WTF is that thing suppose to do. It's like a weird horse robot thing.

Squat 100lbs. Achieve consciousness. Kill humans.

Super cool robots with amazing stability. A bit slow, and lousy job of pallet stacking. Actually you can buy a bot that will do that stacking about 10x as fast, and much more accurately, but it will be in a fixed position. Cobots are where the action is. Basically robot assistance for repetitive, menial tasks.

How high do those bubbles go though?

I have been following the evolution of AI for awhile. I believe that - ultimately - it's going to affect the job industry a lot differently than what many people think. Those persons with skilled trades and / or who perform manual labor will come out ahead:

Oh good, you removed that gay avatar.

I work in the ML and AI world. For sure it's going to change the low skill job world and experts in "art" and master craftsmen will be in the winners circle. I love how it's going to change the world.

I also bow to our future robot overlords.

Unfortunately, many things will continue to become obsolete and "lost arts" - while those few persons still around who have the mastery in them already will benefit immensely. It's exciting and also a little bit scary to be alive in a time when the world for humanity is changing so quickly - arguably the fastest in human history.

I tried to read the article a few times and it seemed like the website was trying to give my system a virus. I was just getting to the part where IBM and Google are debating the point of quantum vs. binary computers - also reading up on quantum computers. It looks as though technology itself is going to replace almost all logistics jobs - starting in the IT industry - and especially related to software. AI has already begun replacing repetitive manual labor style jobs. Most of the highest paying jobs in the future will be be "hands on" techs working with hardware & AI - and master artists / craftsman with 20+ years of experience in their field. I'd argue that these techs are also artists / craftsmen of a kind.

Not really how we die (YET), but a cool video.
