Interesting that they are going the subscription route and not selling these outright. It works because the comparison with the cost of a human looks so favorable. I’d expect to see this with humanoid robots too as they take over more and more human jobs.

You can not reach that post scarcity world without automation.
Human civilization is a process, a long term project. We cannot leapfrog stages. Ultimately suffocating or restricting technological advancement with the intention of preserving people’s jobs, while somewhat nobles, is a myopic approach to the issue. Don’t preserve any jobs, automate it all. Everything that can be automated should be automated. At some point redistribution of wealth won’t be a choice, it will be fundamentally necessary.
