Well there is now!

Are these robots going to buy the goods and services?
Seems like full automation creates no consumers.
UBI is an inevitable future. the only question is when, not if. And probably the countries that will be able to create a better law quicker than others will get a decent economic advantage over the conservative ones.
I don't see it. They're fine with letting people fight over garbage to eat.
Yeah but they need people to have enough money to buy their shit so they can get richer.
so, who’s buying their products once everyone is unoccupied?
Will they need anyone to buy their products at that point? They've already won capitalism and they have multiple mansions, robot slaves, AIs, and automated farming.
In "Theory" it would drive down priced and the people buying from these places would have more money to spend elsewhere.
Theory in air quotes because regardless if it work out in the end it still takes away a lot of power from labors.
And that will push capitalism to the breaking point. We'll see what happens then, although many very bad scenarios are possible.
The oligarchs will probably throw a fit and kill us all.
Oh boy here we go. Even the in-person jobs that require mobility are gonna get fucked by AI. I knew it was gonna happen eventually, didn't realize it'd be this fast.
I'm actually pretty sure these robots aren't going anywhere, and that this is a PR push.
I don't want a factory job though. I want a world that's organised well enough that people don't starve when you don't have menial labour for them to waste their lives on to justify being fed.
feeding and housing is just logistics and we're good at that. let the robots do physical work and continue feeding people as before.
The intended market for these robots is countries where there's an aging demographic curve, meaning there simply aren't enough young able-bodied people to fill the jobs that need them no matter what salary you were to offer.
In countries where there's enough people for these jobs I expect human labor will remain cheaper for quite a while yet.
So far, every piece of automatization created more jobs, and those jobs were ultimately better. Unfortunately people who works automated jobs will have to adapt, but the hope is, the society will help them with that.

I'm enjoying the irony of the automatic ai summary to read this for us.
I'm surprised they only made these guys 5' 4" tall. Seems kind of short. Figure they'd have greater abilities if they made them taller, though maybe they'd fall over easier, I don't know.
Well, at least this one doesn't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger... yet.
