I can picture these wearing cop uniforms, running you down at night for jaywalking ,and believe it may be one of our possible futures.

    I’m pretty sure the odds of this are 100%. Except it’ll be military bots… and they’ll be purging the poor and middle class, because once you have robots to do all the other stuff the next step is to reduce the population.

    If you and your group control all the raw resources and manufacturing is fully automated, and you have robots smart enough to do all the manual tasks, you don’t need profit, you get to wipe out most of the population and create your paradise.

    Not enough people realize we are morlocks, and the Billionaires think they are the Eloi

    But how quickly will hackers be able to gain total control of them? Cops will probably have the administrator password as "password123" or some shit. Or maybe instead of engaging in combat directly, they'll just be running humanoid cameras, lunging after you no matter how quickly you run, or whatever fence you jump over. Long gone will be the days when you could simply outrun the overweight, poorly trained cops. Now these things will be just inches behind you, the whole way blaring sirens and recording your every move. 😐
