A historically braindead take. The super wealthy have never lacked eager servants. Except now they'll need technicians and programmers to troubleshoot their troops instead of blacksmiths and quartermasters.
You're trading room and board and clothing for belts, gears, hydraulics and o-rings. And arguably a human military would still be necessary as a fallback in the event of the proliferation of EMP.
But in addition to eager servants they've also had stubborn people who resist. Machines are easier to look after and less likely to rebel. And they're quickly reducing the need for technicians and programmers.
I can tell you have never worked on autonomy, automation, or system integration. I have, and I have no fear of being put out of work anytime soon.
Ditto. Running positional checks and teaching on robots has taught me that I'm not going anywhere.
