Major players in the IT industry, including Jeff Bezos and Nvidia Corp., have reportedly invested in Figure AI Inc., a startup creating human-like robots. The company is seeking to raise approximately $675 million in a funding round. The move comes as part of a rush to discover new uses for artificial intelligence.
Why do you think human like robots can not help humanity? Do you think people always must do the menial work?
The problem with this under capitalism is the working class won’t see any benefit from robots taking mental jobs. The remaining jobs can rely on desperation instead of better pay to attract workers. If we were under a system that supported ubi, then yeah robots can take whatever job idgaf, I could find something that makes me happy. But that isn’t how capitalism works
We do not live just in capitalism. There are different political flavors of it. We live in democratic capitalism, which I believe is the best combination so far discovered (or the least evil). UBI is not contradictive to democratic capitalism and I believe we will come to something like that at the end.
its just regular old capitalism, as its always been
You must be very young to think like this…
Sorry but the world is about domination and profits for the rich. Humans are lost and the planet is losing life support for us soon.
I think I am just more optimistic/realistic than you are (I would not choose such depressing nickname for myself, for example).
First, I will deny you that people are evil and they are only about domination and profits. People are complex and beautiful creatures, but yes, there are ugly sides as well.
Second, if the world is about domination and profits, then we should see worse and worse life as time goes on. This is not the case. Just imagine how average life was 200 years, ago, 1000 years ago. 10000 years ago… Life is much better today, and will become only better in the future. True, there will be challenges, and setbacks, but we will evolve, we are smart and good enough for that. And AI will help :)
And thank you for calling me young. I did not hear this complement for a long time :)
TBH even if the costs of humans are high, their supply is nearly infinite. Spending resources on Robots would just be a waste.
