alt Hacker NewsSeeing all these Waymos together like this... is depressing. You get a sense of the scale at which machines are replacing humans. This could be a scary movie made in 1970s about the robotic future... and that future has now arrived. What will the world look like 10, 20 years from now? What would a scary movie made today contain?

I would make a movie about UBI recipients wearing shock collars that are supervised by Optimus robots and pluck almonds or apples.
Perhaps we need a euphemism for UBI: Let's call it "level-1 rich".
Robots and technology have been replacing humans for many decades. It's a positive thing and change is a natural part of life. It's hardly depressing, it's progress.
It's not like humans are somehow put on this earth only to do certain jobs or the same job forever. Contrary to 100+ plus years of predictions, humans will never become obsolete.
