Hi Michael,

That may be more of a humanoid than a robot. Not much need for such a

thing, really. Ugly machines cost less and do more work.

The significance of robots is that they do the work of humans, making

more leisure possible for humans. Problem will be in getting away from

the work model for distributing the goods of society.

When there is little or no work, but plenty of goods - how do you

distribute the goods? The most to the biggest assholes?
