doubly degenerate, and need to keep a massive population of surplus humans so creativity and entertainment can develop. Otherwise no gay elite shit like Broadway or even a Super Boal would be possible.

These dubs are anti commie
