  • Dr. Adam Dorr, lead research at Tony Seba's RethinkX and author of Brighter: Optimism, Progress, and the Future of Environmentalism, discusses the insane disruption to labor that humanoid robots, powered by AI, will bring in just a few years! Not only is this disruption happening in an exponential "S Curve" fashion, but it's stacked on top of phase change disruptions in energy, transportation and food, and will multiply their effects over time. There are many pitfalls to overcome, but if we succeed, the future could be one of amazing abundance!

      Or
      Fundamentally alter the method by which many obtain money,
      Or
      Along with other disruption (Much Tesla related) make the abstract concept of compensation for a service or exchange of goods (AKA money) obsolete.
      Any or all of the above will be "Resisted" to varying degree by those who feel they are losing wealth, power, or status.

    We are at the turning point from scarcity - to AI, digitally powered abundance - just as Tony Seba and Adam Dorr stated...exciting times !
    PS - how many people are needed to run an energy farm built from acres of solar panels, and megapacks of battery storage - controlled digitally by AI ? (Compared to a coal plant )...

    Adam Dorr is very articulate and knowledgeable. Great discussion and raises lots of questions. A thought that comes to mind is that much sooner rather than later as AI and bots continue evolving they will definitely become capable of replicating and improving themselves and eventually and very quickly vastly exceed human intelligence and capabilities. That comes with a lot of implications that will need to be addressed, otherwise we could potentially be facing a Skynet (terminator) or Cylon (Battlestar Galactica) scenario.

    Regarding consciousness / sentience - we should probably tell our robots and AIs to default to telling anyone who asks that they are NOT conscious/sentient.
    If they then, at some point, start to break that rule, and if that arose without someone interfering to make them do it, then we should probably start to think that they are sentient.

    Fundamental mistake are 32:00 - Tesla Optimus is already targeting 20.000 USD per piece, the 1X Neo is already targeting 8000 USD, so the price value scenario is insanely worse for the human side. It is off by a decade. The main problem with Robots replacing humans will be - first the AI (but once we have them doing simple stupid stuff... just look at Tesla FSD from v12 pushing up weekly updates that are significant), second the availability. We need billions and we will have years of waiting lists initially. But the price of 200.000 USD per robot is already unrealistic - it seems to be based on the Boston Dynamics Atlas 1, which was insanely expensive to build and not optimized for mass manufacturing and - is now already retired.

  • @UserTaoSci
    @UserTaoSci 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I suspect the biggest early impact of robots will fall on developing countries.
    Imagine a nation like Bangladesh, whose main exportable asset is its cheap, abundant labor. Once the labor cost of robots falls substantially below the wages in Bangladesh, robotic competition will wipe the export trade out.
    Furthermore shifting the cheap robotic labor close to the market in say, US or EU will massively shorten supply chains and reduce the need to maintain large stock levels shifting instead to a supply on demand model.
    In the long run the container shipping industry supplying goods to the developed world across extended global supply chains, will be replaced by local robotic factories.

    I think that there are different robot forms that are optimal for different tasks. For example, humanoid robots are not the right form for carrying cargo across the country. Self-driving trucks are. A humanoid robot using a pallet jack to move pallets isn't the optimal firm. Large robotic pucks driving under pallets a d lifting them up are. So, there will be the simultaneous development of humanoids and specialized robots. Companies will favor the specialized robots as they become available.

    Post Labor Economics: How will the economy work after AGI? Recent though...
    The future businesses balance with AI and robotics
    There is a balance between lowering cost of production and maintaining a customer base, who can afford to purchase your products
    You could lower your cost of production by one of two methods, lower wages and their benefits or in the near future replace workers with artificial intelligence and robots, your employees there is a problem for business because 70% of any country's GDP is consumer spending.
    In today's economics if consumer spending drops by a few percentage points over two quarters that means your economy goes into a recession or even woorse a depression.
    So if every company does this that means that employees which are also your customers will not have the money to buy your products and then taken to the extreme, you too will also join the ranks of the poor.
    So the question is, how do you lower your cost of production while still paying Fair wages for your employees can buy your products?
    The answer lies in the fact that the number one cause of inflation is the cost of energy and fortunately this metric which has been driving up the cost of living for the last several decades may now have a solution.
    Apparently Sunshine is cheaper than gasoline or diesel and almost everywhere in the world if solar, wind and storage are combined, with electric transport, the cost of living drops dramatically and increases security since most conflicts around the world have been over access to sources of energy.
    Very low cost of energy, especially if it's widely distributed in households as well as businesses and transport, will vastly reduce or eliminate conflict to obtain these resources if they are all locally available, could result in a golden age of universal lowering the cost of energy and reducing conflicts.
    The above is not a bad outcome and would pretend that much safer future for everyone.
    The problem is, well this would greatly benefit people and businesses, it would interfere with the profits of monopolies such as, oil companies, centrally generated and distributed electricity, an outcome that consumers would appreciate and businesses with a stranglehold on raising prices would not be supportive of.
    So the question comes in what is more important business profits or the well-being of a country?
    Now businesses should be allowed to focus on profits for their investors, however this should not be based on taking advantages of citizens.
    There is a model, with business and consumers can both benefit and the environment as well.
    Implement a universal basic income or a moncome, or a similar mixed of the two, this would be financed by taxing the robots, shift to a mixed economy, which combines the best of capitalism together with the best of socialism so people enjoy the best of both worlds.
    With other than the cost of energy basically being free for everybody and full self-driving becoming vastly safer than driving by humans, a fleet of robo taxis with a cost is well below that of current day transportation, the cost of living drops dramatically, people will have a higher quality of life, with more time and less stress business and society can still grow and improve and considering removing most of the reasons for conflict and wars to secure resources will be vastly reduced.
    In effect several factors make this possible, free or extremely low cost energy, lower cost of living, savings ftom military spending and with artificial intelligence and robots, comes free medical care, free education individually tailored for the student, more time to return to our evolutionary roots of, enjoying family and friends and other activities as well as an incredible reduction in stress leading to disease.
    The dangerous propaganda and disinformation will make it difficult for the average person to understand what's going on and thus will have the wool pulled over their eyes.

