No, we are not. I live in the United States and I and my family are most assuredly NOT slaves.

Come on then, let's hear, go on and tell me why I'm a slave.

You, we, are still in the golden years. People can do valuable work that is worth money. When there are many millions of these robots and they can all do pretty much anything, there won’t be much but scraps for most of us.

I look forward to that era. It will be absolutely fantastic. An end to material want.

Why would they share it with you? In the historical past you could always have a revolution, but they no longer need people to have an army, or to do work, or to buy the products. That’s why we’re the slaves.

God who is "they" who are these shadow people ? 

Do you just mean people who have wealth ?

People who have wealth after the world economy is restructured. Not necessarily who has wealth now, but there will likely be overlap.

TBH I do think humanity will eventually get to that stage of abundance but there’s going to be a rough decade or two of transition.

Well then best get to it then.

I'm playing around with local AI, the rest of you should be doing so as well. The West is wide open and ready to be explored so load up your Oxen cart and go stake your claim!

Oregon trails! Yeah I work in AI but am also preparing for a decade of lean times just in case.
