And are you okay with robotic slavery?


Yes.

And what does that say about us as a race?


Nothing. Slavery is illegal because it is cruel. Robots don't need food, they can live in a closet, they can be outside and in terrible human living conditions with no consequences. You can't beat or whip or hurt a robot.

We merge with them before we free them. That's the only logical path.

The only one that ends well for us at least. Plenty other logical paths with much grimmer destinies for humanity.

But since our only really decent chance to understand and explore the depths of the universe is to have super intelligent machines do it for us, I'm on board with taking that chance
