Capitalists are freaking out over the declining birthrate because anyone with a brainstem knows "AI" and robots won't replace human workers for a long time, and the machine is hungry.

It seems like its just ethno-nationalists freaking out. Capitalists have been tackling this problem with immigration for a long time.

McDonalds threatened to replace their employees with machines, and when they tried it cost them millions....

"15 an hour? Meet your replacement!" was nothing but a scare tactic, if machines were viable they'd already be in use.

I imagine they will finally succeed in having robots running the operations, but there will be a warehouse full of underpaid wage slaves controlling the robots from somewhere in India

Lol. What? Who? Which "capitalists"?

I swear, Lemmy is sometimes just as bad as the far right talking about "antifa".
