The Humanoid Dilemma: Servitude, Co-existence, or Human Obsolescence?
wavefnx · x · 2026-07-30
Responding to the argument that humanoids are the most efficient form for human-built environments, the author poses a deeper philosophical question: why do humans desire so badly to create another entity that can walk our streets, use our tools, and perform our tasks as well as or better than us?
The author frames the ultimate outcome of the humanoid robotics wave as a choice among three paradigms: Servitude, Co-existence, or Obsolescence.
