Robots are coming to the kitchen − what that could mean for society & culture tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/rep
Since technology tends to be expensive at first, the early adopters of AI kitchen technologies are restaurants and other businesses, but over time, prices are likely to fall enough for the home market, possibly changing both home and societal dynamics.

As a person who spent decades in kitchen, I found this article interesting but my questions are different from the ones in the article

On this #LaborDay I'm wondering how American society, that's barely surviving the collapse/export of its industrial sector, will handle the dislocation caused by automating the #ServiceWork it's unable to export 🤔😬

#Capitalism can't answer this question. It wants slave labor but can't provide for us even with that
:iww: :af:

"#Capitalism can't answer this question. It wants slave labor but can't provide for us even with that "

Absolute nonsense. A free market takes as an entering assumption that the participants in it are free; slavery is completely at odds with free market capitalism. To claim that capitalism wants slavery is a contradiction in terms.

@AlexanderKingsbury @PeachMcD @TucsonSentinel you are not free in a free market unless you can afford what it sells. This creates class tiers in which the lower classes are enslaved to the highest class.
