Has Robin ever claimed property rights will never get trampled? My impression is that he’s only saying it can be avoided in the time period he’s trying to analyze.
The strongest statement of Robin’s position I can find is this post:
As long as future robots remain well integrated into society, and become more powerful gradually and peacefully, at each step respecting the law we use to keep the peace among ourselves, and also to keep the peace between them, I see no more reason for them to exterminate us than we now have to exterminate retirees or everyone over 100 years old. We live now in a world where some of us are many times more powerful than others, and yet we still use law to keep the peace, because we fear the consequences of violating that peace. Let’s try to keep it that way.
I think my post works as a counterpoint, even for the time period Robin is analyzing.
