They love slaves. They want to bring back slavery and serfdom. Simple as that.

Why have human slaves or serfs if robots do everything a human does with fewer mistakes, and no need for sleep or recreation?

Because you can't torture a robot, you can't make a robot cry, you can't crush a robot's spirit, you can't break a robot's will, you can't rape a robot.

Robots are expensive, require frequent maintenance by specialists, and there aren’t even any robots close to humans in durability and length of years active. They also can’t problem solve anything like humans can.

Meatbags are expensive and require frequent maintenance by specialists as well... theres a reason why sick leave and vacations are a thing.

And i've been surprised by Claude. It's not there yet, but its getting better at problem solving. I'm pretty anti-AI, but I can see it getting better and applied to things robots do on the daily while people still do the development and solutioneering and arts and such.

Go and read the article.

The most advanced robotics company in the world cannot make more than 4 robots a month.

You’re surprised by Claude? Why? It’s just theft of people’s work to enrich shithead tech bros.
