> Quite dystopian thinking how a full factory and beyond could be run completely in the dark, just robots running around doing their thing.
There is nothing dystopian about this image. Human being weren’t designed, evolved, nor destined to be a worker in a factory. Their absence in factories isn’t in and of itself a problem.
The dystopian part is how the wealthy and powerful will chose to use the fact that so much can be automated. I doubt they’ll be willing to use it to create Fully Automated Luxury Communism.
In practice, it will be used to liquidate us: at best, we get the mass-fabbed social housing and a minimal dole to keep us from revolting; at worst, they leave us to die on the streets like we currently do to the mentally ill and the medically bankrupt.
