Who will own those robots and AI?
If it's the rich, they certainly will not share.
If it's the government, then we will all become dependent on the government.
Or maybe everyone will be able to purchase his own robot, if they're not too expensive.
robots and AI produce such abundance that people need not work

I am looking around my house and my current lifestyle. I do not see anything I would need a robot to do, probably never will. In fact, it might even be a costly burden at $20K plus future costs.
That's why I've never been interested in a romba. I never care for the lane assist feature, autocorrect, or autopilot, etc... A friend showed off summoning his tesla, it moved from his driveway to the curb. I work in tech and I find all these tech very cool but do not care to integrate most of them into my lifestyle. I tried alexa once after getting it as a gift, and trashed it immediately. Did not get into the whole "smart home" tech. Even my solar monitor gateway is not configured on purpose. There are enough always-on devices on the home subnet as it is, I do not need more, most of which are running crappy FWs with potential backdoors.
I seriously think the world is getting out of control with too much tech in our lives. That's just me.

That's my plan for when I'm old and need TP for my bunghole!
But I've been planning on one of those Japanese models that maybe won't spy on me for my govt.
I don't need no fatiguer suffocating me with a pillow.

Same. I would never have Alexa good god. But. Smart home tech is great if you say for instance have a VRBO rental in Maui but you live in California. I just don't want that crap in my home.
All of my friends have Alexa though.
I remember in the naughties when people were being spooked by ad-ware and spy-ware. WTF happened to the concern!?
People lost their shiite about stem cell tech neary 20 years ago but hey, we should all stab our arms with genetic short circuit reprogramming for the covids!
amirite or amirite!?

Here he is droning on about how he says money will be obsolete one day.
https://thelibertydaily.com/elon-musk-predicts-ai-will-make-money-obsolete/
While the same time he's chasing down 56 billion in Tesla pay package.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/delaware-court-vindicates-elon-musk-restores-56-billion/
He's the richest man in the world, beating out second place by 300%.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/musk-becomes-first-person-worth-700-billion-after-court-restores-tesla-pay-package-5960893
So he wants us to think he envisions a time when Money wont be important to anyone. He has so much money, that money literally is no object to him. We'll own nothing and be happy, where have we heard that before?
