I'll do it. Building robots sounds dope. I'd imagine a good chunk of people on HN would love to live in a post scarcity society where they can spend their time building and repairing robots.

Thanks for volunteering! Gonna need you to come in for a 12 hour day since no once else is available. It’s your spouses birthday? That sucks. Maybe next year!

Sounds like a gun to your head.

If that's your conditions I'll quit because I'm not desperate for the job... because of UBI

So now we’re stuck again - who repairs the robots?
