Did you see Tesla’s We, Robot?
Robotaxis. Humanoid robots. Automation is the future. Elon said that automation is about “getting your time back.”
Hmm. I agree that in a classic production sense, not only is automation the future, but it’s also the present. The Industrial Revolution was/is all about automation. 4TLAS’s purpose is largely tied to automation.
But what does getting your time back look like? For real.
Does it mean less work and more entertainment? Does it mean less of what you must do and more of what you want to do? Does it mean less toil and more leisure?
What do you do with your time now? What would you do with your time if you didn’t need to clean the house, tend the garden, repair the car, replace the siding, cook the meals, read to your kids?
Or, wait, maybe those things — at least, some of those things — are exactly what you would do.
Your time and how you spend it is tightly coupled to your humanity.
We are human.
