Analysis of why and how humanoid robots will displace human physical labour.
Probably it will be chaos regardless, and coming out of that turmoil a form of socialism would be great. I don’t think any of these fundamental transitions happen smoothly.
Another point just struck me about this piece. It talks about how these robots probably will be used for military purposes as well. That also means that every company with (let’s say) a thousand or more bots will have asignificantl armed force on call. What will that mean for power dynamics within countries?

Yes, and not to mention what non-state actors will be able to do with this technology. I’m sure there will be a day in the future when a terrorist attack is carried out by hacked robots.
Despite all that I’m an optimist. I think reducing things like medical expertise to near zero cost will be such a huge boon to humanity, and I suspect most of this robotics power will be relatively decentralized. I don’t really believe in dystopian narratives where corporate overlords own the world and the rest of us are reduced to serfs.
Alright I get your point.
