I think this is way too optimistic. I suspect these things will be only available to the already-quite-wealthy. While the poor (i.e., not billionaires) are left to rot and starve without jobs, property, or livelihoods. Then, when the poors (i.e. us) become too much of a headache, these things will be deployed to murder the poors (i.e. me).
I am imagining a world somewhere between the movie Elysium and Oblivion.

- NichoPaolucci 2mo ago> these things will be deployed to murder the poors You know, at that point, we've got nothing better to do than fight some robots. Kinda reminds me of that scene in Blade Runner 2049 where a band of scavengers shoot down K's fancy flying car with some type of harpoon, there are dozens of poor folk and just 1 of him. (Of course at the end the "rich" send a bunch of ballistic missiles down onto the scavengers, most likely killing all of them.)
