Maybe I'm still living in 2002, but I do not think robots can and will ever replace people for everything. Obviously they're already replacing cashiers and servers and drivers... but I can't go through the self-checkout at the grocery store without needing to call a human at least twice.

I agree 100%. However, for the crazy one percenters, they'd rather have a world with many fewer people and a little less convenience then having to deal with the unwashed masses like us using up THEIR resources. BTW, I always enjoy when I have to call over a REAL person at the grocery store when the self scanners fail. HA....small victories (-:
