Labor Endgame

So, who designs the robots, programs the robots, etc?

When we can rely on the robots for everything, they will no longer need us.

For the sake of moving the conversation forward, let's say Bill Gates originally designed and programmed the robots and said he would never charge for their use. The AI on the robots is good enough for them to become self sustaining/replicating as necessary to provide everyone the basic human necessities. Yes, the robots do not need humans at all. If these details are becoming to distracting, please see the questions I asked Vteck.

Bill Gates charges for crappy Windows software - now you think that he is going to give away AI for free???
Humans will need to be paid to reboot the robots when they turn "blue" (blue screen crash).

The reality is that money is just a physical symbol of the power to get others to do what you want them to do. If you had someone that donated "free everything", someone else would find a way to manipulate it to conquer everyone else. It's human nature. There will always be people that want to rule over others, and will find ways to do so.

I suspect there would be a charge for time the robots do labor, maint costs, someone would own them.

The economy would shift, but theres always 3 classes of people/jobs.

Not sure why you arent getting this
