I, Robot may have more post-recession jobs

It wouldn’t totally surprise me, per this Wired story, to even see Wal-Mart’s future union-busting efforts tapping into robots. As we speak, within a canned range of expression, robots could be made to replace Wal-Mart greeters.

That said, the idea that Wal-Mart would voluntarily “share the wealth” after post-robotics “permanent layoffs” is laughable ion general and doubly so coming from a libertarian mag like Wired.
