It absolutely makes sense to replace workers with robots from the perspective of a single company. If you broaden the perspective, you end up in existential questions. What is the purpose of life. What is the purpose of 7 000 000 000 people? What do we do with "obsolete" people, people who do not contribute to the economy.
That is when the hard questions emerge. Too easy to hide behind a single company then. "Let the government figure it out! Not my concern!". If you do not engage there, it will become your concern whether you want it or not, long term. Lets fantasize a bit. Let's make it extreme. AI takes over, robots do 95% of the work. That includes maintaining robots. It could go two ways I guess. We all live a life long vacation, or it polarizes in haves and have nots. With the way things are set up now, it will go in the haves have nots direction. That is brutal. That is a total disrespect for human life. We better start thinking of a social welfare program or it is going to be very ugly.
We have been here before. Basically when steam engines and machinery improved our living standards. In my country, that is when socialism emerged in the government. After a lot of bloodshed. Let's try to avoid the bloodshed this time. Let's, for once, let reason rule, not hormones.

My fingers hurt after typing for a long period. Speech may give them some time to rest.

Just had an issue with the water pump in my home. Chatgpt walked me through the repairs. Thanks, ai!
It is far from perfect, but it is good enough for a lot of things.

When people are talking about it, it is too late.

Last router I bought had the option to set up a separate wifi network for iot devices. This may be such thing. From memory a rather standard TP-Link. Ax50 something.

It is rather new. It was invented by Phillips a while back. You just press a pad in a machine. Then it pushes hot high pressure water through. Basically an espresso machine, but the powder is bagged for convenience.

Oh, this maybe something local. Been around for a decade or two. Looks like this: https://kaffeenavigator.de/wp-...

I am a bit anti hype. I roll my eyes when someone starts talking about how to do the perfect espresso. Don't take this personal. It is one of my quirks.
I had a colleague who was drawn into the hype. Of course I mentioned that I go for the cheapest coffee in the rack in the supermarket. I hunt for the cheapest. I rubbed it in.
Poor lad did not have time to go get his fresh coffee from the shop one day, so in desperation, he asked me if he could use one of my coffee pads. I thought about letting him sign a waiver first. Sometimes I suspect that they put asbestos in the cheap pads (quirk number 2, bored easily compensates with weird humor). You guessed it. He now uses ordinary coffee pads daily.
If this triggers you, no worries, we all are entitled to a few quirks. Stay proud of your perfect espresso. I may roll my eyes. People...

I can drive to Brussels. Park my car next to the EU buildings and shout just that. Plenty of weirdos in Brussels. One more or less? Who cares.

He can't back out now! It is Thursday! God damnit, this is very confusing for me. He could have waited a few days... Oh he is going to back off from his deal with Iran Tuesday. Saying it was all part of the plan, letting them THINK they were getting money. Brilliant! ... ... ... Yawn.

... a few... because... people. But yeah, you made a good point.

Then add an expanding cloud of debris... and lots and lots of tiny things in different orbits.
But yes, you are right, I should do the math.

after that think of how many there are out there.

It is a bit hard not to hit a star link satellite when something breaks up there. Those satellites take up a lot of space.

All, thanks for clearing up the Ai story with some positive examples. Looks like it is more than a hype. This was very interesting.
