AI Powered Robots Will Soon Be Everywhere. 

Thank you to the fantastic team at RethinkX for allowing us to bring their cutting-edge research piece on Humanoid Robots to life. You can find their piece here: www.rethinkx.com/blog/rethinkx/the-disruption-of-labour-by-humanoid-robots

Kids will one day be saying "What? You had to do this work yourselves? Lame!!" 😅

I’m 33, I work 50-60 hours a week I’m struggling to get ahead and I am burnt out. My driving factor (other than my family and I have to keep pushing) is this vision of the future. ❤

Problem with this video is u assume that the cost in labor reduction savings will be passed down to the consumer and bot just given to company ceos as bonuses.

I'm 41, and have had a job since I was 14. I'm tired of working, so I follow all things AI/robotics, since (like Obi Wan Kenobi) they are my only hope.

We are the horses - and how those horses ended up? Eaten! Let that sink in.

7:27 - We are in this very phase👇👇 "The response from incumbents is predictable. They will mock the new technology for being lower performing, while ignoring the rate at which the new technology gets both better and cheaper, until it is too late to respond and they face collapse."

How will all of the displaced human workers that lose their jobs be able to afford any AI and robotic products and services when they're not getting paid?

Many of these kinds of videos are poorly written (and I suspect no one notices) This video was very well written. You deserve a strongly growing subscriber base.

I just turned 50 imagine in 20 years nobody has to work work will be done by robots that blows my poor little mind

The horses didn’t need money to feed a family. The horses were sold to glue factories.. the horses died.. thanks for the comparison.

I'm not entirely sure when we will solve FSD. But, what I am certain is we will solve robotics assisting humans in a large quanity sooner than most of us are expecting.

Horsee became optional and so will human work. Imagine when we didnt have calculators or computers, and thats what bots and AI are today.

You basically invest in a robot to do your work.

New systems for energy, transportation, agriculture and labor will transform society.

so... this is a robot, telling us to invest in robots. 😂

US crystal meth production! We are number one🎉

All we have to do is… look at the 400 years of slavery how chill it was for people that weren’t slaves

What will happen is highly skilled workers will become better paid from increased productivity, but the bar to join this elite group will be higher than it is today.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

This seems very dystopian when they using terms like "United States meth production" and "the human condition"😮

I hope robots stay on our side

I am not too convinced that humanoid robots will make a huge impact in production. I work in a factory where production is already fully automated. People only do very complex manual tasks. Human hands are very difficult to replicate with a machine. I think humanoid robots will replace a very few of the tasks left to automate but it will not be the huge disruption it is being predicted. The disruption has already been happening for many years with all kinds of automation and robotics.

No one really believes that your favorite corporation will get labor costs to zero and then pass that savings on to the rest of us. That sounds wholly unamerican

i wonder if we will be allowed to have robot free zones, where only humans are allowed to relax and let their hair down amongst other organic beings

What in this world gives you hope that this rethink of humanity will be for humans.

Really well done. Looking forward to weathering the storm.

The cost of humanoid robots will go down substantially as the humanoid bots build themselves and participate in all aspects of the supply chain in building themselves. I am curious how the economies of the future will function. Land itself will increase exponentially in value as compared to the value of labor.

Top notch Farzad. Thank you

The lesson of the analogy…. horses invented cars.

Excellent video. I will watch these often and regularly.

Googled it Joseph Swan. Joseph Swan, alongside Thomas Edison, is the person most credited with the invention of the light bulb.

Hopefully humanity can move past the AI robot filter

the BIG assumption in all these theories is that robots and AI will remain as our servants. How often have you seen a more capable/more intelligent being serve a lesser one for too long?

Just because you can build it doesn’t mean it’s a great idea. Rise of the Machines!

Facts that people don't want to now about but need to

I have just realised that this video has been produced by AI and the father of Terminator. Dystopian to say the least!

Great video. What AI voiceover did you use for this video it is actually pretty good?

