I think I heard somewhere that there were already bots which deliberately lie to get what they want, which is probably the basest form of fraud. | |

Or perhaps a revolution will happen first . . . | |

| May 7, 2015 at 20:32 | comment | added | Ghanima | I take it that a system where essentially all human labor is rendered insignificant by robots will never be compatible with capitalism as we know it. There is simply no way of a stable society if humans were required to earn income while being outcompeted by machines. Society would have to find a way to share the profits generated by those machines - not only to the shareholders (in todays terms) but everyone. | |
