Like said by others, the sensor problem is a real one, and personally I don't see a robotic hand matching the dexterity of a human one, within a viable economic cost and sufficient robustness, before a long time (but I could be wrong ).

But for the part that concern physical understanding of the world, adaptability, and basic manipulation, it feels like the field is going through a break through.

The implication might be the apparition of generalist robots, that could perform (in the limit of their dexterity) on a wide range of tasks, commanded by natural language.

Sure, not on pair with human dexterity yet, but as a thought exercise, think of all the things you could do with simple claws, or heavy glove. What if a robot was able to do the same ?

The feed back loop is getting reduced by those new ways of training, simulation and video generation with realistic physics is kind of changing the game.

You do not think that the chatgpt moment is happening right now ?

Here is a good video on the subject by nvidia, very fun prez:

PS: It's sad that robotic does not seems to get a lot of traction on HN :(

I don't know why you are downvoted, seems like a reasonable thought to me.

I don't think money will disappear since it's still a practical way to exchange goods, and multiple actors would still want to trade using money.

But the value of most human skills in money will be 0, so to have money you must have either capital or control over capital.

My reflexion is not complete yet, but maybe the group of people that are considered to be "in the global economy" is gonna be drastically reduced.

So in short: Global pauperisation, and even greater inequality ?

Hopping that space colonization will become a thing for the top 0.0001% and that earth will not be their main concern, but yes I’m an optimistic person by nature.

Energy, land and row materials will be the main limiting factors.

Mega corp will advance technology exponentially, but for the rest of us we will live in a mix of medieval life style assisted by robotic and low tech. People will exode city and go back to the countryside.

For what concern my self, I'm buying arable land, maybe in couple of years home food production will be fully automated.

I don't know why this is not on HN yet

What did you build ?
