>the company will succeed at developing AI systems that make most human labor obsolete.
Hmmmn. Most of the humans where I work do things physically with their hands. I don't see what AI will achieve in their area.
Can AI paint the walls in my house, fix the boiler and swap out the rotten windows? If so I think a subscription to chat GPT is very reasonably priced!
- renonce 2y agoI don’t know but once vision AI reacts to traffic conditions accurately within 10ms it’s probably a matter of time before they take over your steering wheel. For other jobs you’ll need to wait for robotics.
- LtWorf 2y agoIt has to react "correctly"

- windowsrookie 2y agoObviously if your job requires blue-collar style manual labor, no it's likely not going to be replaced anytime soon. But if your job is mostly sitting at a computer, I would be a bit worried.
- eastbound 2y agoGiven the low quality of relationships between customers and blue-collared jobs, i.e. ever tried to get a job done by a plumber or a painter, if you don’t know how to do their job you are practically assured they will do something in your back that will fall off in 2 years, for the price of 2x your daily rate as a software engineer (when they don’t straight up send a paperless immigrant which makes you culprit of participation to unlawful employment scheme if it is discovered), well… I’d say there is a lot of available money in replacing blue collared jobs with AI-powered robots. Even if they do crap, it’s still better quality that contractors.
- jimnotgym 2y agoShoddy contractors can then give you a shoddy service with a shoddy robot. Quality contractors will still be around, but everyone will try and beat them down on price because they care about that more than quality. The good contractors won't be able to make any money because of this and will leave the trade....just like now, just like I did
- eastbound 2y agoThe argument “pay more to get better quality” would be valid if, indeed, paying more meant better quality. Unfortunately, it’s something I’ve often done, either as a 30% raise for my employees or giving a tip to a contractor when I knew I’d take them again or taking the most expensive one. EACH time the work was much worse off after the raise. The sad truth of humans is that you gotta keep them begging to extract their best work, and no true reward is possible.
- drooby 2y agoOnce AGI is solved. How long does it take for AGI (or human's steering AGI) to create a robot that meets or exceeds the abilities of the human body?
- LtWorf 2y agoIt has difficulties with middle school mathematical problems.
- reducesuffering 2y ago1.5 year old GPT-4 is getting 4/5 on an AP Calculus test, better than 95% of humans. Want to guess how much better at all educational tests GPT-5 is going to be than people?
- LtWorf 2y agoI think the kind of problems we do in italy aren't just "solve this", they are more "understand this text, then figure out what you have to solve, then solve it"
- reducesuffering 2y agoThat sounds like the word problems that are on American AP Calc tests. You can be the judge of them here: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap24-frq-calculus-ab.pdf https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap24-frq-calcul...
- LtWorf 2y agoBut I'm talking about stuff that can be solved with very easy mathematics. Using nothing more than +-*/
- reducesuffering 2y agoChatGPT solves all +-*/ I throw at it. AP calc are much harder and still it solves successfully.
- jerrygenser 2y agoRobots that are powered by AI might be able to.
