What happens when the economy is dominated by robots?
Author: Alexander McQueen
Question by Gabe: What happens when the economy is dominated by robots?
When robots are smart enough to start their own business and only hire other robots to run those businesses b/c they are never late and incredibly efficient, wouldn’t robots make most of the money?
If this were the case, than couldn’t robots rally against any kind of government welfare, stating:
Why should we robots have to pay for lazy humans? If they are not as smart and as fast as we are, then that’s their fault. The government cannot steal from the rich robots and give to the poor humans, that socialism!!
Would you agree with the robots or humans?
Best answer:

‘EVE Online’ economy attacked by massive alliance of players
Author: Rod Sutherland
EVE Online’s largest economic hub is currently under attack by a massive alliance of the game’s most ruthless players, infamously known as “Goonswarm,” and they may succeed in damaging it. For those who haven’t heard of it, EVE is a gargantuan space-based MMO from developer CCP Games that’s been home to several rich tales of high-stakes drama since it launched in 2003. The open-ended game is like a Lockean dreamworld in its no-security (“null-sec”) areas, that are open to scamming, murder, corporate espionage, economic manipulation, ruthless warmongering, and mind-boggling heists. But many of EVE’s law abiding players stay within safe high-security (“hi-sec”) areas that have mostly protected them from null-sec raiders, much to the…

World Bank report finds selling virtual goods in games more profitable than ‘real’ economy
Author: Randy Miller
A report commissioned by the World Bank’s infoDev unit has cast fresh light on one of the more fascinating aspects of our brave new interconnected world: the virtual economy. The “third-party gaming services industry” — where wealthy but impatient players have someone else grind away at online games for them in exchange for monetary reward — is one of the focal points of the study, chiefly owing to it having generated revenues in the region of $ 3 billion in 2009 and now serving as the primary source of income for an estimated 100,000 young folks, primarily in countries like China and Vietnam. What’s encouraging about these findings is that most of the revenue from such transactions ends up in the country where the virtual value is produced, which contrasts starkly with some of the more traditional international markets, such as that for coffee beans, where the study estimates only $ 5.5 billion of the $ 70 billion annual market value ever makes it back to the producing country. The research also takes an intriguing look at the emerging phenomenon of microwork, which consists of having unskilled workers doing the web’s version of menial work — checking images, transcribing bits of text, bumping up Facebook Likes (naughty!), etc. — and could also lead to more employment opportunities for people in poorer nations. To get better acquainted with the details, check the links below or click past the break.

The 2011 Chevy Volt Finally Gets Its EPA Fuel Economy Numbers: 93 MPGe / 37 MPG
Author: Alexander McQueen
Here it is, treehuggers and haters. The EPA’s rating of the Chevy Volt: 93 when on electric, 37 combined city/hwy on gasoline, which works out to a 60 MPG composite . Those combine to give the Volt an average range of 379 miles, although, just like with the Leaf, the total range for EV-only topped off slightly less than what the manufacturer advertises. Those keeping score will also note that the Leaf was rated at 99MPGe earlier this week with a total yearly cost of ownership at $ 561.  So yeah, let the arguing continue.
These numbers will no doubt reignite the vehicle’s pros and cons argument from offices to TV’s talking heads. They certainly aren’t the 230 mpg GM prematurity bragged about last year, but they’re still, in my opinion, totally respectable for a first of its kind vehicle. Clearly it’s not the Earth’s savior, but the constant development from GM, the Voltec powertrain will mature and improve with each generation.
Good or bad, these EPA numbers where the final stopping block preventing the Volt from entering production. Now that they’re out, the 2011 models can finally start rolling out of GM’s Michigan-based Hamtramck Assembly.

Improving the fuel economy of heavy vehicles
Author: James Cliff
While there are fuel consumption standards for passenger cars, there is no such regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in the U.S. With such vehicles accounting for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. regulators are looking to establish fuel economy standards for these vehicles in the next few years. Now a new U.S. report has been released recommending the best ways to measure and regulate fuel economy for these vehicles, and assess technologies that could improve it. Amongst its findings, the report says that some vehicles could cut their fuel use by about 50 percent through the use of a combination of technologies.
