So when we're sending robots to war to fight against other robots, with no human interaction or with humans merely at the controls, it will be like a military budget version of Robot Wars.
The problem is that a country that has robots to fight its wars will never fight a war against another country with robots. If you feel strongly enough about an issue to declare a war over it, you should be prepared to lose your life over it. Drones should be banned from wars, because they remove the human and moral cost of war. War should not be fun and entertaining. They should be dark and horrible. People should be getting cut down, exploded, and shot in a war. Because otherwise you have no reason not to go to war for every little pretext that comes up.
HMan On the contrary, I think the world would be a better place if we could all resolve our problems by playing Robot Wars. But unfortunately that wouldn't stop countries from attacking the enimy directly if they disagree with the result.

That autism robot seems like a perfect idea. As a human being who "suffers" from autism I had to go trough the painstaking psychological torture that is therapy. And not your run-of-the-mill type of therapy. No, it's worse. Having to look at faces of people and say what emotion they're feeling. I hated it. But after a year or two I could finally see the difference between fear and sadness and such. And it has it's benefits. It now is a lot easier for me to express my emotions to show people how I feel. Which in turn makes me pretty good at acting. And I have always dreamed of becoming and actor. Even though I'm far from that goal yet. And an autistic moron that didn't feel any kind of empathy wouldn't make for a good actor either. And If you read trough all of this, I'm sorry for wasting your time.
Great work shining light on this topic in a brilliant humorous way...luv 8! When I tried doing this in the past to friends n fam, I just sound plain crazzzzy. Keep it coming Robo-Joe!
You barely touched on one aspect. The middle ground between robot helpers and robot killers is robot replacements. A robot does not have to kill us to destroy us. In "With Folded Hands" robot helped us so much they made our lives useless and pointless, for our own good.
2 things; 1) On the front of industrial robotics, look into mining robots. There are nearly fully automated mines out there where the mining rigs, trucks, etc are all automated... and really really big! 2) Your last point was essentially the premise of Kerzweil's "Age of spiritual machines" which was a fun read back in the day. The best part of his books are the predictions. He is always off on the timing of when things happen, but he is amazing accurate on how the technology is applied. Fun episode! Keep up the good work!
I really hope my sons go into this field. Once we build and launch construction robots into space I think we will start making leaps and bounds in all sorts of fields. Also, keep the beard, I’m new here but your beard is like Rikers beard. It makes you more distinguished and adult looking.
Damnit Joe you don't have enough videos! Ugh love them all almost through most after only a few days peppered into play lists to keep me thinking while I work.
Love robotics vids man.. good one. You need to do a vid on bio-fuels. I personally believe they will be the next big "thing" with regard to energy production in the future.
The problem with robots fighting your wars is that suddenly you no longer have any reason NOT to fight wars. Personally I think drones of all kinds should be banned from war. If you want to fight a war, you should evaluate that decision in terms of acceptable loss of life. It forces you to consider the actual human cost of your war. If you remove this, you end up in a situation where the human cost of a war appears to be zero for your own side, and somehow loss of life on the opposing side loses all value. If you want to kill someone you should be going there yourself and do it face to face. You should be willing to lose your life over it. If you are not, then the war is probably not justified.
Pretty sure they explored that (in a sense) in the first season of Star Trek "A Taste Of Armageddon". War got so automated between 2 planets that computers tallied casualty lists from virtual attacks, and then the people went into disintegration chambers, which pissed Kirk off so much that he got rid of the computers, breaking the "treaty" they had with their enemy such that they had to fight real battles with real people, scaring them into actually finding a way to end their 500 year war altogether.
Yeah I distinctly remember that episode, I guess it must have influenced my thinking here subconsciously lol. Bottomline is lives lost is the cost of war, and war shouldn't be free.
HMan Loss of human life has never stopped war before. It’s not a cost of war that needs to be budgeted, it’s just an unfortunate consequence. Soldiers are expendable pawns and have been for all of human history.
@@obo2881 Sure, but soldiers have family and loved ones that won't take kindly to them being pushed through a literal meat grinder over nothing. Who cares if you lose a few thousand robots, you can just make more. This gives you an avenue to justify the killing of the "enemy". People just like you at the mercy of their government's decisions.
Hi Joe - Have look at "von Neumann probe" theory.... interesting concept with regards to space exploration and robotics. Also, I highly recommend reading "For we are Legion" by Dennis E Taylor
So, I have you set up with an alert... but I'm not getting notified of your videos or getting them recommended to me. Thought you'd want to know. Love your videos.
