I share your enthusiasm though perhaps mine is tinged with caution.

imo, this issue must be treated with respect to human needs as well as economics. Sure it'll be a load of stress off when the Universal basic income is introduced but that'll be only affordable once the mechanics of the transition reach at least 50% saturation and the savings really start to kick in...

In the interim decade or two there'll be quite an industrial relations upheaval as unemployment starts to rocket and entrepreneurship dies out after all the great small businesses are now designed by AI robots and all the inventions humans create are superseded by AI jobs which are more effective and efficient. corporate taxes will also have to increase to pay for the unemployed or pensioners and health care.

I don't see this bill being easy to pass in the Lower House, do you?

No, imo, there'll be serious Govt legislation to slow the uptake of robotics eventually.

Right now we seem to riding the beginning of a great wave on a magnificent surfboard. a 5 metre wave building behind us and if we ride it carefully we can have the best ride of our lives.

but sex slave bots are sure to come available in around 5-10 years ..... no worries mate, they can cook too y'know ;-)
