You mean you won't have to worry about the budget deficits because society will probably have collapsed.

Right. I guess either way, dystopia or utopia, if we have 1B humanoid robots in 2035, literally no one will remember saving $10M by cutting one scientific grant program.
Ah yes society is made up of folding clothes and cleaning up after cooking.
And construction, retail, warehousing, mining, farming, social services, etc.

We aren't going to have 1 billion clothes folding robots.

Let's solve that first maybe?

Robot arm vacuums were just released few months ago. It can barely pick up socks and some types of slippers. There's still a long way to folding clothes.

Folding clothes is notorious as one of the most difficult tasks. It will probably be solved last.
