The auto replaced the horse. Between 1915 and 2006 the horse and mule population declined 63%. No need for horses. If we're the new horses then what happens? The US has 400,000,000 people and no need for 63% of the population. That means the disposal of 252,000,000 people or at the very best being dictated to how many children can be born.

I think that the cost savings will have to get passed down - but that doesn't mean CEOs won't still profit insanely. Remember: reduced production costs and higher consistent quality means there will be lots more competition - thus driving prices down due to easy, cheap market availability of most products. Once a stable base price settles, it'll then be a game of brand recognition and loyalty. It's the CEOs of the most frequented brands that will become the wealthiest.

It means that with over multiple millennia of hard labor, spearheaded by our ancestors, we have finally done it, we will have finally soon reached a point of abundance where the only thing we have to worry about is maintaining our own happiness, doing everything we've always wanted, stress free: Spending more time with our loved ones, exploring favorite hobbies/ discovering new ones, traveling the world, socializing better, etc!! So long as our leaders implement some kind of "Universal basic income", a set and fixed amount of cash allowance that each and every single person would receive once a month thats just enough to cover food, transportation, and other basic necessities, i cant imagine how life wouldn't get better; and if a person wanted to extend some extra cash flow to themselves, then they can choose to work for it.

One major correction: Most of these robots disrupting current industries won't be "humanoid". Robots will be far, FAR more efficient if they are designed for a specific range of tasks. They will need to be MANY different shapes and sizes. Some will be flat like Roombas. Some will be insectoid or spiderlike. Some will be "dog"-shaped, like the ones from Boston Dynamics. Some will be simple boxes with wheels and a bunch of arms on top. Some will mimic other animals like dolphins or snakes or turtles. Many will just be aerial drones with various attachments to change their function as needed. Relatively FEW will be "humanoid". There are only 3 actual reasons to make a human-shaped robot: 1. To deceive people into thinking they are human. 2. To "replace" a loved one who is dead. 3. Sex. For literally ANY other task, there are LIMITLESSS other shapes and sizes that are FAR more efficient to use than "humanoid".

1. Robot workers will indeed reduce the real costs of goods due to reduced labor costs, BUT all governments have an explicitly inflationary monetary policy. This means that governments will simply print and spend even more money to counteract any deflationary forces that may arise. Your stuff is NOT going to get any cheaper. 2. Low quality goods are NOT mainly caused by the limitations of human workers. That is certainly a factor, but the main reason for low quality is consumers who demand ever-cheaper prices. Often the only way to do this is to use cheaper materials or processes, which leads to shoddy goods. You will never see the disappearance of cheap and low quality goods until consumers change their preferences.

I worked all day and all night for years - double shifts. Loved it. Loved the money. And the stuff I could buy with the money. But I did not have a family that drained my resources like others in the comment section. It is difficult to be a father, husband, have lots of friends - and also focused and disaplined at working and making money all at the same time. And everyone needs time to rest and recharge. Having robot servants would make some of the household tasks easier and some of the difficult or dangerous jobs at work better - but the current slate of robots are still very limited. The progress on these robots is actually slowing down. More companies are jumping in and doing about what or sometimes a little less than those who have been in this business for 30 + years. Just making them look like humans isn't that big of an accomplishment. You need a general purpose robot at a much lower price point to be viable to sell to the public. We are not anywhere close to that.

The chances that the libertarian and neoliberal economic types that dominate AI tech are going to distribute, or pay taxes for the government to distribute a UBI sufficient to pay for housing, medical care, food, transport, etc etc etc is very near zero.

I agree that we need to find ways to implement UBI ASAP. Hopefully, as the cost of highly capable humanoid robots "powered by" AGI/ASI comes down and prices of other commodities drop, UBI income will rise and support demand for products created by AI and robotics. If that happens, we can just roll more or less "seamlessly" into this new world. However, a big key to that is to begin introducing and implementing UBI NOW! If it is actually inevitable that we are about to experience drastic deflationary pressure due to massive increases in productivity caused by AGI/ASI and robotics, perhaps this will be a situation where a judiciously applied inflationary monetary policy can actually save the world. 🤔

Satisfying work has given humans one aspect of _purpose_ also referred to as "something to do in life". If humans keep inventing ways to remove activities that give us _purpose_ in life, don't we lose interest in life? Without _purpose_ we quickly become bored, aimless then lethargic, and eventually lose all interest in living. A few movies have explored this issue such as Serenity (on the planet Miranda), and other shows that suggest AI becomes sentient and rises up against it's makers. Either way, these issues are what Malcolm expressed in Jurassic Park, "Your Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should".

The assumption that the better quality products will be almost equal to price for low quality products are wrong, mostly today quality is not dependent on how much work is put into the products, but what materials the product is made of.

[@dentonfender6492]

One thing I hope robots will bring is better built technology. The one aspect of cheap manufactured products, especially machines, and electronics from China today is that the products don't last very long with what I assume is built in obsolescence. Robotics will not need to make short lived consumer products as a means to keep production high over time. Almost everything can eventually be custom manufactured on the spot according to demand by robots, and 3D printing technology. Importing consumer products will be extinct because most anything could be 3D printed, and / or manufactured by robots at any location.

If ChatGPT is intelligent, why can't they just put it in a robot, and tell it what it's physical specs are. Shouldn't it be able to answer with a physical response just as easily as with a written one?? Even if it is not intelligent, why can't they do this. I just asked Aria - How do I pour a cup of coffee. Aria - Pouring a cup of coffee is a simple process that can be done in a few easy steps. Here is a basic guide on how to pour a cup of coffee: Prepare your coffee: Start by brewing your coffee using your preferred method such as a coffee maker, French press, pour-over, or any other method you prefer. Select your cup: Choose your favorite coffee cup or mug to pour your coffee into. Make sure it's clean and ready to use. Hold the cup securely: Hold the cup by the handle or on the sides to ensure a steady grip while pouring. Pour the coffee: Slowly and steadily pour the freshly brewed coffee into your cup. Be careful not to spill any and pour to your desired level of strength. Add any extras: If you like your coffee with sugar, cream, milk, or any other additions, you can add them after pouring the coffee. Enjoy your coffee: Once you have poured your coffee and added any extras, take a moment to enjoy the aroma and savor the taste of your freshly brewed cup of coffee. Remember, the process of pouring a cup of coffee can vary depending on personal preferences and the type of coffee you are making. Feel free to customize the steps to suit your taste and enjoy your coffee just the way you like it! So, if it can identify a coffee pot, a cup etc. and it knows what 'pour' means, it should be able to perform this task. If I ask it what a cup or coffee pot looks like, it will tell me accurately. So it already knows everything it needs to. So, obviously, it is not at all intelligent. Peace
