A Supreme Court which ruled that corporations are people and cash equals free speech shouldn't surprise us in the near future when it rules that robots have a right to use lethal force in "self defence." Where others may see an emerging technology, I see yet one more well-funded lobby buying access, writing legislation, and steering policy -- none of which ever benefits We The People.

On the plus side, a robot might be preferable to the current president.

We need guaranteed minimum income. Get rid of all the bureaucrats and all the programs, government mandarins making things complex to keep themselves employed. If people aren’t dead poor criminality will go way down and we won’t need euphemistically named robots policing us.
