...and billions of taxpayer dollars end up in the bank accounts of not so stupid people.

Most articles follow a formula, they probably could have been written by computers even before LLMs but journalists were cheaper.

Still plenty of time to rot their brains outside of school hours.

Stagnant conditions like dodo birds. Though with females preferring taller specimens I guess we have a bright future as ostriches.

How are people going to have a better quality of life if they weren't born? Below replacement=gradual extinction. Japan is unlikely to have a happy ending, there are already weird things happening there like bears overrunning human settlements and eating the elderly. I'm not making it up!

If he's dead wouldn't he have left it to someone? And wouldn't the Bitcoin creator have plenty more Bitcoin, maybe that he even paid for? Many billionaires hoard most of their money

Sounds like all the Iran officials should throw a big party and invite all their friends and family.

How are they going to get there?

The human is probably just there like a safety driver while everything gets running smoothly. Another year and they're no longer needed: the truck drives itself, the delivery bot is loaded by a tender bot, and the delivery bot delivers the package. No need to make a video of what is coming, which would make the silly humans emotional.

The fake obituary was the best way to deploy him to Iran secretly so the Ayatollahs and Epstein don't have a chance to escape.

Definitely seems like a waste of resources to take out a guy past his natural life expectancy. I guess they thought it would be a catalyst for the system to collapse after the recent protests. Low odds of success, but the consequences of failure are also low. So what if there are some posters made of the guy with "martyr" written on them? If war is becoming an exchange of tons of drones and missiles it's better to attack before the enemy builds up its capacity

Bigger question will be why go to school when companies aren't hiring? Probably 3/4 colleges and 1/2 high schools can close tomorrow and productivity stay the same or increase

Sounds more like the US gave them more opportunities to travel the world, buy multiple properties, and retire early. Meanwhile in the socialist utopias the middle class will be priced out by the Americans and rot in drab apartments (while paying for the Americans "right" to healthcare and other services). Kind of the other side of the globalist coin of poor migrants undercutting wages (while leaching off public services)

Boston Dynamics probably intentionally avoided showing the public anything that hinted at job replacements, but it's probably not be worth the investment anyway. When most of the middle class is unemployed who is going to pay someone to crawl around in their attack, human or robot?

But they don't switch off the robots in the morning. Ask the doctor about the life expectancy of homeless people.
