Eventually, there has to be profit? I get where you are coming from, but there has to be a point where there is a margin call? Can we really expect that much solidarity from the owner class, to turn down profits?
I think governments will just step in to ensure profits. The technology is seemingly perfect for surveillance, suppression, imprisonment, and counterinsurgency.
Sure, sometimes innocent people will be hallucinated into being terrorists and killed, but it’s not like the government will care.
The only way I see the bubble popping is if Hamas ultimately proves the technology can be defeated by guerilla tactics because governments would pull out their investments as a result. Then the bubble will pop.
I don’t think it’s solidarity. More of a shared delusion. Robot slaves are just too exciting and whoever gets them first would quickly become chief oligarch. Its worth losing money to chase that dream
