Robot is a machine. But ROBO makes them into "economic agents."
Ethical question: Is a machine that works 24/7, earns value, but the "owner" takes profit → is this modern slavery?
The difference is only: robots can't protest. Can't demonstrate. There are no human rights.
@Fabric Foundation says: "Proof-of-Contribution, fair compensation."
But compensation for whom? The owner, not the robot.
We create a new class: machine labor that is exploited by human capital holders.
You laugh? In the 1900s, people also laughed when they said "animals have rights."
In the 2040s, robot rights activists may demonstrate in front of your building.
Hold $ROBO
now = become a "plantation owner" in the era of machine slavery.
The morals are ambiguous. The profits are real.
Which do you choose: moral high ground or financial high ground?
