Robots

• Detail 1: Elon Musk says "there will be more robots than people"
• Detail 2: China's ratio of "old vs young" is tilted too much towards "old"
• Detail 3: Robots represent mildly capable employees who don't demand any rights (pay, leave, health benefits, etc) making them appealing to every business on the planet

Population

• We must be headed to for a population explosion. (see detail #1)
• Robots occupy exactly "1 person" worth of physical space. So everything will get very squashy very soon.
• Robots are like phones which can physically do things for you. If each person has their own robot, an atomic family will have 8-9 people/robots. Could be time to get a bigger car...

Drivers

• China will drive this explosion.
• China needs "application suitable" robots working in aged care (detail #2)
• China also needs "application suitable" robots to bridge the shortfall of humans in that country, or their economy is exposed to collapse (detail #2 and #3)
• China is equiped to produce robots economically, at scale, right now,
• China's rollout will be faster given the lack of friction in their system of government

The "right now" argument

• Right now; robots can't close dishwashers properly (look at you X1), they cost too much (even the X1) and they pose too much of a threat in regard to privacy and physical harm

But... refer to the "Drivers" above

What's my point..?

My point is: robots can build robots...! Is that a problem we're not thinking about enough..?
