If a peaceful solution through our governments can’t be found, either the poor people will revolt and somehow nationalize the robots, or the capitalists will use the robots eliminate the poor people whose labor they don’t need anymore. Either is a dystopian future that is more likely than most think.

FTFY, I'm personally not interested in "binning" the future into simple extremes, and the odds of it being anything else than what is encompassed by either:

> nationalize the robots, or the capitalists will use the robots eliminate the poor people whose labor they don’t need anymore

are very high imo.
