    Laziness is the number one skill anyone innovative should have. Whoever invented the wheel definitely didn’t do it because they liked work. It was because they hated it knew there had to be a better way.

    So, what we really need is lazier inventors. Only then will we get lazier robots.

      Give me 10k€ a month without me working and I’ll gladly become one of the so called “lazy inventors”.

        Smart companies do payout when employees find some way to save a bunch of money. I don’t know why so many companies have a “we own anything you invent clause in employment contracts” just stifles innovation.
