Praise the Omnissiah!
The future is almost here

Cyborgs are going to be the mustard rice of the future <.<

Robot fanboying aside, it is a little concerning.

Mostly because of all the filthy pleb luddites that will no doubt cause all kinds of hell when this stuff starts to hit home, It will certainly be interesting to see what happens though <.<
Quite how the economy is going to change when human labour becomes worthless and production is bordering on free... Any ideas on this one? You seem to have a real itch for economics at the moment >.>

Massive civil unrest, political instability and an unprecedented concentration of wealth upwards.

Bugger.

So the oligarchs get richer and richer and then the population snaps, murders them all french revolution style and then we all end up in the shit. Great. However, I won't be sorry to see them hang <.< Short sighted greed is cause enough to be the architect of your own downfall.

But then if we start again we'll no doubt have an anti-capitalist outlook, despite the fact that the automation of labour on a massive scale is one of the few things capitalism has actually done wrong.

Although, I'll admit it's a biggie.

Robot butlers are 'not replacing' hotel staff. Ha.
