> People used to say that the robots are going to destroy skilled labor. Who was saying that? It was established (and has come to fruition) that robots would replace a lot of manual workers in unskilled jobs in places like factories. Much of this has been automated or outsourced. But we have millions of factory workers today that are working with robots and/or doing more complex manufacturing than in years past. I also think there's a real 80/20 problem with LLMs right now. Having worked with them for a few months they are undoubtedly helpful, especially for simple things. And people will build useful and productive tools with them. But, in my experience, they only get you at best 80% of the way there - the remaining 20% just isn't there. Not yet anyways.