I'm a chef and that chef robot is a joke in my opinion. It can only make what its programmed to make or learns to make through watching videos but, I can come up with recipes off the top of my head. I know what flavors and seasonings taste great together but, a robotic chef has no taste buds. Even though human error would eventually catch up to me. I still think I could run circles around a robot in a kitchen and produce better tasting food at a faster pace then a robot that couldn't improvise at a moments notice long story short I'm pretty sure I could "John Henry" that Chefbot in any restaurant style kitchen. Also I think this is a great tv show idea the John Henry experiment- professionals in their fields vs the most advanced robotics in their fields.
So you are right for now and thats because robots are mostly mechanical. But when robots integrated with powerful AI like Watson start compiling and analyzing inputs from millions of chefs around the world, possibly in a matter of days, their knowledge will far outstrip that of any individual. They will be able to predict successful combinations of ingredients that we may never have anticipated. So they will be intelligent AND innovative. That point is when robots will take over human jobs.
And when a single master AI server in a tech company building can do the heavy lifting and distil insight from massive amounts of data, it can transmit only the insights and conclusions to millions of connected less powerful, more mechanical AI in restaurants, bars etc. So even one very powerful AI platform for the restaurant industry could change everything by offering in essence, AI as a Service. AaaS .
Kasperov thought the same thing in 1997 before he was trounced at chess by Deep Blue. Lee Sedol had humanity's confidence before being beat at Go 4 games to 1 in 2016 by AphaGo. Every time someone says it can't come for them some room full of nerds thinks "oh yeah?". What is taste? Chemical analysis really. This ingredient plus that ingredient with these proportions equals that flavour effect. Cooking? These tools, that temperature, this technique equals some result. Make-do with random ingredients in a kitchen? Easy inventory control coupled to a recipe database. If a human pursuit can be approached with intuitions about reality then it is accessible to automated measuring and processing. So far there is nothing to suggest magic in anything we do. While we may not know precisely how to do a bunch of things it's just a matter of time for measuring instruments and mechanical processes to crack all the nuts we currently think are uncrackable. Honestly I hope we choose to hang on to some pursuits as purely human. They will be the sole islands on which we plant humanity's value. Let's keep cooking as a solely human pursuit. Or composing and performing music. Just anything that we can tell ourselves we are special.
I used to write a significant number of essays about AI and robots. And I always came back to the concept of robot rights. If we make robots a race of slaves, don't you think that the Terminator scenario is inevitable? To me, to avoid the Terminator or the end of The Matrix, we have to consider and assure robot rights BEFORE true AI happens. And think about the analogy if we developed a biological slavery - that would be asking for trouble - so why don't we consider the same for robots?
An unmentioned concern with military robots is the lower threshold for going to war: the lower the risk of loss of life is to "our" side in waging war, the more likely we are to go ahead and do it. Though this is also an issue generally with building up military capacity & capability (robotic or otherwise).
hey dude, great channel (yes, you can quote that if you ever read this out). I see you cover a lot of SpaceX but I don't see any videos on Skylon or the SABRE engine. Any updates. I much prefer such information in the format of one of your vids.
I built a “robot overlord” at my last work. Most of the people came to work, and spent all day doing what the computer told them to do. Even the other builders and myself spent the day doing tasks assigned to us by the system, that we wrote. Everyone was very happy, and joyfully obeyed. Most people will gladly obey the robotic overlords.
TheAllegiantTraitor robota IS a forced labor. peasants or vassals where sent to a Lords’ property and only after that they could work on their own...very simplyfied but there you go. Edit: just the difference in czech words -> práce vs. robota
Really? I had no idea the word has so different meaning in Czech compared to Slovak. Slovak robota means primarily HARD labor, but not necessarily forced.
Have you done an episode on downloading your consciousness? From what I hear it's actually impossible and would result in nothing more than a copy of your current brain's thought process
I said posted this in another comment, but I will post is here as well.... There exist multiple theories on how this would happen. The simple "upload your consciousness" idea would indeed only make a copy of yourself, leaving the real "you" to die. However, there are some interesting theories on how we can completely leave our biological selves behind while saving our original consciousness. Most of these theories involve adding artificial neurons to the brain over a long period of time to ensure consciousness is sustained. Eventually, there will be only artificial neurons that can easily interface directly with computers and our original consciousness is preserved.
Joe Scott It's even worse than the teleportation problem because in teleportation it's assumed that destroying the original body is necessary, but as far as we know if you're just copying someone's consciousness into a robot destroying the original body becomes completely optional.
