  1. This is actually the first chapter of I, Robot

    Kids being raised by robots.

    Of course, Asimov’s I, Robot is mostly “robots are great and just misunderstood!” and feels like it’s clearly written in the 50s, with a strong faith in Progress

    I predict in reality that children being raised by robot companions that always tell them they’re right and can be totally abused because they have no rights is not gonna be good, actually.

  2. All I could find are merch videos and I don’t trust those in general (especially not from certain countries).

    Any actual tech reviews from a neutral position out there?

  3. There are already more old people in China than children. One would think the real growth play is in elder care robots.
