That's the nightmare scenario continuing as it's always done. A handful of monopoly pricks hoarding. They've already got the boardrooms, the capital, the politicians in their pocket. Why wouldn't they gatekeep the droids? That's why I don't want to give the concepts to those bastards. They'd just accelerate the depopulation they already fantasize about in their Davos circle jerks.

I don't have an answer for scraping together the insane materials cost to actually pull this off. Even a seed robot that might be able to replicate and build the rest (which also need materials) is eye wateringly expensive. It's like taking Johnny 5 and cramming several high-end PCs into it's head. I'm thinking of something basic like a webcomic, just enough to pull in scraps of revenue for a single high-end PC. For bootstrapping open software for not awkward narrative prose, another for empathy mimicry (to not instruct people to eat rocks or how to kill themselves) and a Large Language Model to run an early heartbeat agent AI as proof of concept (continuous memory, most have the memory of an Alzheimer's patient). Mashing those all together hasn't been tried yet. But if I knew how to actually build an audience for something like that, I wouldn't be stuck shitposting on this backwoods spam magnet of an imageboard that barely has two other souls crawling through it.

If anyone else gave a shit, I'd put together a small team of do it for free world changers. But nobody does this for free. Not the professions needed for it. And I'm a poor. I can't pay them. Living in a tent's not that bad. It's the begging on street corners for money while your skin turns to bacon that's the shitty part. I'd blow my brains out too before I ever did that.
