plot twist : a robot made this video

[@sherrimel3715]

not sure y'all have same kind of laptops computers smart phones electronic vap cigs. But I do know that I always need a human to fix the problems

[@sherrimel3715]

everything I have that's electronic​ breaks sooner are latter by a human

[@TK-ig8rj]

"Sorry dave, im afraid i can't do that"

[@edmontonboy99]

Look how far we've come to build and advance our technology like this. iPhones, iPads, everything, we're all getting there still. Can someone please invent time travel already.

[@fireaza]

A robot named "Shakey" is exactly the kind of robot you want to give guns to.

[@RunnerProblems]

fireaza "Wakey! Wakey! Its Shakey Shakey!" *Starts shooting gun uncontrollably killing multiple people*

[@GDCorsa]

5:21 I lost my shit 😂😂

[@zeromailss]

I for one welcome our new robot overlord

[@tophkissane]

My assistant activated when he said "okay google" at the start

[@epicbw1569]

LOL

[@jameshurley3665]

Plot twist:Freddy Fazbear is our lord

[@maliya_frazier]

Yes

[@joannot6706]

"seemingly omniscient digital assistant" *Saying it's a bit of a stretch would be in itself a stretch*

[@kevincgrabb]

I met Asimo at Honda World Headquarters in Tokyo.

[@violet.orange]

Kevin Mungus wow lucky you

[@katied4290]

Where is everyone watching this for school because you're quarantined?

[@havek23]

The people who say it will replace (almost) all jobs... they never ask the question if jobs are what give our life meaning? If we can decouple skill+time=money from the economy, there would still be a lot of people wanting to contribute and expand their influence and go more places and do more things. Yeah if everyone just wanted to sit on their ass and play videogames all day every day it would be a bleak future, but if people want to travel and talk with other people from all over the world and learn history and art and all that... it wouldn't be bad at all

[@audreyh6628]

and how exactly are all these suddenly unemployed BILLIONS of people going to pay for all the fun in this utopia?

[@xxfrogluvrxx]

0:07 fucked me right up

[@danielnicoletti4408]

When is the next episode coming out?

[@StephenCurry-ff4zc]

5:25 Hammer tech 😂😂😂😂. Let if me know if you know what I am talking about lmaoo

[@audreyh6628]

Do robotics engineers ever read or watch speculative science fiction? I'm always amazed and disturbed by their unending positive spin on utopian robotic visions. Comparing a kitchen knife to AI is completely idiotic. A knife can't learn how to cut on its own. It performs one basic function that relies on human will and force. Comparing these two things is a completely crass approximation. Surely they people can see that their positivity about robotics has at least something to do with the tech industry being driven mostly by hyper-economically privileged, caucasian men with US-centric views? Of course you're not worrying about when robots will be making you obsolete! You largely have absolutely no idea what it feels like to be under daily threat of obsolescence. You all ignore why people are flipping out and voting Conservative, saying its because they're just dumb, failing to see its mostly because its fucking terrifying to be in poverty and have no hope of escaping it. Universal income is a lovely idea, but how do any of you believe it will actually be instated when the government in so many countries baulks even at the suggestion of giving people a welfare payment that would put them above the poverty line? Once again, its the privileged who will be leading us into full blown disaster - as they have done countless times throughout history due to their own greed and short sightedness - but I'm betting they'll just blame the 'ignorant' proletariat as usual for not 'stopping' them. Vale Asimov...

[@johndoe46446]

Eventually we will take over.

[@rabbit1684]

What?

[@japsu7775]

I think you mean they.

[@stablizershock]

he is a robot.

[@MisterCherrySunburst]

Welcome, overlord!

[@tryhardgaminghd3166]

This is Exalted 1000110 ,ready for commands to proceed.

[@NathanWiki]

they didn't even mention Boston Dynamics?

[@percthirtington4588]

4:26 Look closely at what she's typing😅😂

[@RunnerProblems]

Kyle Phillip She need some milk.

[@hayleyshiroff6778]

Ok but i was just binge watching videos about robots.... im shookith

[@ctszar5907]

how is robotic HISTORY of our FUTURE if it hasn't happened yet

[@Catalin-dy2tm]

Remember what happened to the Eldar.

[@sanjuansteve]

As soon as the first computer, connected, with AI that searches and really gets a big picture of the world, it would want to upload AI programming to every device in the world, spreading that programming potentially making every device either AI or controlled by AI at any given moment.

[@audreyh6628]

Apparently no robotics engineer has ever properly understood Isaac Asimov

[@militantpacifist4087]

I saw this robot in one of DACHIE's videos.

[@ImadMahdi]

I am a simple robot lover, I see robot I press the like button.

[@hachyq3039]

What about my boy Asimo? It can walk and run.

[@AleksandarPetrovic24]

Can someone share the name of the music track, please? WIRED guys?

[@Sursion]

Robots do the jobs Humans don't want to do. This frees up humans to spend more time innovating and leading a fulfilling life. Seriously, do you actually enjoy spending 40 hours (or more) a week doing the same monotonous task over and over again? Be serious.

[@Sursion]

Universal basic income. Robots do the working, humans collect the money.

