More lifting than theft because Xerox was run by morons.
Gates/Jobs basically built on genius rather than created it:
How Xerox invented the Information Age - and gave it away

I don't think he's a POS. But it is a fact that he stole a lot of ideas and technology from Xerox, Apple, etc.
Watch the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley.

When Skynet becomes self-aware and all of the robots attack us and eat old people's medicine, we're going to realize Terminator was the most-prophetic movie of all time.
Maybe Trump is a Terminator who runs on meatloaf sent from the future to destroy Hillary Clinton and save the human race?

Cracked? Seriously?
There were probably a few more details involved.

And Apple has "stolen" ideas, and I'm sure Xerox "stole" some ideas, etc.

I thought the point of robots was not paying the frickers.

I think taxing individual robots is silly and will create too much beaurocracy and convoluted rules. If less people are earning an income then shift the tax burden on to the businesses that are paying less of their money to human employees. More jobs will be loss due to non robotic algorithms and automation anyway.

quote:It will only frick us as a society if we cannot shift to a system that takes care of workers who are displaced by automation. By increasing automation, business owners are able to save costs and increase profits at the expense of the displaced workers. Taken to an extreme, we'll have a society where a small number of people have all the wealth and production, and the rest of the people are destitute. That would be profoundly unjust--having millions of people who want to work but cannot compete with machines and AI.
We are fricked as a society because of AI though. Of course it makes sense but it is going to decimate jobs like never seen before.
The only way to resolve this is to redistribute wealth.
I think even staunch free-market capitalists should be able to admit that if automation is taken to its extreme, then this is the only possible outcome.
Right now we don't have this problem yet, because most people who want to work can find work. But in the long run, it's going to be an issue.

It's not a mutually exclusive concept.
There's a scene in Pirates of Silicon Valley where Gates is in negotiations with IBM to license an operating system he had invented, called DOS. (we all remember DOS). IBM laughs and says, sure there's no money in software anyway. They all agree to this huge agreement, which is worth millions, perhaps billions of dollars to Microsoft.
Then Gates calls a struggling software engineer he knows who has actually invented DOS and offers him $800,000 for it.
Great Scene
