Do you believe that robots like Tesla's Optimus are going to <liberate us from drudgery and dangerous tasks and create job opportunities>? Do you believe that <the goal is a harmonious cycle of ever-advancing robotic workers and AI brains that generate more productivity, more science and more wealth, freeing up humans to pursue both leisure activities and more fulfilling work>? The Washington Post is doing blatant industrial marketing here. Robots will not be a shared resource, they won't belong to <us>. As always, they will only benefit the 10% of society who own stocks in robot-making companies. New <fulfilling jobs> won't be for us either. The high cost of college, especially in the US where the public school system is being dismantled, means that the new high-skills jobs will be limited to the children of the same small societal elite who can afford private colleges. I will be degen-grateful 😉 for interesting comments. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/05/05/elon-musk-robots-optimus-ai/

I once watched a film where an industrialist in the 70s or so was marketing his invention to gentlemen and ladies of that time. He argued that making use of the invention would save time and drudgery, allowing the people to pursue other leisure activities and more fulfilling work. One young man told him that when that is done and he purchases the machine, he is no longer working for himself but working for him (the owner of the invention). So, even though these machines will reduce drudgery, create job opportunities and eliminate our exposure to dangerous tasks, it will benefit the bourgeoisie more. They own the resources and stocks. We would end up working for them by purchasing their invention that does our work for us. This means we are working for them indirectly. This will only widen the wealth gap