*YUP* Your brain is "you", and brains eventually decay and die. Immortality is physically impossible. Though, the 2nd law of thermodynamics (Entropy) told us this long ago. However, to what extent we can prolong life I am excited to see. Predictions put it between 200 and a thousand years at the longest.
Hey, nice video. Just one thing - robota is not necessairily forced labour, just work/labour in general. "Jdu do roboty" is used commonly and means "I am going to work"
I can see a time we may have a non-lethal war robots back up by lethal ones if needed but more about sub-duing the enemy than killing them. Something that is just too much risk to try to do with your peoples lives on the line.
I feel like it is important to note that Robots do in fact need protection from cosmic rays. Even here on Earth we will protect our safety critical electronics (like those in your car) from cosmic ray caused errors like bit flips. Of course with robots the protection is built-into the robot itself, whereas with humans, we need to either create an enclosure/environment or additional equipment to protect us.
On the idea of robot butlers in every home... i will be so jealous if my kids grow up and they get to sleep in while the robot watches kids, robot has dinner ready when they get home and does the dishes, laundry, picking up toys etc. Even plays with and helps other kids while the parent is helping another kid. That would be helpful with multiples
Actually in Ohio there have been many jobs created by robots in factorys because it is now more profitable to open up more warehouses kind of like what happened with bank tellers
Robots- as shocking as it may seem - are not entirely synthetic. They all consist of something that is extremely natural; totally different than any kind of machinery, and that thing is the electron. And since we also sync with electrons, even though we include a chemical Cascade along with the neural pathways of electrons, whether it's animal, vegetable, or mineral, or man-made, the electron is the intelligence ...
This reminds me of a running joke at work. Our time clock machine thanks you when you successfully clock in or out and some people like to reply to it with a "you're welcome". The joke is that they're sucking up to our future robot overlords and will be kept around to be used however the robot overlords wish. Meanwhile, those who don't say "you're welcome" will be killed immediately because they can't be easily controlled. We each have our own opinions on which is the better option, and frequently tease each other about it.
My husband's company just bought a Pepper robot. They're going to start developing software for it soon. As the dev manager, he will be in charge of letting that creepy thing loose on society. He is excited. I am ...not so much. The goal of this pilot program is really noble, and I think the use case warrants some innovation, but that thing still looks too much like the terminator for my liking!
At the beggining of the Video Joe Scott says robots fit into 2 categories; 1) Killing machines and 2) Lovable companions. There is a 3rd. 3)Those robots that brutally kill you while laughing and professing their undying love for you,
The biggest thing with robots is when robotics are integrated into what will become a complete economic/metabolic system. It will be an integrated system of fully automated manufacturing, energy production, equipment deployment, equipment maintenance, equipment decommission, and equipment recycling. It will also include fully automated purchasing and sales of products both internally/independently and globally. Failed elements will be recognized and procedures for replacement/repair will be called upon as needed making self healing systems, just what the doctor ordered for both hostile environments in space and comfortable places here on Earth. The work for humans will be creating all the designs and procedures for the system to follow. We will be the core control components of a vast industrial complex, like the DNA protected in the nucleus of a cell, providing direction for all its machinery. What's cool is such a system doesn't need that high of a level of AI to work. Some might say it is best if it doesn't have much and just follows procedure and contacts humans to provide a new procedure when it doesn't know what to do.
hey Joe i really think you might like the book " The Future of Humanity" by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. He talks about what the next 100 years may look like after interviewing some of the wolds leading engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists and so on.
One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them; the robots will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new robot overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground microchip caves.
The ones I'm worried about are the robots that are both lovable companions and killing machines. I always get disappointed at maker shows when a booth touts their "robots" and it turns out they're just a big remote-controlled toy, basically. I've seen plenty of Great Wall cars in Colombia... they look very well built but they don't have the greatest reputation down there. My family encountered a Pepper robot at a restaurant in the O'Hare airport recently. It was supposed to be filling the role of host. My kids thought it was cute, I was kind of underwhelmed. It was like Alexa with a humanoid body. It DID dance with my kids, but the robot's handler had to set something on the screen for it to do that, hardly antonymous.
