    in theory, if they managed to get them to work properly, and we were to ignore the privacy issues (the lack thereof). a humanoid robot would be amazing and revolutionary.

    it isn’t just for chores though, once they are competent enough to perform productive labour it’ll replace most jobs.

    assume almost all human labour to be a thing of the past, and I doubt those tech rich would want to restructure society so we don’t end up like soylent green.

      Yes, it would be amazing and revolutionary. However, you achieve the same with other designs more economically.

        only capitalism can make a world, where labour is a thing is the past into a dystopia.

        Under capitalism, a post scarcity society would be hell on earth.
