Reply to comment by BassoeG in What is the price point you would be OK with buying a humanoid robot for personal use? by crua9

>Why would the robot manufacturers sell their creations to get money which they can spend on goods and labor, instead of cutting out the middlemen by simply having their machines build and labor for them?

It is HIGHLY likely robots will be making robots. Elon Musk even was extremely open about this and this is how they will drive the price down. IDK if he will hit his $10k goal. But he openly said the first bit he will be making robots to work in his manufacture plants.

​

Also, money is likely to not gone away. UBI most likely will be here. But this doesn't fix scarcity.

The $10k thing is presumably in the long run. Short term early gen versions are gonna be super expensive and maybe only available like on-lease for enterprises and whatnot.

I imagine the short term will be so limited that the robot will be a novelty for rich people
