I take it you haven't seen the recent advancements in both robotics and LLM powered agents
If it’s LLM and robotics it better get used to having dick in it
Nerd rapture into the loving arms of the godlike but submissive holo waifu and ultimate comeuppance for the unwashed rabble is always, always just around the corner. Just you wait.
Ahhh yes. In capitalism, if you create a machine that can replace say, 10 people, you don't give them 1/10 of the work. You fire them and maybe hire someone to operate it.
Machines and human workers can coexist. They don't have to replace them.
Edit: Of course they should replace them, but only after we get good living conditions for unemployed people, which are currently non-existent.
Yeah, we arent going to get our Jetsons future if we refuse to restructure our society towards not having to work instead of just fighting the tech because its taking our jobs away
The Jetsons had bullshit jobs for the sake of bullshit jobs. There's got to be a better way than that.
Just wait until someone connect chatgpt to one of those gigantic 3d printers that print buildings.
Are we really that far from having “AI” do this?
I think there were already projects of this with ChatGPT

Sort of... we can 3D print walls out of specific concrete blends that run nicely through an extended hose system that runs from the mud pump to the print nozzle. But, concrete has a limited time as mud before it starts to harden, so you can only print for so many hours before you have to stop and flush out the pump and hoses before it turns into rock, and the concrete mix can't be too chunky (like including gravel) to flow through the system.
Also, if you get all that right, then you can print walls... but not structural frames that would support a multistory building, or plumbing or electrical wiring or insulation or windows or roofs...
We're a long way from 3D printing a building wholesale.
Like so many dystopian stories, the real life version that eventually comes about is more cringe and shitty.
Compare a decades ago EvilMegaCorp as presented in fiction to the Steve Jobs-emulating ukulele-strumming hellworld corporations burning the planet down around us while trying to seem insincerely quirky about it.
Ultor in Red Faction was evil and all that, but imagine if Ultor was Le Epic X and all of its maneuvers were narrated by an aging very divorced apartheid dad.
