Yesterday I saw myself entering a seven-eleven on Yonge street. Something is up. I was glad to see I had a blonde on each arm though. I am glad my clone is successful. I kind a thought it would be. The fellow down the block with the mustache who says he wants to be a painter and speaks with a german accent has me wondering, though. Should I encourage him? He says the people need control. Organization and socialization are the keys to peace and harmony. Kind of a seductive concept. His friend accross the hall is a bit dark and skinny. He has hinted that he will have an advertising porfolio in the company he is building. A portly fellow that comes to visit him has a thing for flying. They are up to something. hmmmmm...

You don't want Bob too smart. You want him to stay with his foot on the apparatus and his hands on the shovel, hour after hour, day in day out. If he makes 5 dollars a day, you clone him 24,000 times and that is 120,000 per day, $43,800,000.00 per year. Henry Ford did it, and it did not do him too much harm. Eventually by careful observation and advanced robotics, you duplicate all of Bob's observations and movements until Bobot can do exactly same thing. Then you de-certify the union and build the plant somewhere else with machines.

It's sort of liking building atomic tweezers. Tweezers of sufficient fineness can get atoms to do what they want them to do. All you have to do is build sufficient tweezers and you can manufacture chemicals of any purity desired.

For instance this post was done by a Robot. A program looks in the inbox, selects words at random, looks in a dictionary for like subjects, predicates and objects and composes a reply on a suitable theme.

Robotic reply is undetectable by ~!@$@~~@$ and usually goes unnoticed.
