Everyone here needs to seriously step back and consider the immense benefits this will eventually have. Our world will become a better one when we don't have fucking slaves in factories working for little pay in shitty conditions repeating the same task over and over for God knows how many hours. It's better this way.

It only becomes beneficial if society as a whole becomes a shared owner of all the production capacity. As long as these factories are privately owned and capitalism rules this is going to ceeate major poverty.

If all of these factories eventually phased out factory workers, the world would become a better place. That's what I'm saying. This has nothing to do with who owns what and all that shit you're throwing at me. It has to do with the progression of society and the saving of people who are working themselves to literal death.
