[BrilloPad]

Who needs robots? We just need 3D printers.

Once they are working the proletariat can be sent to the gas chambers. Its what the ruling classes want.

[DimPrawn]

Robots, super AI.

We're doomed!

And it's not far into the future.

Once AI can invent better AI, and robots + AI can design and build better robots, it's an exponential ride to extinction.

[vetran]

point is the cost of labour has always been quoted the main reason we can't manufacture in the UK, we are no moving to an era where labour isn't needed so much.

[LondonManc]

Yeah, we've never had production lines.

They'll be pointing at planes next, mark my words.