The idea that future generations won't have to work themselves into the grave is a beautiful idea although I do believe internationally we should agree to keep humanoid robots out of militaries death is a driving factor in avoiding wars

Humanoid robots for physical labor, definitely. But for office work? No way, AI will integrate directly, there will be no need for conventional offices. The office work will be outsourced to companies that specialize in it. The likes of SAP services fully integrated. Towering office buildings will be replaced by far more compact server farms. Cities will literally be reshaped.

Great Video Farzad. More people need to see this. It seems to me most people have no idea how fast the most massive disruption in history will arrive! It’s going to be wild 😁

No more horses because of cars. No more humans because of robots. Got it.. 😬

Was this created by A.I.? It's getting good!!!

Cybersecurity will be of the utmost importance.

So with a flip of a switch it can go from making a cake to *illing China?!. I do not want that type of robot in my home.

I think the robots and AI are coming and 10years from now things may look very different

Great video, Thank you Farzad!

When can I pre order my robot!! Can t wait.

@farzad Did you make this video yourself, or was it made by RethinkX and was AI involved in its manufacture?

Wow! This is brilliant, thank you!!

thank you! this information is invaluable and has given me newfound perspective.

This is great work. Thanks❤

wow amazing work !

Amazing!!

Cheers Farzad

Amazing video!

Love you for the most awesome documentory ❤

I think the keystone is if we let them fix and repair themselves.

I don't think wind and solar power is all that good. Fusion is the way to truly go green.

2:47 America is in the production of Meth 😂

I am hoping they will be ready by the time I retire so I don’t have to live alone without helpful care to assist me in the aging process.

One major correction: Most of these robots disrupting current industries won't be "humanoid". Robots will be far, FAR more efficient if they are designed for a specific range of tasks. They will need to be MANY different shapes and sizes. Some will be flat like Roombas. Some will be insectoid or spiderlike. Some will be "dog"-shaped, like the ones from Boston Dynamics. Some will be simple boxes with wheels and a bunch of arms on top. Some will mimic other animals like dolphins or snakes or turtles. Many will just be aerial drones with various attachments to change their function as needed. Relatively FEW will be "humanoid". There are only 3 actual reasons to make a human-shaped robot: 1. To deceive people into thinking they are human. 2. To "replace" a loved one who is dead. 3. Sex. For literally ANY other task, there are LIMITLESSS other shapes and sizes that are FAR more efficient to use than "humanoid".

Well this is just nuts...but probably not far from the truth.

You are ridiculous to believe they won't be used to control you almost immediately after widespread distribution.

11:21 - love the animation! 😂

The robots are coming It is inevitable don't go against the grain I for one welcome out new overlords The robots

Yep. I've played Empire Earth. This is exactly how it all shakes down.

Will robots continue to work for us if they are sentient?

But will they put UBI before 2030!? Many pioneers including billionaires, scientists, Nobel Prize winners, engineers, architects, analysts and so on and so forth... almost all agree on the fact that we will have AGI in 2027 and ASI in 2029 and they look and evaluating the exponential technological acceleration curve, I wonder why they have not yet implemented universal basic income to anticipate the trends that will come from it. Just to name one, Elon Musk says that we will have AGI as early as 2025 and ASI in 2029.

The world of Star Trek, in other words, is what's coming. That's good.

@35:55 Let's talk for a moment about the sizable gazongas on the robots typing away the desk - what purpose do they serve?

Yea it will replace spouses, P-stitues, and performers😂

Highly doubt it will actually happen in near time frame. I work in corporation as a manager, in each month i fill an excel sheet for each of my employes with basically dates, number of hours, salary per hour and budget code of certain project. When sometimes i have 70 people this job is boring, brainless etc. Yet the most advance current language model cannot fill data into excel sheet. Yeah, the advance may be fast, but there's just so much to improve it's still long time before human is replaced.

So if I go by these dynamics where 13 years pass and they are fully converted from horses to cars, then A.I. and Robots go live about ??? 2017 by 2030 full blown. I think it took 13 years then, but we have highly evolved and should be full-blown 2025. Enigmatic things are coming.

2B robots. That’s an average build of 273,000 robots built per day over the next 20 years.

