What are we actually gonna do about robots?
My friend and I were talking about the recent Figure AI demo.
He said that it wasn’t that impressive. That the human beat the robot in the end.
I said the human was almost injured, whereas the robot can just keep going forever.
We chatted about how it’s similar to when they had the last race a horse ever won over a car. Where we once only had the model T, we now have Ferraris and rocket ships.
We’re at the point now where humanoid robots are straight up better than or about to be better than humans at manual labor
What do we do now?
People keep talking about money and how everybody is gonna be homeless or the elites are gonna Terminator us, which is unreasonable and not worth spending much time on in my opinion. Regular healthy people are not gonna just keel over die or let their kids become homeless.
So what are they gonna do then?
Are we gonna just talk to the robots and they’ll do labor for us?
If nobody has a job, then how does money work?
Would we even use money at that point? I mean, if robots can provide food and shelter, then what would be the purpose of money?
If the bots can charge from the sun, grow food, cook it, inside a house they built, then what on earth are we waiting for???
This seems like the god sent solution to all the problems that have plagued our ancestors since time began, no?
What am I missing?
Edit: nobody so far has answers this with any reason. Lots of fear and rhetoric in this thread, very little sense, which is what I keep encountering.
Guys. I want a serious discussion, not a bunch of BS.
Don’t just say “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE REEEEEEE”
Actually engage with the topic please. Seriously.
