Absolutely fantastic. To the top of the sub you go. Generalist android labor is coming hard and fast. The world is about to become a VERY different place. One of my fears was that robot labor would significantly lag behind the displacement of white collar work. As long as they both emerge more or less together that presents a much faster transition away from capitalism.

While it will lead to more instability and problems short term, it will definitely mean legislators won't be able to turn a blind eye to the job displacement for nearly as long. I realized just a week or so ago that robotics isn't nearly as far behind as we initially thought.

People think in increments and that's true to an extent but breakthroughs lead to big jumps e.g. chatgpt; robotics will have its chatgpt moment within a few years

I think physical robot labor will probably lag behind digital labor by a lot just as a matter of scalability. It’s a lot easier to whip up 1 million AI personal assistants than it is to whip up 1 million robots.

While this is true at a surface level it's another exponential process (within reason and limited by logistics). You build your initial factory and every robot produced does nothing else but bolster the infrastructure necessary to build more robots until you hit some critical mass of production and then send them out to do everything else (all calculated and coordinated by the AGI). That's the smartest thing to do but it relies on the government pulling their heads out of their ass. Instead we'll probably continue to rely on capitalism and draw the whole fucking process and pain out way longer than necessary.

I guess this kinda puts the argument "how will the AGI/ASI interact with the world" to bed as a reason not to be concerned about alignment (which seems to be en vogue at the moment. )

Wild to think we might actually have useful consumer humanoids within the decade. It's been sci-fi for so long.

Cool, hope this leads to robots in the real world sooner rather than later.
