But seriously, think about how much propaganda has been created to make people afraid of using robots or automated systems for menial labor. It's almost like hard labor is used to control people.

@RickiTarr people know that (at least in labour contexts), these technologies are used by employers to eliminate humans, with the savings all going to the owners, and leaving the workers out of a job.

We live in the techno futurist utopia where most physical labour has been taken over by robots, but this has not freed us up to pursue human joy, it has resulted in huge numbers of humans being surplus to requirements. So I guess that's an actual dystopia?🤷‍♂️

@AlexanderVI True, but that's a human problem, not a robot problem. I definitely don't want people doing dangerous jobs just because. Although Republicans seem to want to go back to teenage coal miners and 9 year olds losing hands in cotton mills.