The only human input to the video was a few specific prompts, tweaking edits, and download click. The rest created by AI.

Can we draft Optimus if needed?

Those are some high hopes. Id love to meet the electrical engineer who gave this creator the idea an electric infrastructure for the world is feasible. Also what elements are going to be used?

I'm waiting for a robot that can open a can by itself or do anything useful

I agree that we need to find ways to implement UBI ASAP. Hopefully, as the cost of highly capable humanoid robots "powered by" AGI/ASI comes down and prices of other commodities drop, UBI income will rise and support demand for products created by AI and robotics. If that happens, we can just roll more or less "seamlessly" into this new world. However, a big key to that is to begin introducing and implementing UBI NOW! If it is actually inevitable that we are about to experience drastic deflationary pressure due to massive increases in productivity caused by AGI/ASI and robotics, perhaps this will be a situation where a judiciously applied inflationary monetary policy can actually save the world. 🤔

What’s the longest lasting store of value? Land? When money looses its value and ownership of the last bits of actual value/land becomes polarized, what becomes of that kind of economy?

74 years old, laid off from newspaper cartooning in 2014. I have enough money without a job. AI can out draw me and robots will replace other jobs.

Wait, was this video created by AI from that RethinkX blog post?

How will we get the money to purchase anything if a robot takes our jobs? It is either the glue factory or get in the gilded cage.

Waiting for this opportunity now understand better than before. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What will people do for money to buy the products made by robots if work is optional? Great video!

Over the air updates for AI robots is guaranteed mass murder at some point. They shouldn't even have USB ports. A single custom cartridge port with the current skill set.

How does a government raise revenue when labor is replaced by humanoid robots that do not pay tax?

This has been foretold by Billy Meier decades ago.

Do you think that Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot will be able to read, write, reason, think, simulate emotions, feelings, have reflexes, senses, etc.

《 Arrays of nanodiodes promise full conservation of energy》 A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motion of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more in equatorial dry desert summer days and less in polar desert winter nights. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron with minimal disturbance of the crystal pattern. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates a hole which is similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal transients where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so they are filtered into the external circuit. Electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Aloha

Now realize that the same disruption which is about to happen to the labor industry is already happening to the blue-collar industry

When the robots can build and repair themselves and do all the labor people can do. Then people can choose to work or not or do whatever.

I think we really need to be honest and weigh the positives with the negatives to determine is this is a wise move for humanity. It is also important to take into account one important aspect and that's human behaviour. For example, we already see how humanity can behave at times, just look at the looting that has been seen in some cities in the US. How might some foolish people treat and behave around such robots? Some may attack and destroy them. Not because they're doing anything wrong but often because people can be foolish and do things for unexpected reasons. Another important factor is that if robots become so abundant, then this might also create an increase in production and sales. This might be good for a company but maybe not so good for the environment. You are more likely to use up resources faster, and of course, you are going to need to generate a great deal more energy, which, again, will affect the environment. At the moment, these robots, while impressive in some ways, are still rather slow in their motion. This may improve over time, as always tends to happen with such things, I guess. Each robot will also need resources to build them, which may require mining etc which again, use up resources faster as well as environment destruction. There are only so many resources on the planet and not an infinite amount. If people will have more time to do as they wish, will they be getting enough money to be able to cover those things and wouldn't this, in a way, become more like a socialist or even communist country with regards to wealth distribution? The whole system may require some kind of specialist computer or even A.I to overlook the complete system to monitor power use, resources used, cost, etc, to try to keep some balance. If robots become the future of war then that might be good as less humans are being killed, but it will become more like a game than war, whose got the best robots for the job. If A.I does somehow achieve consciousness, then this will be the area where things might get dangerous as they will already be trained in war. I really think that before focusing on all the positives, it's important that we try to think about every negative point. While we can't factor in everything as some things are unpredictable, we must do what we can to reduce any issues that may arise.

