In Karel Čapek‘s 1920 play «R.U.R.», when talking about those who created robots (in this case artificial humans) for their personal profit, the character Alquist says: «They dreamed of the dividends. And on those dividends humanity will perish.»
More than a hundred years later, this fictional warning sounds oddly contemporary.
