Well, adults can get any cereal they want, and while honeycomb is kinda nice, is it really the one you choose when you get to have anything you want?
Its the "kids consolation prize cereal" when your nutritionally responsible mom wont get the terrible-for-you sugary one you really wanted.

Reply to TIL: "Jamaica Mistaica" is a song Jimmy Buffett wrote about the time Jamaican police shot his plane. The plane was also carrying U2's Bono when police, suspecting it was being used to smuggle drugs, began shooting. The plane (and its bullet holes) is now displayed at Buffett's Margaritaville. by theotherbogart
He sure wrote a lot of garbage.

Most of those are basically expensive toys($5000 for a seal robot that tracks eyes and flips its tail), and the ones that arent mostly fancy toys, are $$$$ prototypes. Not saying they are useless, or wont end up being badass and common some day. Saying it will be a LOOOONG time before there is a robot maid in every home.

We already have lousy robots to do the dishes..they run about $500.
It was actually invented in 1850, but didnt become commonly used until the 1950s, yet still a luxury item until the 1970s.
Robo-scarlet otoh, that would probably not have nearly as long an adoption timeframe.

The spectrum was barely more than a gaming system, and it was not particularly useful for business/home office related tasks. Home computers started to become a bit more popular in mid 80s, but they did cost like $2k+ in 80s dollars. When we got one around 87ish it was a big fucking deal. It had a monochrome screen, a dot matrix printer with punched paper feed, took massive floppies and didnt do shit other than some spreadsheets, word processing and was command prompt based.

Except that i have actual experience with producing a product, which a robot would be. I am intimately familliar with manufacturing and materials costs, transportation, qc and compliance testing, safety testing and all the other fun shit that goes into making consumer goods.
I probably have a slightly better bead on the situation than you do, bro

A digital singularity wont eliminate the cost of manufacturing physical compenents out of raw materials, transporting those raw marerials, and finished products, or other costs associated with actual robots.

Sure, but still not something the average family will be able to afford anytime soon(probably not in your lifetime), especially as most families dont have human labor costs, like maids, to offset the cost of a complex robot(or multiple single purpose robots).
The complexity of these things will be almost like a car, and the components will not be cheap printed circuitboards and screens in a plastic housing like cell phones or computers. They will have a LOT of precision moving parts requiring regular maintenance and repair. Dont plan on having Rosie from the Jetsons unless you are pretty rich.

These arent just circuit boards and screens in plastic cases. You got servos, motors, pistons, hydraulics, gearing, bearings, seals, etc.....and all those things also wear and tear compounding the issues. Shit like that costs a lot of money to build and maintain.
Im not convinced these robots will be affordable for the average person within 30 years. It will take a loooong time for the mass production of something almost as complex as a car to bring costs down to something resembling affordable for an average family.
Commercial robots otoh are a bit more likely. They are cheaper than hiring a human, they dont get tired, and they can work faster. Its cost effective on a commercial scale. Households dont have enough domestic work to warrant an $$$ robot to do a few tasks around the house.

No they wont....robots are expensive because they are made of costly conponents. They arent like ai software that can just be duplicated repeatedly for free.

That said, if i want a sugar-bomb cereal ive got a few items further up the list im gonna go for first.
