The following requires a response: Mr. Musk. Who will shop at Target or Amazon, or buy your cars, if the man is removed from labor?
Well, since the birth rate is dropping everywhere, the problem of replacing unskilled labor with machines would hit developed countries anyway...The following requires a response: Mr. Musk. Who will shop at Target or Amazon, or buy your cars, if the man is removed from labor?

You know, not all people works as unskilled labor. Even if you completely remove man from labor, there would still be services.Income. How will people who are alive pay their bills?
If value is created by mechanisation then aren’t the machines paying for it. What is beyond silly about using that value to let people and let folks follow their hobbies, passions and be creative without attaching a price tag to it?Beyond silly. Who would pay for basic income? Nobody?
Money would still be generated and last I checked robots don't need to be paid.
A robot that only just covers the cost of production and maintenance? That sounds like an bleak artwork rather than a real caseI did the research

So a machine that only consumes resources and produces no net value - is it by chance a furby?A robot that only just covers the cost of production and maintenance? That sounds like an bleak artwork rather than a real caseI did the research
Oh, and it needs a power source.
Why an obligation? I loved my job and found the transition to retirement due to a health issue hard but that is a long way from being the norm.Universal Basic Income is certain death for society. I lived in the Soviet Union and even the "communists" (actually state socialists) recognized the obligation of work for everyone. With varying efficiency, of course, but everyone should work. With the exception of pensions for the old and sick.
Money Printer go BURRRRRRRRRRRRBeyond silly. Who would pay for basic income? Nobody?
There is a growing demographic where they productive work is difficult to extract. New diagnostics of mental illness is growing in turn indeed: you can all be depressed, anxious, blah blah~ quite easily indeed.With varying efficiency, of course, but everyone should work. With the exception of pensions for the old and sick.
Universality & compatibility. The absolute majority of infrastructure around is designed to accommodate humanoid forms. Non-humanoid robot would have problems moving around and operating equipment, designed for humans.Why does it need to be a humanoid anyway?
Humans are not necessarily the best load carriers - now TeslaElephant I could get behind.
Because your kids won't see the work example. They will only eat. The consumption of the majority will quickly kill the thin society of producers. Socialism takes away motivation not from consumers but from producers. The manufacturer cannot obtain good raw materials for production (creativity) and cannot receive a commodity reward for his work.Why an obligation?

Wouldn’t finding your own purpose and way to get value from your day bring you more satisfaction and wellbeing than a job you find a drudge?
I get a pension and insurance now so my basic needs are met and I could, in theory, sit on the couch for the next 30+ years but that doesn’t stop me doing more for my own enjoyment and satisfaction. That hasn’t stopped me inventing, collaborating and creating new products and businesses despite no longer having any significant financial incentiveBecause your kids won't see the work example.
