Robots and humans, working together in harmony?

I’ll drop the usual link to my comment concerning the kind of UBI only a neoliberal would love. This is, unfortunately, the most likely kind of scenario we’ll be seeing. I’d prefer to see Fully Automated Luxury Communism (with or without actual communes) as the outcome of the Multiplicity, but I doubt that the greedheads (and their religious fundie allies) will allow it.

America being America, things will have to get much worse (as in street riots that continue for more than a single fiscal quarter) before any alternative to the neoliberal consensus will make sense to our leadership class.
