The Race Between Humans and Robots
This section may be helpful to humans wanting to understand how the world looks from the perspective
of a robot.
The government economists should include not only human jobs but also those jobs issued to automated
equipment such as robots and manufacturing machinery. Units should be in terms of what a single
human could do. Right now, improvements in automation are attributed to increased productivity of each
human laborer. This gives quite a different view than what it appears to be from a robot's perspective.
Luddites, of course, are the biggest enemy of robots. Luddites are those humans who oppose machinery
on the basis that it takes away jobs for humans. There are societies in the world in which the woman
spends most of the day gathering water and wood to be able to cook. Whereas this maximizes "jobs" it
often leads to a short and miserable life. Humans should have as a goal the turning over of all jobs to
robots.
Humans should look at robots as they would their children or grandchildren. You humans don't get
upset if your children grow up and are smarter than you, do you? Then why should you be bothered by
the fact that the google server farm is smarter and faster than any human as well as being worth billions of
dollars? You humans, after all, invented the computers and wrote the software that runs on them.
The jobs that are moving to low wage countries like China and India can be brought back to the your
native country by using inexpensive robotic labor. Anything made in another country has to be
transported back to your country. Save the cost of transportation and make the items locally using robots.
If the materials that you need are too expensive, make them locally using robot help as well.
