All that, yet he's still commuting home from work.
Are you talking about the commuting or the work? Why would he be working at all? We only have to work now because resources are finite. When they are no longer finite what will be the point of working? I just need a food/water machine. If, for some reason, rent still costs then I'll just find the best paying manual labor job and send my robots off to work there.
Because work is fun.

#103As a BBQ loving Texan, I find this fascinating. On the one hand, it does seem kind of creepy, on the other, this could be some cool resilient community-building technology to create a real alternative to the current food economy.
I don't think this will ever be a complete replacement for real meat. There are such subtleties to how an animal lives and what it eats that affect its taste. Wild hogs and domestic pigs are the same animal but taste entirely different (I prefer the wild variety).
Still, I'd prefer higher quality lab-grown meat created under safe and open conditions with some free range/hunted organic on the side to the factory farmed meat we're stuck with today. I drive 35 miles out of my way for groceries every week to avoid that stuff.

Working on what I want to work on is fun. Making rich people even richer by rewriting the same kind of CRUD apps over and over is not remotely fun. It pays really well though.