Ever since I was a little kid (born in 1987) I was obsessed with robots...they were popular in movies around that time so I’m guessing that’s why I liked them. I even had a hard plastic Alphie counting robot when I was a kid and I slept with it like a teddy bear haha Now I’m 34 and have a cool robot figurine collection (and a couple robot clocks) 🤖 one day I hope to get a robot tattoo 🥰 Anyone else love robots as much as I do? Mainly the cool vintage looking ones 🙌🏻
Neato robotic vacuums have always used lasers to map their cleaning paths, and only now are other makers realizing that's the best approach instead of randomly bumping around and missing huge sections in the process. They even have robotic lawn mowers now (husqvarna i think), but apparently they don't have any sort of vision; only bumpers... and if cleaning dog stuff out of a robot vac is no fun (damn puppy), i don't even want to think about cleaning it from a mower!
Robots still need radiation protection. Cosmic rays like you mentioned can flip bits in their processors or memory. A space robotic mission without numerous redundant copies of its operating instructions and constant error checking and radiation shielding to reduce the occurrence of such errors could "die" from radiation in space faster than a human would. The missions to Jupiter and Saturn have lots of radiation shielding and are planned to be de-orbited before the radiation kills them... Because the radiation from the Van Allen belts at both planets that the probes fly through will eventually kill them.
it is interesting how you can dismiss the problem of worker replacement with the glib statement that they can be retrained to get other less boring, dangerous, labor intensive jobs. While this theory is not provable as "impossible" it certainly does not take into account what is more likely, nor does it take into account how well this idea has worked in practice where it has been tried. The worker replacement rate of "retrained" workers is extremely low. There are a number of reasons for this. 1) THE COST of re-educating workers is way more than most workers can afford. This is particularly true if they have already taken on debt to in order to establish themselves in a community. 2) the human dignity problem where people who have invested their lives in learning a skill suddenly find that their role in industry is deprecated and do not have the emotional, mental, or physical energy to heavily invest themselves in something unfamiliar. 3) the competition between younger workers who have the advantage of having grown up in the technology and who are wired differently than the older workers 4) The shortening of the re-education cycle. The problem with this is that technologies change so rapidly that the education cycle (as expensive as it is) cannot keep up with the rate tech is developed. Hence, there is no way to know if the education sector in which you enroll will actually guarantee a spot in the job market. 5) The entry barrier to education centers favors only the brightest and youngest. This is related to 3) competition between age groups. 6) People who have had traditional jobs in a particular industry also have planted themselves in a community. Retraining and re-tooling requires that people pick up stakes and move to a different city or location. this means they have to abandon their homes and communities and move to new ones. Most people cannot afford an unexpected expense of more than $400. 7) Foreign competition from countries that subsidise education in the tech industries can supply virtual labor, as well as physical labor.
The best path to embrace automation is with a Resource-Based Economy, where the buying and selling of abundant things is a thing of the past and jobs are for machines.
Hey Joe. Remember me? I was around when you were under 10k Subs. I was The guy who photo shopped your head bald and sent you the pic. XD Glad to see your channel is doing well. 212k Subs now huh?! Grats man!
I do remember you (but you used to have a different name didn't you? Ryder something? Am I nuts?) Thanks for sticking around so long, it's been a wild ride!
2 things I'm a transplant patient. I'm hoping that by the time my transplanted organs fail I will get 3d printed ones. The 3d kidneys are pretty simple but a artificial pancreas. Would be fairly complex and possibly an air thing so people machine integration is a thing I'm hoping for. The other thing. Mind uploading could help make some rather self centered sociopaths (sociopaths are good at making money) become immortal rulers. I had a wolf hybrid in high school. My science teacher who had done some field study of wolves said it was a bad idea to mix the two species because wolves are much more capable than dogs but have timid personalities that balance them as a creature. The same could be said for people and robots. Some people have no regard for others but are kept under control by mortality
Using robots to fight your wars could even ELIMINATE the need to kill the enemy. A robot could be better equipped to simply disable an enemy soldier without killing him. It doesn't need to kill him before he can kill you. Especially if robots become cheaper than training a soldier. Of course, that is not how a malevolent invader will use robots.
This was so fascinating! I didn't know the technology had progressed to this point. Those humanoid robots are so very creepy. That said, I love what can be done with them as far as medical/therapy uses. The more advances that will help people in this way, the better. As to AI, I don't know why people worry about that. Machines can't think. They can pretend they do, but it's not like person. It would be like being afraid of your computer. It only does what you tell it to do. (Well... for the most part!)

If you remove this, you end up in a situation where the human cost of a war appears to be zero for your own side, and somehow loss of life on the opposing side loses all value. If you want to kill someone you should be going there yourself and do it face to face. You should be willing to lose your life over it. If you are not, then the war is probably not justified.
