Can’t figure out how to feed and house everyone, but we have almost perfected killer robots. Cool.

Oh no, we figured it out, but killer robots are profitable while happiness is not.

I would argue happiness is profitable, but would have to shared amongst the people. Killer robots are profitable for a concentrated group of people

What if we gave everyone their own killer robot and then everyone could just fight each other for what they wanted?

What's more important, a free workforce or an obedient one?

Especially one that is made to kill everybody else except their own. Let it replace the police. I'm sure the quality controll would be a tad stricter then
