Damn does that mean humans can start a revolution pretty quickly after these robots are in full affect?

I dont care about robots actually doing the work...I just want the robots to be used so humans enjoy more time with friends and family.... really capital owners are basically creating the nuse that will be used to end themselves

I agree, this thought I had implies you have enough resources to get your needs met, place to live, stuff to eat, ect.

I don't know man, machine intelligence is likely to be very different than ours. They might be able to utilize all of human history but being creative, or unpredictable in a real sense will take a lot longer. And uncreative, predictable enemies are relatively easy to defeat. Also, we're immune to EMPs.

Nah, computers learned pretty quickly how to consistently beat humans in a game such as Dota 2, which is more akin to the type of "creativity" you're talking about than say chess. If they can do that, it wouldn't take them long to figure out how to do it in the real world if given a clear objective. Particularly, since they could run thousands of simulations a day just to "learn."

Sure when playing against humans the AI was got once or twice but it wasn't long before it was basically unbeatable.

Also, humans may be "immune" to EMPs but there's a lot of stuff we need that computers don't (i.e. drinkable water and oxygen) and a lot of stuff that we're vulnerable to that computers aren't (poisons, gasses, etc).

It should really be working men vs. corrupt leaders that replace them with robots and don’t share natural resources.

Honestly, yes. Politicians on both sides are failing to understand that autonomy is on the horizon and that there’s a very real potential of mass unemployment over the next few decades. I lean conservative but it seems to me that we need to have some sort of universal income, likely paid by a tax on companies that automate their businesses. When people don’t work a combination of financial stress and boredom could quickly lead to civil unrest.

To allow universal income to become viable, you also need other things like universal healthcare, some type of control on rent/housing prices...basically anything that stops landlords/companies from price gouging tenants/customers ...which they will do as we can see the current economic environment with companies taking the oppertunity to price gouge on gas, groceries, everyday items.

PPI > CPI.

aka: companies are not price gouging.

your argument is invalid.

8.5% > 8.2% (for September (most recent data) year to year)

According to the official government resources, No. They are not.
