Think of it this way if millions of construction workers existed -- all willing to work for $1 an hour .. everyone could live in a mansion because the cost of building a home would be so low. Even the construction worker would be able to afford themselves a mansion as well.

I can't figure out how you calculated this at all. It doesn't make sense mathematically.

COSMIC is new(ish) and wants to make a splash. So they are trying to quickly get their design goals and feature parity as fast as possible. That's going to introduce new bugs, a compromise they were willing to make.

Nah, they just don't know what they are doing. They are code monkeys, not software engineers.

Bugs take a lot longer to fix the more you delay.

If your job is filling out forms or collating information to produce reports, if it's taking notes, if it's taking inventory, if it's managing schedules, if it's producing documentation...

All those jobs are going to fall to IT. Not entirely, but it'll be human oversight and an AI replacing a team of white collar workers.

At the same time, it'll be embodied in robots and unskilled manual labor jobs will evaporate (this is already happening).

Good luck adjusting when the disruption is broad, deep, and rapid throughout the economy and workers can't retrain as quickly as jobs are eliminated. This isn't the automobile, this is "cheap obedient slaves with almost no support cost for those who can afford the upfront price tag".

So basically, your approach likely leads to a future where the models never learn to handle emergency vehicles, because safety drivers keep having to intervene before they can gather adequate data

Tell me you don't know how model training works without telling me you don't know how model training works.

Define "working society". Are you including the people who shoplift/steal items and make their living selling them at popup flea markets?

Boosters are risking their freedom and even their lives. If it was easier for them to find work then they'd do legitimate work instead of boosting. Selling at flea markets is a job itself, so they're clearly willing to work.