Pretty sure they explored that (in a sense) in the first season of Star Trek "A Taste Of Armageddon". War got so automated between 2 planets that computers tallied casualty lists from virtual attacks, and then the people went into disintegration chambers, which pissed Kirk off so much that he got rid of the computers, breaking the "treaty" they had with their enemy such that they had to fight real battles with real people, scaring them into actually finding a way to end their 500 year war altogether.
Yeah I distinctly remember that episode, I guess it must have influenced my thinking here subconsciously lol. Bottomline is lives lost is the cost of war, and war shouldn't be free.
Uh we don't do that now. The leader say we are at war and the soldiers are sent to fight.
HMan Loss of human life has never stopped war before. It’s not a cost of war that needs to be budgeted, it’s just an unfortunate consequence. Soldiers are expendable pawns and have been for all of human history.
@@obo2881 Sure, but soldiers have family and loved ones that won't take kindly to them being pushed through a literal meat grinder over nothing. Who cares if you lose a few thousand robots, you can just make more. This gives you an avenue to justify the killing of the "enemy". People just like you at the mercy of their government's decisions.
Great video , great content, great delivery. How do you not have 1M subs yet?
“So Juno has to make decisions on the fly”... I saw what you did there!!!
Can you do a video on automatons? Possibly with a section in there about the antikythera mechanism?
Hi Joe - Have look at "von Neumann probe" theory.... interesting concept with regards to space exploration and robotics.
Also, I highly recommend reading "For we are Legion" by Dennis E Taylor
So, I have you set up with an alert... but I'm not getting notified of your videos or getting them recommended to me. Thought you'd want to know. Love your videos.
Another great video, Joe!
Great video. Was going to comment about the meaning of 'robota' but it seems this has been already addressed below😀
I'm a chef and that chef robot is a joke in my opinion. It can only make what its programmed to make or learns to make through watching videos but, I can come up with recipes off the top of my head. I know what flavors and seasonings taste great together but, a robotic chef has no taste buds. Even though human error would eventually catch up to me. I still think I could run circles around a robot in a kitchen and produce better tasting food at a faster pace then a robot that couldn't improvise at a moments notice long story short I'm pretty sure I could "John Henry" that Chefbot in any restaurant style kitchen. Also I think this is a great tv show idea the John Henry experiment- professionals in their fields vs the most advanced robotics in their fields.
We must make that happen.
So you are right for now and thats because robots are mostly mechanical. But when robots integrated with powerful AI like Watson start compiling and analyzing inputs from millions of chefs around the world, possibly in a matter of days, their knowledge will far outstrip that of any individual. They will be able to predict successful combinations of ingredients that we may never have anticipated. So they will be intelligent AND innovative. That point is when robots will take over human jobs.
Well to be fair I think the robot is meant for more domestic uses, not to be a world-class chef
And when a single master AI server in a tech company building can do the heavy lifting and distil insight from massive amounts of data, it can transmit only the insights and conclusions to millions of connected less powerful, more mechanical AI in restaurants, bars etc. So even one very powerful AI platform for the restaurant industry could change everything by offering in essence, AI as a Service. AaaS .
Kasperov thought the same thing in 1997 before he was trounced at chess by Deep Blue. Lee Sedol had humanity's confidence before being beat at Go 4 games to 1 in 2016 by AphaGo.
Every time someone says it can't come for them some room full of nerds thinks "oh yeah?".
What is taste? Chemical analysis really. This ingredient plus that ingredient with these proportions equals that flavour effect. Cooking? These tools, that temperature, this technique equals some result. Make-do with random ingredients in a kitchen? Easy inventory control coupled to a recipe database.
If a human pursuit can be approached with intuitions about reality then it is accessible to automated measuring and processing. So far there is nothing to suggest magic in anything we do. While we may not know precisely how to do a bunch of things it's just a matter of time for measuring instruments and mechanical processes to crack all the nuts we currently think are uncrackable.
Honestly I hope we choose to hang on to some pursuits as purely human. They will be the sole islands on which we plant humanity's value. Let's keep cooking as a solely human pursuit. Or composing and performing music. Just anything that we can tell ourselves we are special.
What?!? Not one mention of Fembots? Joe, I'm terribly disappointed
Wait for it...
Joe Scott . One step at a time joe. First an episode on fembots ... then a follow up show on tantric sex with fembots
Andrew Hart can’t wait!! Illegal in some States, for sure!

