gollark: Yes, the best way for the evil antimale conspiracy to act was to distribute a vaccine with very rare side effects not discovered in the clinical trials which manifest more in young men.
gollark: You don't actually need general human-level robotics for lots of automation, at least, if you redesign the environment into something which can be handled more easily.
gollark: Robotics seems to be advancing slowly compared to other AI, so it may end up being the case that physical labour is costlier than lots of intellectual work for a while, which would be really weird.
gollark: The technology is advancing. NONE will be spared, except those who will be spared, which is hard to predict in advance.
