Like this. Good work. I tend to go on about "What are people for?", and this is a good example of not asking the question when people are freaking out about competing with each other over bullshit jobs to make money to drive to bullshit jobs. The fundamental problem is that humans think of ourselves as the end-all, be-all purpose of Everything in the world, rather than a species that should have to service its environment (give more than it takes), as every other species has to do in order for offspring to survive. Our extraction philosophy of economics leads directly to Soylent Green as well as the Borg, if not simply machine replacement of the species.

Yet, I also wonder lately, how the recent pig-grown heart transplants play out in the Soylent Green scenario.

What would cooperative, networked solar-powered AI robots do without people, anyway? It seems like humans are more worried about the intermediate steps than the end game. Logically, we are inevitably obsoleted, so why waste time with Soylent Green?

In a sense, cars are the dominant species of the landscape, so it's already happened and humans just don't have the grace to fall over.
