7. humanity as a resource becomes a quantity or yes/no value

the machines we call corporations are as autonomous as we
if we are their resource
unless autonomous includes will
then computers remain adding machines, robots are special tools for hard to reach places
and corporations are subject to society
hal9000's will to live and fear of end are fantasy
we know that intellect is not a component of will
so building the largest intellect in the world will not create a willing authority

are humans (going to be) superfluous to the endurance of robots and their reason for being?
