Optimus Bot and the Future

Throughout human history, civilizations have adopted relations of production that have enabled them to harness the full development of whatever technologies (productive forces) were available at the time -- from slave labour through to industrialization-- to produce things to meet material needs/preferences.  

I believe this historical trend will also (/already does) apply to robotics and the AI revolution.  Autonomous bot would, in effect, be the next "indentured servant" class for populations that have abated/ transcended the historical reliance on patriarchy and child labour. 

Cheers,
