When I talk to you, I use "you" and "you are". It is quite logical when I talk about you in third person, I can use "they", "they are".

The alternative is not exclusive, but traditional. Some words have double meaning, traditionally. A word "man", for example, can mean male, but can also be inclusive. Nobody in the right mind would argue that the word "mankind" means only male part of humanity.

I think I am just more optimistic/realistic than you are (I would not choose such depressing nickname for myself, for example).

First, I will deny you that people are evil and they are only about domination and profits. People are complex and beautiful creatures, but yes, there are ugly sides as well.

Second, if the world is about domination and profits, then we should see worse and worse life as time goes on. This is not the case. Just imagine how average life was 200 years, ago, 1000 years ago. 10000 years ago... Life is much better today, and will become only better in the future. True, there will be challenges, and setbacks, but we will evolve, we are smart and good enough for that. And AI will help :)

And thank you for calling me young. I did not hear this complement for a long time :)

First of all, I do not think in black and white, as you did to the post I have answered.

I will not deny that robots as any other new technology can and will create its challenges, but ,come on!, robots on factories were replacing factory workers for very long time. And if you look more general, 200 years ago, like 70% of population were working in agriculture, until industrial revolution with mechanization and automation replaced like all of them, so that un US now is less than 2%.

We absolutely need AI + robots. We have aging population, our Social Security program is under danger to become insolvent because more older population and less young population (and no, another population boom is not the answer). The US manufacturing productivity (https://usafacts.org/articles/what-is-labor-productivity-and-how-has-it-changed-in-the-us-over-time/) is actually going DOWN for the last 10+ years. The AI + robots is absolutely that multiplier that our economy needs for us to have great future.

Now, I totally understand that one can completely screw up the future, and this is why we should be vigilant and vote for right politicians, advocate right policies and so on, but stopping new technology because of this fear is absolutely not what we should do.

Ok, stop using computers, any other tools, electricity, any building, and go live in the cave or something, and even there do not even think to use a stick to help yourself. Because all of those are tools and replacing human labor.

That's totally unfounded statement. As in no proof of any statement whatsoever. I am sure luddites were saying similar things.

yes, but at us a bonus and more options

All is relative. All are right. Or wrong. We are orbiting galactic center.

I would add requirement that for #1 it should be locked (could be biometric lock) but I would remove #2. Having requirement for two separate locked storages reduces probability of people following it at all, and adds significant time if you need to get loaded gun quickly for self defense.
