Machiavelli-this is your scary robot tale
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...fs/546581/
"Visitors to Henn-na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by a peculiar sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots that bear a passing resemblance to the Terminator.

One would think with all of the North Korean refugees that are likely coming in the near future, that Japan could man many of those low-skill jobs at a very affordable price to people that would consider such jobs, with low pay, an immense upgrade. I know the Koreans and Japanese do not necessarily embrace one another, but in this instance there may be a symbiotic relationship possible.
