    We’re still a few thousand years away from that. There’s very little a humanoid robot can do in a factory that a robot arm can’t do better. About the only thing I can think of is pretending to drink coffee in the break room.

      It doesn’t have the best robot for the job, it only needs to be more profitable than a human for that particular job, and be a “slot in replacement” with low risk. The free market system is very inefficient that way lol.

        That’s still the realm of science fiction right now and even if they try, it’s not going to be cheaper than humans.
