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

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. ❤

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.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="447">7:27</a> - 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."

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

You basically invest in a robot to do your work.

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

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.

I hope robots stay on our side

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?

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

US crystal meth production! We are number one🎉

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

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 ?"

it’s less of a disruption but more of a transition. We will always work.

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.

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

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

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.

Top notch Farzad. Thank you

Really well done. Looking forward to weathering the storm.

Excellent video. I will watch these often and regularly.

Hopefully humanity can move past the AI robot filter

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cheers Farzad

Great video, Thank you Farzad!

The lesson of the analogy…. horses invented cars.

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.

This is great work. Thanks❤

wow amazing work !

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

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

Love you for the most awesome documentory ❤

Wow! This is brilliant, thank you!!

Amazing!!

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

Amazing video!

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

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.

Can we draft Optimus if needed?

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

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

This has been foretold by Billy Meier decades ago.

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

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.

That's bit a desirable outcome, as it means losing the bone mass, muscle mass, and knowledge required for survival. Case in point, just because we've developed bicycles, cars, helicopters, and airplanes, does not mean we no longer teach or young to walk. That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? Similarly, just because we build devices to do our work doesn't mean we shouldn't work.

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.

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".

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

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

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2155">35:55</a> Let's talk for a moment about the sizable gazongas on the robots typing away the desk - what purpose do they serve?

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?

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

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.

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

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

Excellent🎉

Cybersecurity will be of the utmost importance.

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

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.

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

This video seems like it will age well.

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

Can't wait for robot unions...😂

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

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.

We will do new things and find value in different places

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

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.

Nice video.

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.

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.

Insight 16: Raw material to build these humanoid robots? Insight 17: Where to put all the humanoid robots at end of life?

Those that have power and control right now will not give it up without a fight. I wager we'll see a dystopian outcome because of this and the fact that human life will be extended far beyond the norm, thereby not allowing new norms to flourish, but rather be held down by the chains of old outdated ideals.

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

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. 🤔

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?

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.

For every job a robot takes from a human the company should pay a person the wages for that job. The company still saves because it dont have to pay workers comp and income taxes for the job. A typical job cost a company 2 to 3 times the salary a person is getting.

Has the research team looked at the economic outcome of a humanoid robotic workforce. With no one working who will the manufacturers sell to. The public will have no money to purchase anything. The whole point of money is that it loves to circulate stop that circulation and things go very wrong very quickly. If there are set credits to given to the population then how does one earn extra credits and who controls this. Without proper regulation and even with regulation this sounds like a very dystopian future with a declining population, Poverty, war and famine.

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

So if they do all the work how do we make money to buy what robots are making? This is a dead end.

《 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

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.

This technology united with human nature sounds dire depletion of human life on earth.

Ah, wait for the robots to rebel...and not pay taxes! Yes they will be taxed!!!! There's a huge problems not solved. Do you see the problems? Seemingly new to be resolved. The materials needed to replace humans with robots is monumental and should be discussed perhaps as part two in the presentation. All the very best

very scary not sure i even want to be alive when it all happens

There are many labor jobs a robot will have a hard time to do. Thank god.

I wonder how tesla engineers feel about working towards unemployment. They should offer them a pension plan when signing on since one day they will no longer be required to do the ‘tasks’

I guess that'll help people who are lonely but that's scary thought

Good! I hate my life. Now I can have this robot live it for me.