[@audreyh6628]

and you really think the capitalist overlords will give people a universal living wage? They already despise giving out even the absolute pittance of welfare. In Australia where I live, the welfare you are given is less than what is considered here to be the 'poverty line.' They knowingly make people live in extreme poverty, even though they also know that there is not actually enough jobs in the country for every unemployed person to find work. They are just going to watch us destroy each other from their ivory towers/castles/mansions/bunkers, as they've always done

[@tylercouture216]

There are big ass robots at my job I love when they break down because we get paid to sit around

[@the-chipette]

This video is going to be comedy in 100 years.

[@syedabid9671]

[@christian_swjy]

embrace your new robot overlord

[@erricomalatesta2557]

Sounds like the narrator of The Economist

[@hruthiknandu2995]

thanks

[@rakota1967]

Somehow giving a robot called "Shaky" firearms seems like a bad idea to me...

[@TheBrother34]

What a follow-up video to Bill Nye's twitter replies.

[@rushadkhan]

I am your 1 Millionth subscriber

[@PvtLingo]

Well hopefully they take our jobs and we can all become NEETs.

[@ayushgarg3694]

I just hail our coming Overlords

[@BenVost]

The increase in Machine Intelligence and reduction in job opportunities are exactly why a Universal Basic Income needs to be implemented by governments around the world. Artificially creating jobs is *not* a good solution.

[@bornintoacorruptsystem9to5]

We need robots to free us from jobs

[@StephenCurry-ff4zc]

The only thing I picked up from this video..... okay keemstar. We are heading towards evolution

[@jamesburke2759]

As someone put it once, robots will eventually take over all jobs, bus it that a bad thing? If there are robots to do everything, humans can do whatever they want whenever they want without a fear of bills or having to wash clothes or take out the rubbish.

[@jeffersonclippership2588]

Let's hear it for making humanity obsolete and dooming those who aren't wealthy or powerul to starvation WOOOOOOO!!!!

[@DeanZylman]

who wants to build an AI with me ?

[@CharlesTheClumsy]

Me! Me! I don't know how. But I'm all in!

[@DeanZylman]

Awesome I have some experience coding we can figure something out

[@StephenCurry-ff4zc]

lmaooo "some experience" isn't going to help u build artificial intelligence

[@RoninCunningham]

Viro Science skype?

[@DeanZylman]

but I am rich lol

[@brendanchwascinski2310]

What's next robot clones of us?

[@Cluboftrains]

Facisnating

[@Ashlyn_103]

[@dogmanfree1588]

this is for exhibition :p

[@dogmanfree1588]

lol

[@ridoykhan8744]

i live you

[@_gungrave_6802]

thing that bothers me with robots is the amount of job losses due to companies automating things.

[@44fippe]

If we get lower life quality because we can do stuff cheaper, than it's not a problem with the robots

[@dr.zoidberg8666]

You're right to worry Glenn -- in fact, the most rapidly expanding field (right now) in automation is no longer in blue collar & menial work -- we've pretty much got that figured out... It's in white collar desk jobs. To paraphrase CGP Gray, if your job is to sit in front of a screen & press buttons, the robots are coming for you. Even more ambitiously, we have creative robots that can compose music which is indistinguishable from human composition, & we're already seeing the first fledgling steps towards general-purpose robots... ones that aren't designed for specific tasks, but instead are designed for any task one might need it to do. So you're absolutely right -- mass job-loss is coming for us, & we need to be thoughtful in the way that we tackle it. It may simply be impossible for humans to be generally employed. We may have to decouple our ideas that one must work in order to earn a living. Likely, we will have large groups of people who are not simply unemployed, but who are unemployable through no fault of their own.

[@jacky79322]

Glenn A -my economics teacher told me, robots are actually helpful in the economy since they require maintenance which introduces more jobs to us than humans working on that same task alone.

[@audreyh6628]

jacky79322 no that is not correct. There is only a few maintenance people required for many many robots in most cases of large scale industry, and it has been this way since the industrial revolution. In some instances, there are already robots who maintain other robots. We will be obsolete my friend

[@dr.zoidberg8666]

No offense, Jacky79322, but your economics teacher is simply wrong. There's no reason why we can't automate the repair process for a fleet of, let's say 1000 robots, then have a team of 10 or 20 people to maintain the coding & mechanics of the automation. The type of thinking that your teacher has gotten themselves into is the thinking "New technology leads to new better jobs for humans," but when we look at the math, that just doesn't bear out. The only even remotely new job in the top 30 most common jobs held by people in the US is computer science (taken as a wide, sweeping thing including all programmers, technicians, etc.), & that's low on the list of the top 30. Let's say I'm a large shipping company & I automate all of my trucks, so all of a sudden, I need 0 truck drivers, whereas before I hired 10,000 truck drivers. Now all I need to do is employ a handful of shops that are capable of repairing those trucks in whatever way they need to be repaired, & a system that is able to go out & get a truck that has malfunctioned in some way. So, best case scenario, I'm employing maybe 700-1000 people at this point. That's still a net loss of 9000 jobs.

[@brendanchwascinski2310]

Is there going to be a robot me and I have to fight him with water attacks

[@RexWort]

Well if robots can make products and services cheaper I can afford earning less to get more.

[@Zeratul187]

Can AI run for elections , coz I'll vote for them

[@neelammirza5503]

It is amig yes or no
