Not true, I love and respect all my friends and humanity in general. That being said I’d beat the servos off a clanker any day. I’m waiting for the day someone brings a fucking tin-skin on set to take some zitty PA’s job. I’ll be the first person smashing it to death in front of a 4K film camera. Robots have no place in the workforce until all of humanity is reasonably taken care of and don’t need to work. Until then all they’re doing is taking livelihoods away from people. That being said I never choose the evil option in games, neutral or good always, I do feel bad for NPCs.

It’s more of an argument that livelihood of human beings should not depend on employment or productivity. The system is intentionally kept that way to preserve stratified social hierarchies, because a small ultra-wealthy number of people would rather be aristocrats in a shithole banana dictatorship than middle managers in a post-scarcity communist state (with a higher standard of living).

I immediately imagine a scenario 100 years in the future with you in a bar, slightly drunk and provoked by the young’ns to get the old man to rant against the Silicos. One of the patrons overhears your offensively biocentric rant and asks you to check you DNA privilege and to stop using life exclusive language and to consider the feeling of silico-life forms and their struggles for equality. You then mock them with a silver-face impression “SoRrY, cOuLd NoT cOmPuTe” while doing robot arms. The bar tender, who is a synthetic, is on the verge of tears and asks you to leave…
