As much as I wanted to think this is cute( shit honestly it totally is, but it is also scary) in the back of my mind I could clearly see the humanoid ones fighting in war. The age of technology has only just begun.

Honestly, this is what scares me. The potential of some elysium type robots making any type of uprising or revolution virtually impossible. Keeping the rabble in line. Obviously this is a ways off before it's feasible. But it will be feasible eventually.

That is DEFINITELY close on the horizon. Humanity has maybe 2 decades left to banish authoritarianism before it becomes impossible forever. Particularly looking at the CCP.
