> We are going to have to accept an important role — society as a whole — in making sure that the transition period from the pre-robotic technology to the post-robotic technology is as painless as possible. We have to make sure that people aren’t treated as though they’re used up dishrags

I always find statements like this a bit strange. Who "has" to? Who is going to make the rich and powerful ensure a just transition as opposed to just letting the rest of us starve?

After all, if the rest of us make a fuss, they can just set their guard robots on us...
