    Asimov also thought real people would be loathe to actually design and deploy killer robots

    I guess you could argue that UAVs are always controlled and monitored but we sure don't worry about these things being too "impersonal"

    also, when you can reproduce practically any materials with a replicator that runs off energy that is ultra abundant

    The thing that is weird with Star Trek is that even with replicators there will be things with value that you can't replicate, like real estate and orginal art. How would they handle that?

    I feel like we are just a few generations of computer and mechanization technology to make basic industrial von Neumann robots. On earth they would be useful, but if we could actually send some of them to the moon or mars they would fairly soon become either 1: A constantly growing production yard capable of producing enormous amounts of useful raw materials and basic machines/spaceships/whatever or more likely 2: An autonomous mechanical collective hell-bent on humanity's destruction. Either way that would be cool as hell.
