The Robots are Coming

We are “2 to 3 years” from mass adoption of robots — Elon thinks it could happen even faster.

Also one of the biggest threats to our country’s stability. What’s going to happen when robotics can replace 30-50 million low-skill/low-wage Americans? I’m extremely excited for Optimus – no more cleaning dishes, cooking, taking out trash, laundry, cleaning base boards. But it’s not without risk – Master Chief – – – — response – We once had horses everywhere. Cars were invented – and all who worked on horses were upset – but jobs were replaced over time – no issues at all – Mal Antoni
Interesting to contemplate- not only will the robots replace the workers doing jobs that we humans don’t want to do…. but they will also replace us in the jobs we like & WANT to do, along with all the artists, musicians, writers, poets, etc… In fact, there will be nothing they CAN’T do, which speaks to your point on humans becoming entirely unnecessary….. at which point, what will happen? The robots will clearly be aware that humans WANT some of these jobs… will the robots compete with us? Become violent? Lie and ruin our lives if we dare speak against them? Where does this horrific sci-fi nightmare end? – Aeron
Which is why I’m invested in Tesla. Not many have even consider the licensing and data analytics opportunities that will become reality in the next few years. – Rob Volatile
At a one time purchase of $20k, robots would be a far cheaper solution for the elderly than assisted living. Administer pills on a precise schedule, assist in and out of showers and off toilets with more dignity, pick seniors up if they fall, datalink health info in emergencies – Steve Motter
