I have no problem with this advert for robotics. I’m not a Luddite. I want what they will bring. That said, it amazes me how little people understand what is happening. This is not like any technological job replacement that has happened before. Ray warns about using past events to gauge our exponential technological growth.
When the Luddite movement happened,, it was in response to a single technologicaljob disruption. When robots hit they will affect every aspect of every job. It’s not just robots. Strong AI will consume far more. Ray like to say that in the past, as jobs were lost at Tge bottom, new jobs will be created on the top. I’d like to know what makes those jobs special that AGI and robotics won’t be better at them than us. Especially since we will be so dependent on cloud thinking. Why not skip the expensive human labor and use the cheap super AI,robotics labor. At the very least, it promises to be extremely disruptive. It should pit tremendous stress on society. It has the potential to incite a massive Luddite response. It’s the speed of transition that will be most alarming.