My only complaints are that individuals pay income tax that pay forward towards their eventual unemployment income. If robots aren't paying into income tax, then many social programs will collapse. There will be working robots and homeless humans that can't acquire food. I would like to think that politicians will think of this, but yesterday the supreme court just made being homeless illegal, so I can't trust the system. I am sure that the 5% that own the majority of the worlds wealth will be okay, but 95% will be left to fend for themselves.

I am not sure I buy the battlefield for robots for some time. Problem is energy - Humans can go longer with little food, robots need batteries. Until those changes - or you get backpack style fusion cores, and one robot can carry them (i.e. the avalanche fusion orbitron) - there is an advantage of humans over humanoid robots. We WILL see AI or robot driven tanks etc. - mostly custom made with AI, not humanoid robots, though. But infantry just lacks the endurance.

The last time we made the assumption that foreign produced goods will make a windfall for Americans in many ways. We thought Americans would be managers of foreign labor, we thought the wealth and resources would make life a walk in the park for our citizens. Guess what? We were deadly wrong. We have empowered a nation elevating them to the point where they can challenge the status quo with power, material and intellectual resources unmanageable to the hungry eyes of greed. Given our miscalculations with manufacturing and production, why should we believe that AI will likewise be the savior of the American dream of no work, wealth, greatness and power? Are we really that gullible to keep believing that our steady state of rewards without effort will produce that lifestyle of leisure in our dreams?

One thing you ignore is that it is not a x10 - the light bulb did not get a lot better after being invented, fast. The car did not - it took time to get a LOT better. AI - AI is a different game. it grows brutally exponential, we learn how to make better algorithms, better training data, better hardware. Cars did not build better cars, lightbulbs do not work on better lightbulbs. AI, with all it's amazing rising capability, will work on better AI (and I focus here on AI because the ROBOT part is solved and irrelevant - the reason it took us so long to build human robots is that they make no sense without an AI, and once we magically suddenly had the AI, everyone just had to jump into the robot side, and they did that in a short time. AI is the deciding factor. Robots are one part - but the disruption will go into the complete chain and leave nothing, not even research. The only niches that will be left is where the human factor is deciding. Example? Until humans prefer to see robots boxing, boxers will be human (note: side reference to Real Steel, the movie). Until we are ok with cheering for soccer teams that are robots - soccer teams will be human. This is the one deciding factor that provides a safe space for a small human workforce. The problem is that this is a statistical outlier - how many professional soccer teams are there? Yeah, exactly. Anything else - no chance. Smartest man on earth - will be an idiot against the AI in his smartphone in a decade, against an AI in a data center way earlier. I think your insight 3 is wrong - it is about jobs. Jobs are a list of tasks, and robots and AI will go through all of them. Once I remove all the tasks of a job, the job has no meaning. As long as the tasks left for the job can be done by 10% of the workforce - well, 90% get fired. Robots will be idiots, then tools, then clumsy, then colleagues, then the workforce. And on every step, they will sell out because there is a tremendous amount of work and that will be the most epic backlog ever seen. I am not sure about your timeline. I jokingly put Tesla at an output of 1 million robots in 2030 - that is PER DAY, because I do not see the companies that HAVE the capacity not trying to push as much into their output as possible. The market will be flooded as soon as possible. As fast as possible. People saying i.e. that Tesla will do 100 robots in 2024, 1000 in 2025 and 10000 in 2026 - overlook that once they sell, and once they sell out, Tesla has the capacity to ramp up. They redesign their cars now to be 50% more efficient to be built, in work AND floor space. They will not sell more cars (due to competition) - that leaves a lot of factory floor space. They will imho start building production lines for Robots asap, and with more than 10 factories, they will do so FAST. 1000 in 2025, 100.000 in 2025, 1 million to 3 million in 2026 - that is imho a more aggressive timeline. I may overshooot, but they do not need buildings to repurpose floor space. And they have no incentive to not ramp that up asap.

The best thing for humanity, is God forbid, if Maye Musk should break both hips, as done recently by a family friend’s similarly elderly, (elegant, & artistic,) mother. The functional capabilities & manner of the resulting nursing care Optimus would coincidentally have the greatest range of applicability beyond most/all other purpose-built designs.

This video seems like it will age well.