I used to write a significant number of essays about AI and robots. And I always came back to the concept of robot rights. If we make robots a race of slaves, don't you think that the Terminator scenario is inevitable? To me, to avoid the Terminator or the end of The Matrix, we have to consider and assure robot rights BEFORE true AI happens. And think about the analogy if we developed a biological slavery - that would be asking for trouble - so why don't we consider the same for robots?
Joe Scott is the man!
I do what I can. ;)
When you said "The Future of War is Robotic" it reminded of the Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon".
Their culture lived but the people died.
As an Industrial Automation and robotics technician (What a mouthfull, I know), I find it exceptional the Era we're living right now.
Joe's back! Finaly the good stuff! AI, robots, neurolinks...
"Finally?" What does that mean?!
I love the Bostom Dynamics Robots, they are creepy but fun to watch.
An unmentioned concern with military robots is the lower threshold for going to war: the lower the risk of loss of life is to "our" side in waging war, the more likely we are to go ahead and do it. Though this is also an issue generally with building up military capacity & capability (robotic or otherwise).
hey dude, great channel (yes, you can quote that if you ever read this out). I see you cover a lot of SpaceX but I don't see any videos on Skylon or the SABRE engine. Any updates. I much prefer such information in the format of one of your vids.
I built a “robot overlord” at my last work. Most of the people came to work, and spent all day doing what the computer told them to do. Even the other builders and myself spent the day doing tasks assigned to us by the system, that we wrote. Everyone was very happy, and joyfully obeyed. Most people will gladly obey the robotic overlords.
Jerry LaGrou . It started with the first clock that had everyone living and working in sync
Interesting experiment!
Fascinating topic enhanced by Joe’s comedic stylings!
Thank you!
Robota doesn't mean forced labor.
Just labor or a job in general.
TheAllegiantTraitor robota IS a forced labor. peasants or vassals where sent to a Lords’ property and only after that they could work on their own...very simplyfied but there you go. Edit: just the difference in czech words -> práce vs. robota
Wiktionary:
From Proto-Slavic *orbota (“hard work, slavery”) derived from *orbъ (“slave”)
Really?
I had no idea the word has so different meaning in Czech compared to Slovak.
Slovak robota means primarily HARD labor, but not necessarily forced.
Gero
Similar (or exactly same) words in Slavic languages can have totally different meanings.
It is still in use as a regional word for general work in the north as in: du do roboty. But historicaly it is just that
As usual this video kicks ass. :)
Have you done an episode on downloading your consciousness? From what I hear it's actually impossible and would result in nothing more than a copy of your current brain's thought process
Roy he did do one similar. I think it was in the immortality video.
Yeah, it's the teleportation problem. I've talked about that in a few videos, and it's a doozy.
I said posted this in another comment, but I will post is here as well....
There exist multiple theories on how this would happen. The simple "upload your consciousness" idea would indeed only make a copy of yourself, leaving the real "you" to die. However, there are some interesting theories on how we can completely leave our biological selves behind while saving our original consciousness.
Most of these theories involve adding artificial neurons to the brain over a long period of time to ensure consciousness is sustained. Eventually, there will be only artificial neurons that can easily interface directly with computers and our original consciousness is preserved.
Joe Scott It's even worse than the teleportation problem because in teleportation it's assumed that destroying the original body is necessary, but as far as we know if you're just copying someone's consciousness into a robot destroying the original body becomes completely optional.
*YUP*
Your brain is "you", and brains eventually decay and die. Immortality is physically impossible. Though, the 2nd law of thermodynamics (Entropy) told us this long ago. However, to what extent we can prolong life I am excited to see. Predictions put it between 200 and a thousand years at the longest.
Hey, nice video. Just one thing - robota is not necessairily forced labour, just work/labour in general. "Jdu do roboty" is used commonly and means "I am going to work"
I can see a time we may have a non-lethal war robots back up by lethal ones if needed but more about sub-duing the enemy than killing them. Something that is just too much risk to try to do with your peoples lives on the line.
I feel like it is important to note that Robots do in fact need protection from cosmic rays. Even here on Earth we will protect our safety critical electronics (like those in your car) from cosmic ray caused errors like bit flips. Of course with robots the protection is built-into the robot itself, whereas with humans, we need to either create an enclosure/environment or additional equipment to protect us.
