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.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
