You see any problems with this utopian theory?

That’s about the same time Marcuse was espousing the same general theory.

I don’t see any problems with the theory. I do see blockades which is based on religion. For example how would Sharia Law hinder progress? You mentioned Marcuse. But his writings were based on politics where Fuller’s views were more science and engineering based.

His premise was that mankind given the extra time not having to work for a living would expand the arts and put a end to war.

First of all, “arts” will not end war, they will create more of it.

Second - what are the artists going to eat? Who is going to pay for it?

This is straight up Marcuse.

My robotic sl…ervant will be out in the field watering my food. lol

They already make a nifty raised bed bot for growing food.

Keep that research coming! I’ve got some fruit trees that could use robotic slervants too. lol

Some young buck did in my new apple tree saplings last fall, have to replace them this spring.

So a thought, just to throw this out there, but what happens to a true fully automated to table food merchant if some hacker increases the portion size where the patties are made but they can hide the fact from the boys in accounting?

[Rurudyne]

Does that guy have six or seven toes on his left foot?

Cool! Now my $20 a pound tomatoes can be $1,500 a pound.

I expect not so far in the future to see interior automated produce added to new and existing homes. Looking forward to it. Not currently up to scale so of course it’s more expensive but will be far cheaper later.

And the FDA will claim jurisdiction to regulate it.

More likely to discourage it to protect farmers. Think how great it would be though to grow all your produce, pesticide free and year round at minimal cost with no labor as opposed to expensive shipped aged produce.

They won’t have access. Easy to seal it away, and it won’t be dirt anyway, hydroponic.

Some guy stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from Home Depot. And he did it over years by simply swapping out real money for fake money.

When there is a will, there is always a way. It’s also why smart businesses carry insurance.

[zantax]

You wouldn’t just automate it and walk away anyway.

[floydefisher]

True, but if a guy can steal money undetected from Home Depot, how do you stop a hacker from doing as Rundyne suggested?

Yeah, it’s going to happen. It’s why you carry insurance.

Sensors, cameras, in person quality control and auditing. And of course, fewer employees, fewer potential crooks.

[floydefisher]

Home Depot did all of that, and they still got hit.

You do the best you can, but realize no matter how good you are, someone is going to find a weak spot and exploit it. That’s why you carry insurance.

McDonald's unveils first automated location, social media worried it will cut...

Sorry kids. Good luck being an influencer.

Looks like store staff will shrink to about 5 people a shift. No front counter, no drive through staff, just a manager and some food prep/general maintenance staff. Just wait till the automated food prep kicks in.
