Developer kenwheeler (retweeted by ZeroStateReflex) shared a darkly humorous take on the robot future: even if robots eventually do us in, it's incredible we get to live through it — after thousand-year stretches where humans just made fire, gathered stuff and died, we're now living like "the white trash Jetsons." The post captures a common sentiment among tech people on AGI/robotics: equal parts dread and awe at witnessing the transition.
