If the chances of failure are independent, the actual formula for the chance of failure of the entire device is:
1-(999,999,999/1,000,000,000)^1,000,000,000
or
63.2%
Something does not HAVE TO fail. 1 out of 3 chance nothing will fail.
Someone please explain to me how it's possible to pitch to the left? (Hint: what does pitch mean? roll? yaw?)

Why not ask the superintelligent robots for a better economic model that will benefit humanity?
Also, this reminds me of a short story called "The Midas Plague" in which people were forced to consume in order to keep the 'productive cycle' running. In this novel it was a privilege to live in run-down housing and have very few material possessions; the very poorest people lived in huge mansions with large staffs of robots and had to continuously consume.
Not that this is a good solution, just an interesting story. I like my proposed solution better.
