If half of the US workforce is robotic, I think you should be more worried about the unemployed humans turning militant. I don't think the technology of robotic sentience would be achieved before all the robots are taken apart to create jobs.

Workers do not have any property, owning nothing but their own labour, and if that is given to robots, are we all meant to go die in the corner quietly?


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
