As time permits I have been running computer simulations of the behavior of an
ECAT type of device in order to better understand its operating states. It
appears that there are three distinct regions of operation that are encountered
which have well defined characteristics. A brief discussion

He did, actually. Maybe not in "Profiles" but he saw that coming long

What he did not envision is that electronic books are music are often

This is not a bad thing though, music created by those who want to create
great music has always sounded better than commercially focused efforts.

Let me again point out that Arthur Clarke described this and all of the

I just had another idea.
Self sufficiency.
The idea is that with sufficient advances in 3D printers and robots.
And growing your own food in a personal multi level garden...
Maybe a goat to keep the grass short, provide milk and maybe eventually
meat...
Ok, that sounds like a stretch, but what a

It is easier and more efficient to hand out money. People who run soup

Bob, unlike Jed I do think your protectionist laws are plausible.
And while at first blush I considered them very promising, I then saw a
bunch of problems, and the largest problem as I see it is in a loss of
productivity.

I suggest you ignore Shanahan's blather. Let him go after some definitive
work such as McKubre, Storms or Miles. Kitamura's calorimetry was not
impressive years ago, although I doubt it was as bad as Shanahan imagines.
It is lately improved and the results are also better. See:

Ok, let's explore options...
1: Hand out free money, the devil is in the details it seems, but done
right this is promising.
2: Get paid for work a robot does, in the end this is similar as getting
money for free, except it requires too much initiative, outlay and luck.

I was beginning to think your arguments were based on black or white, no gray,

Okay not exactly capitalistic by present-day standards. I mean handing out

Many housemaids made a living doing laundry and other housework in the 19th
century. There were so many that magazines at the time announced a manpower

Nothing is inherently safe.
Everything is potentially dangerous.
Drinking water is toxic when too much is consumed. There is no such thing
as "safe sex".
Explosives are safe when used correctly and appropriately.
One way to minimize the dangers is to enact laws that can be used to

I hope you are correct.
Your argument about the washing machines probably allowed people to go to work,
