Poczytałem takie se rozważania robotycznych niańkach (w ramach cyklu prowadzonego wspólnie z tymi od X Prize) na oficjalnej startrekowej stronie:
http://www.startrek.com/article/robot-caretakers-what-could-go-wrongNajwięcej uwagi autor poświęca robotowi Care-O-bot 3 (który mi nawet do "Tragedii pralniczej" pasuje, bo jak pralka kanciasty).
TU więcej o nim:
A to strona producenta:
http://accompanyproject.eu/Ponadto, co się poniekąd z poprzednim wiąże, poczytałem se również na blogu Washington Post wywiad z facetem, który napisał (i właśnie wydaje) pracę "Treconomic" (niby o
"StarTreku", faktycznie bardziej o perspektywach gospodarki
post scarcity):
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2015/07/07/what-the-economics-of-star-trek-can-teach-us-about-the-real-world/Kluczowy fragment:
Manu Saadia: There's no longer any necessity to work to sustain oneself. Machines complement our work as humans and allow us to escape the most dreadful effects of scarcity. Poverty, hunger, all that.
Instead of working to become more wealthy, you work to increase your reputation. You work to increase your prestige. You want to be the best captain or the best scientist in the entire galaxy. And many other people are working to do that, as well. It's very meritocratic, similar to my friends who are mathematicians or scientists. And it's extremely hard.
The nature of work is no longer tied to conspicuous consumption, or the necessity to actually feed yourself or to make money. Work has become something that allows you to increase your reputation, or your reputational capital. That's how it's depicted in the series.
That sounds similar to what other science fiction universes have predicted. When you get approval from other people, it allows you to spend it and gain real-world resources.
What's amazing to me is that this is an amazing time to think about this. We're beginning to get a few hints of what the post-money, reputation-based economy might look like, if you look at things like Instagram, Vine, places where people put a huge amount of work into basically just gaining a certain amount of reputation. It's fascinating to see. Or even Wikipedia, for that matter. The Internet has begun to give us a hint of how much people will work, for no money, just for reputation.Brzmi to dość baśniowo, aczkolwiek Mistrz chyba uznawał scenariusz
post scarcity za możliwy... choć potencjalnie prowadzący do
indiotyzmu.
