Household robots wouldn’t really do anything we haven’t seen before or can’t be done today with hired servants or slaves. Robots wouldn’t make much of a difference, it’s just no human required.
Augmented reality might still have a chance but who knows. That’s a lot of progress that has to be made, and it won’t be quick. Look how long VR has tried to catch on.

That’s a lot of progress that has to be made, and it won’t be quick. Look how long VR has tried to catch on. We've just seen the start of things editing reality instead of just AR overlays with papers like Dream Mix. Yeah it is a long way off from realtime. Hardware wise we already are close to being there on displays with Varjo XR-3 for passthrough AR. We have a path to full generative passthrough AR that really modifies the world instead of overlays, and we have the tech to keep making headsets more compact with microdisplays and pancake optics, with good enough brightness and HDR once we move to micro LED.
- CM30 4y agoThat's a pretty big change for the majority of the population that can't afford hired servants, or don't want to pay someone for that sort of work. At the moment, that sort of work requires you to have a decently upper middle class income/lifestyle, and it might not anymore.