On the idea of robot butlers in every home... i will be so jealous if my kids grow up and they get to sleep in while the robot watches kids, robot has dinner ready when they get home and does the dishes, laundry, picking up toys etc. Even plays with and helps other kids while the parent is helping another kid. That would be helpful with multiples
I love the Boston Dynamics and I am studying Machine Learning, the only thing to be concerned about is end users
Just catching up with your videos, loved the future Joe note 😂
Killer video as always
Joe, I am a new subscriber since 6/19. Can you please do a video on Quantum AI?
Keep it up Joe.
Oh Yes Skynet the Terminators ,Bring them on ? I want to kick some Bot Butt LOL
Actually in Ohio there have been many jobs created by robots in factorys because it is now more profitable to open up more warehouses kind of like what happened with bank tellers
Could you do video on Uranus and its weird rotational axis please?

The Lost In Space robot!!! As the Simpsons Comic Book Guy might say: Best.....open.....ever!
Robots- as shocking as it may seem - are not entirely synthetic. They all consist of something that is extremely natural; totally different than any kind of machinery, and that thing is the electron. And since we also sync with electrons, even though we include a chemical Cascade along with the neural pathways of electrons, whether it's animal, vegetable, or mineral, or man-made, the electron is the intelligence ...
This reminds me of a running joke at work. Our time clock machine thanks you when you successfully clock in or out and some people like to reply to it with a "you're welcome". The joke is that they're sucking up to our future robot overlords and will be kept around to be used however the robot overlords wish. Meanwhile, those who don't say "you're welcome" will be killed immediately because they can't be easily controlled. We each have our own opinions on which is the better option, and frequently tease each other about it.
‘Kitty Uber’…I see what you did there!
My husband's company just bought a Pepper robot. They're going to start developing software for it soon. As the dev manager, he will be in charge of letting that creepy thing loose on society. He is excited. I am ...not so much. The goal of this pilot program is really noble, and I think the use case warrants some innovation, but that thing still looks too much like the terminator for my liking!
At the beggining of the Video Joe Scott says robots fit into 2 categories; 1) Killing machines and 2) Lovable companions. There is a 3rd. 3)Those robots that brutally kill you while laughing and professing their undying love for you,
The biggest thing with robots is when robotics are integrated into what will become a complete economic/metabolic system. It will be an integrated system of fully automated manufacturing, energy production, equipment deployment, equipment maintenance, equipment decommission, and equipment recycling. It will also include fully automated purchasing and sales of products both internally/independently and globally. Failed elements will be recognized and procedures for replacement/repair will be called upon as needed making self healing systems, just what the doctor ordered for both hostile environments in space and comfortable places here on Earth. The work for humans will be creating all the designs and procedures for the system to follow. We will be the core control components of a vast industrial complex, like the DNA protected in the nucleus of a cell, providing direction for all its machinery. What's cool is such a system doesn't need that high of a level of AI to work. Some might say it is best if it doesn't have much and just follows procedure and contacts humans to provide a new procedure when it doesn't know what to do.
hey Joe i really think you might like the book " The Future of Humanity" by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. He talks about what the next 100 years may look like after interviewing some of the wolds leading engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists and so on.
Yeah, I need to read that one.
"All of this has happened before, and it will happen again." So... "What do you hear?"
"Said the Joker to the Thief...."
Talking about Asimo and not ONE South Park joke? Its RIGHT there!!
One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them; the robots will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new robot overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground microchip caves.
I can’t believe you found a sound byte of a barbershop quartet singing, “dystopia!”
The ones I'm worried about are the robots that are both lovable companions and killing machines.
I always get disappointed at maker shows when a booth touts their "robots" and it turns out they're just a big remote-controlled toy, basically.
I've seen plenty of Great Wall cars in Colombia... they look very well built but they don't have the greatest reputation down there.
My family encountered a Pepper robot at a restaurant in the O'Hare airport recently. It was supposed to be filling the role of host. My kids thought it was cute, I was kind of underwhelmed. It was like Alexa with a humanoid body. It DID dance with my kids, but the robot's handler had to set something on the screen for it to do that, hardly antonymous.
Please do a video on bell's theorem...🙏
I'll allow it.
Joe Scott where’s the video bruh?
Ever since I was a little kid (born in 1987) I was obsessed with robots...they were popular in movies around that time so I’m guessing that’s why I liked them. I even had a hard plastic Alphie counting robot when I was a kid and I slept with it like a teddy bear haha
Now I’m 34 and have a cool robot figurine collection (and a couple robot clocks) 🤖 one day I hope to get a robot tattoo 🥰
Anyone else love robots as much as I do? Mainly the cool vintage looking ones 🙌🏻
Neato robotic vacuums have always used lasers to map their cleaning paths, and only now are other makers realizing that's the best approach instead of randomly bumping around and missing huge sections in the process. They even have robotic lawn mowers now (husqvarna i think), but apparently they don't have any sort of vision; only bumpers... and if cleaning dog stuff out of a robot vac is no fun (damn puppy), i don't even want to think about cleaning it from a mower!
