The best outcome is that the onset of robots doing much of the work is that it frees enough of the world from economic strife to end the need for warfare.

While this sounds good, I'm not sure this would happen for two reasons:
- we'd have to completely change the system of work / salaries / resource allocation - the way we're going right now we'll end up with smaller number of companies providing services / resources to huge society that is much larger than needed to support those companies
- I don't believe people have a need for warefare... they may actually be more interested in it, assuming their other daily needs are satisfied in an easier way
Why do you think automating much more work would make life better for people in general?
