Billions of robots = the greatest wealth explosion in history
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-10-29
Dr. Singularity argues humanoid robots are key to abundance: of Earth's 8.3 billion people only 3.6 billion work, and only a fraction build physical things. Deploying billions of robots working 24/7 expands the 'builder' workforce. Material abundance is transforming matter into useful things with energy and intelligence — the Solar System alone holds enough resources to make everyone millions of times richer in real terms.