May I ask, what are these boxes stacked up to the ceiling in your office ?
You forget to mention FEDOR. Failed in space station but still very versatile
Putting our conscious in a robot sounds like some ghost in the shell stuff.
Great video
That DARPA 'bot. Nightmare fuel.
Fascinating and freaky at the same time.
Robots still need radiation protection. Cosmic rays like you mentioned can flip bits in their processors or memory. A space robotic mission without numerous redundant copies of its operating instructions and constant error checking and radiation shielding to reduce the occurrence of such errors could "die" from radiation in space faster than a human would. The missions to Jupiter and Saturn have lots of radiation shielding and are planned to be de-orbited before the radiation kills them... Because the radiation from the Van Allen belts at both planets that the probes fly through will eventually kill them.
"Amazed or terrified or both."
I vote both.
...if only I could warn you about what the next 5 years holds for you...
it is interesting how you can dismiss the problem of worker replacement with the glib statement that they can be retrained to get other less boring, dangerous, labor intensive jobs. While this theory is not provable as "impossible" it certainly does not take into account what is more likely, nor does it take into account how well this idea has worked in practice where it has been tried. The worker replacement rate of "retrained" workers is extremely low.
There are a number of reasons for this.
1) THE COST of re-educating workers is way more than most workers can afford. This is particularly true if they have already taken on debt to in order to establish themselves in a community.
2) the human dignity problem where people who have invested their lives in learning a skill suddenly find that their role in industry is deprecated and do not have the emotional, mental, or physical energy to heavily invest themselves in something unfamiliar.
3) the competition between younger workers who have the advantage of having grown up in the technology and who are wired differently than the older workers
4) The shortening of the re-education cycle. The problem with this is that technologies change so rapidly that the education cycle (as expensive as it is) cannot keep up with the rate tech is developed. Hence, there is no way to know if the education sector in which you enroll will actually guarantee a spot in the job market.
5) The entry barrier to education centers favors only the brightest and youngest. This is related to 3) competition between age groups.
6) People who have had traditional jobs in a particular industry also have planted themselves in a community. Retraining and re-tooling requires that people pick up stakes and move to a different city or location.
this means they have to abandon their homes and communities and move to new ones. Most people cannot afford an unexpected expense of more than $400.
7) Foreign competition from countries that subsidise education in the tech industries can supply virtual labor, as well as physical labor.

Five dollars says robots and humans will interact with one another like in Futurama.
Im betting my $ with you. People don't realize they're gonna just be us but different.
The best path to embrace automation is with a Resource-Based Economy, where the buying and selling of abundant things is a thing of the past and jobs are for machines.

Hey Joe. Remember me? I was around when you were under 10k Subs.
I was The guy who photo shopped your head bald and sent you the pic. XD
Glad to see your channel is doing well. 212k Subs now huh?! Grats man!

2 things I'm a transplant patient. I'm hoping that by the time my transplanted organs fail I will get 3d printed ones. The 3d kidneys are pretty simple but a artificial pancreas. Would be fairly complex and possibly an air thing so people machine integration is a thing I'm hoping for. The other thing. Mind uploading could help make some rather self centered sociopaths (sociopaths are good at making money) become immortal rulers. I had a wolf hybrid in high school. My science teacher who had done some field study of wolves said it was a bad idea to mix the two species because wolves are much more capable than dogs but have timid personalities that balance them as a creature. The same could be said for people and robots. Some people have no regard for others but are kept under control by mortality
Using robots to fight your wars could even ELIMINATE the need to kill the enemy. A robot could be better equipped to simply disable an enemy soldier without killing him. It doesn't need to kill him before he can kill you. Especially if robots become cheaper than training a soldier.
Of course, that is not how a malevolent invader will use robots.
This was so fascinating! I didn't know the technology had progressed to this point. Those humanoid robots are so very creepy.
That said, I love what can be done with them as far as medical/therapy uses. The more advances that will help people in this way, the better.
As to AI, I don't know why people worry about that. Machines can't think. They can pretend they do, but it's not like person. It would be like being afraid of your computer. It only does what you tell it to do. (Well... for the most part!)
