- EGreg 3y agoAnd why would they need this plumber’s services once the robot learns from 8000 plumbing jobs database?
- taneq 3y agoWhy would they pay the per-job API charge for RoboMario when an actual sweatshop worker is cheaper than the first-world electricity to run the server farm?

- btbuildem 3y agoBecause the real world is infinitely more messy than a database. Do a few plumbing fixes and you will immediately understand the vast challenge of automating that type of work. It's actually a fantastic example of probably one of the last jobs/trades to be automated.
- pakitan 3y agoSo, in our current reality rich people in rich countries are immensely worried about the fate of poor people in countries with terrible human rights abuses? But once avatar bodies are invented those fine folks will turn into blood sucking monsters?
- graemep 3y agoAre they that concerned? Some people are, and they will take some action - but only on what is reported in the media they read, and its very sporadic and random.
