One last example :
Of course, any author of science-fiction warned about robots rebelling against their creators, right now LLMs have zero memory but it seems impossible to prevent a random engineer in h·er·is basement to create a rogue a.i., good luck to us
(Can’t think of a reason why i omitted to mention the source, at least Tim Urban understood that it’s in the domain of techno-scientific discoveries that a.i. will have one of the most profound impact, it’s not merely automation : https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-2.html
)
A poor person from the third world controling it remotely. It cost too much eventualy they will give up on this nonsense… I mean whos gonna buy anything in the future after the next crash that will wipe out all people savings and create mass firings.
Bots together strong.

This chart is dope
I think it should be below the ant
They’re not taking jobs. They’re helping you do you job for you.
If robots in the future actually become useful it could be more revolutionary than people think. We are far away from this scenario, as it requires something truly exceptional, it is still interesting to imagine.
The better it gets the less stuff we need at home.
It would potentially remove the need for:
- Dishwasher (Handwash)
- Washer (Handwash)
- Dryer (Drying rack)
- Robot vacuum
- Pet feeder
- Coffeemaker (Manual drip pour)
- Automatic doorlock
- Toaster
- Fan
- Large fridges and freezers (Tetris)
- Coffeemaker? Manual drip pour.
- Robot vacuum
- Pet feeder
- Automatic litterbox Etc
Yes, we will not have any of this in my lifetime probably, but this is what the future might look like.
It’d change a lot about class conflict, perhaps even end the need for it.
Also i don’t see why you’re hesitating, they’re already replacing jobs since the industrial revolution, my grandfather has been using a mowing robot for years now, my parents use one to clean the floor and their swimming pool, as well as to monitor their house. It won’t take many years before getting one to clean the windows as well.Service robots for consumer use have experienced a solid growth rate of 11% with close to 20 million units sold in 2024 (source)
Amazon has deployed its one millionth robot last year, they move shelves, sort parcels, bring products to humans, operate forklifts, …
You probably already heard about China’s “dark factories”, which don’t even need any human assistance or supervision.Robots are already replacing taxi&truck drivers. In agriculture as well they’re beginning to drive tractors, are already milking cows, and are more&more distributing animal feed, cleaning some livestock buildings, spraying crops, destroying weeds(, with lasers), …
They’re also involved in mining, digging trenches autonomously, etc. It’s in China that the world’s first fully unmanned paving construction was built two years ago, an highway of more than 150km !
There are also automative toll booth, welding robots, …If you were more specifically thinking of these multi-tasking androids depicted by sci-fi authors, that could just as well drive a car, mine, build a structure, or wash your dishes, then my opinion is that their humanoid precursors will be as numerous before 2035 as the current number of robotaxis, and be more widespread in 2050, including in homes.
On humanoid androids :
the Figure 02 robot supported the production of more than 30,000 BMW X3 vehicles over ten months (source from 2026)
Or here :
Digit, our general-purpose humanoid, has moved over 100,000 totes at GXO’s Flowery Branch facility (source from 2025)
Who knows 🤷
It won’t end class conflict. That is not have capitalism works unfortunately.
Exploiting human workers is much more problematic than exploiting robots. In a post-scarcity society everyone would have access to healthcare, food, housing, energy, and any goods and services.
Robots will make robots, and raw materials will be automatically mined until taken from asteroids.However i agree that ideally these robots should be collectively owned, or equally alloted so that individuals loan them to companies, with a public control ensuring that the equilibrium is maintained.
There should also be a prevention over the influence of the wealthy in politics, otherwise they’ll find out a way to have more at the detriment of everyone else in their selfish race to be the number one(, e.g. artificial scarcity, planned obsolescence, oligopolies, influence in politics, …)In short, i guess what i meant was to point at the elimination of poverty. However, i agree with you that we’ll still need political institutions protecting us from the selfishness of the wealthy, otherwise there could be an increasingly inequal share of the ‘surplus obtained from’/‘exploitation of’ these robots between the wealthy and the poor.
