Do androids dream of naked bitches?

Robots have been freaking people out for a while. Humans have been talking about this shit obsessively, and conversations and debate about the future of technology leads us to robots, or machines that will do all of our work for us. Karl Marx wrote a communist manifesto, which is often misinterpreted, and also wrote much more on the subject of his communism, which has been ignored. The end of capitalism, according to Marx, will actually come about by capitalism's undoing of itself. We will further our technology until we reach the cornucopia machine. The cornucopia machine will be technology doing all the labor humans used to do, and humans will simply become the managers of this technology. Thus, capitalism will end its natural course, and grant us communism. It's not hard to make the connection between cornucopia machine and robots. Many people read this shit, get a little freaked out about it, and then freak us out.



What's strange about robots has always been that they will be built by humans. Asimov points to many of the problems humans could face when dealing with robots built by humans with intrinsic logical errors within their code.

OK, now, get nugged, and watch what robots might actually be like:



Evolving robots kind of takes the "robots" out of it right? Seems more like living creatures. If we force these robots to evolve, and we keep building them more and more complex, then the future of robotics really starts to look strange. Marx's cornucopia machine might not be out of the question, but how can someone force the creatures they have created to produce all of the manual labor needed to keep humans alive? Wackadoo...

Would you make a slave out of something you watched learn how to crawl? It gets even weirder because humans give robots human characteristics, but this doesn't necessarily fly with our shit. The uncanny valley is a concept which explains that the closer a robot gets to looking and moving like a human, the weirder it looks to humans, right up until it looks exactly like a human.



So, are you gonna be a bitch, or are you gonna fuck that robot?
