I’m no Peter Thiel fan, but I love his critique of DOGE:
> I had a conversation with Elon a few weeks ago about this. He said we’re going to have a billion humanoid robots in the U.S. in 10 years. And I said: Well, if that’s true, you don’t need to worry about the budget deficits because we’re going to have so much growth, the growth will take care of this.
- IshKebab 1y agoYou mean you won't have to worry about the budget deficits because society will probably have collapsed.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoAh yes society is made up of folding clothes and cleaning up after cooking.
- IshKebab 1y agoAnd construction, retail, warehousing, mining, farming, social services, etc. We aren't going to have 1 billion clothes folding robots.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoLet's solve that first maybe? Robot arm vacuums were just released few months ago. It can barely pick up socks and some types of slippers. There's still a long way to folding clothes.
- IshKebab 1y agoFolding clothes is notorious as one of the most difficult tasks. It will probably be solved last.
- turnsout 1y agoRight. I guess either way, dystopia or utopia, if we have 1B humanoid robots in 2035, literally no one will remember saving $10M by cutting one scientific grant program.