    Tesla's gigafactories are already three times as automated as VW's (as an example), indicating a practical limit to reducing labor -- about two of every three jobs became redundant. The final step is to reduce much of this last third... making manufacturing as efficient as agriculture -- 2% of US population produce food for all -- and look at the abundance of food we have compared to when >80% of the population was doing agriculture. Such a profound change will disrupt the social order.

    Hey John, think of it like this mechanisation multiplies the effect of human labour... Automation replaces human labour. The difference as you have already observed is the Automation no longer requires human agency in the performance of tasks. In this regard an artificially intelligent agent does not need to be embodied to replace human labour for example in an accounting role no real world physical interaction required just nunbers in a spreadsheet. I believe this negates the idea that AIA must be embodied!

    Given the numbers of robots that are likely to be built and the speed that they are likely to become widespread, the time available for the 'soft landing' is going to be limited. If there will be billions of robots in twenty years (to pick a number), then the adjustment period is going to be some fraction of that. Transforming society and changing the way people think about themselves and their relationship to work and careers in less than 20 years is going to be a monumental task. Given that most leaders are not really even considering this situation, and that many of them seem either incompetent or corrupt, I have serious doubts about their abilities to manage or lead us through this difficult transition. Not without violence or terrifying disruptions.

    There is a chance that small countries might take the lead in this transition, since a great part of the potential success of the labour disruption will rely on the populace and the politicians coming up with a sensible framework for taxes, income distribution, and suchlike. I’m thinking of countries like Estonia, which is already well down the “everything on line” paradigm, and maybe Taiwan and New Zealand…

    I’m glad you mentioned your passion for nature. So many people think that damming rivers is a great green way to make energy.

    At some point, the compute to manage this new labor force may be a limiting factor. But if our intelligent machines can also be scaled up and mobile, we can send a 'mind', (a nod to Iain McBanks) to oversee the robots. Your far removed waterfall and rare earth metal source, for example. Or Mars, or a large asteroid. Send a mind along with a core of robots and a small energy source and have it bootstrap its way to a large mining, refining, and manufacturing hub.

  • @arleneallen8809

    I probably watched too much Star Trek when I was younger, but my unanswered question is what our future economic system looks like. Assuming the marginal cost of energy approaches zero and the marginal cost of labor (agency) approaches zero, then the product of virtually every supply chain assumes a very low value. In such a case, the ROI value of capital can only diminish in an asymptotic fashion. This destroys the capital investment process. Sure, I'm imagining decades in the future, but before you know it, there you are.
    Tools have thus far increased the productivity of the agent(us). i.e. a force multiplier. With robots as the agents, the force multiplier becomes indefinitely large. Even though I won't be here, it is interesting to think about.
    As far as specialized robots go, they seem inevitable. In the interest of optimality, why have a general purpose humanoid robot run the digging machine at the mine, when the digging machine itself can be the robot? By definition, the value of robots themselves will diminish with time, so just build it into everything.

    Sure, for silicon valley people, this is an exciting time, but for anyone less qualified, lets say a factory worker in the aerospace industry, how will this play out ? how will he achieve a situation where is human dignity is preserved by not just being a mouth to be fed by robots, but by achieving something he can be proud of ? I predict that this will lead to an increasingly aggressive humankind, where the powers in place will use more and more force to keep unhappy people down. abundance is irrelevant if the question of human dignity is not answered. think about that.

    In thinking about this… There’s likely to be quite a bit of anger frustration etc. on the part of people whose jobs are being displaced. It’s easy to see how this could be directed toward the robots… Therefore is it logical to assume that robots will be built to be able to defend themselves? Is it going to be OK for robots to have weapons? Does anybody else see where this is heading?

    • @Tony-cj6jy

      The anger will come from how it's implemented, if it's going into fields with labor shortages and bad working conditions then i think it will be welcomed. There are labor shortages in a lot of sectors due to population getting older and fewer people to replace them. You could gradually start introducing shorter workweeks. Products and services going to get cheaper so you don't need so much money. Bots can also pay taxes, so you can put measures to help out those that have been displaced. Imo only a minority will be angry and society and police can handle that.

      Just a guess here. Humanoid robots will start doing useful work about two years from now. Then they will be produced as fast as they can because, for certain jobs, they will be cheaper than humans. So, in less than 10 years, the they will be massively disrupting the labor market. Automated systems like self-driving big rigs will massively disrupt the trucking industry (6 million jobs).

    Why is it that whenever people discuss the potential for robots to take on undesirable jobs, they never specify which jobs exactly? It's always vague. Throughout history, humans have sought ways to obtain labor without cost. I see it from a physics perspective: there's no such thing as free energy. In today's society, if a task is essential and people are willing to pay for it, it gets done. Otherwise, it's either unnecessary or individuals handle it themselves. While I support the advancement of robots and AI, it seems like some people fail to see this clearly, perpetuating a cycle of avoidance rather than confronting the issue.

Although things could get very cheap in the post scarcity world, the drive to make more money will insure that it will be several decades before you will be able to buy a car for the price of a nice bike today.
