yes, this robot can make a pizza. but is a robot at this level really less expensive? do ppl really want to bother with technicians and maintenance at a pizza parlor? do ppl really want robot pizza? how many? adoption is more complicated than "technology exists."

show me a self-replicating, self-maintaining fleet of semi-autonomous pizza robots that operate for *less* than minimum wage and i'll agree we're probably looking at a real labor shift... in the utopian world we are necessarily now living in.

It's a pair of stock UR10s with the stock fingers, open-looping its trajectories unless there's a $10ks of mocap gear just out of frame. Designs like that take lots of human supervision and break down regularly. If that sort of approach worked we'd be up to ears in them already.

In general with robot demo videos like this: * Sensors are much harder & less sexy than actuators. If the video is all "movers" and no "lookers" it's nonsense. * Look for cuts. Unless you see a full activity cycle, every camera cut is a place human intervention was needed.

I’m waiting for the day when we are not hoping tech creates new jobs but eliminates them entirely, and people evolve out of finding meaning in doing something they wouldn’t do for free.

jeeeesus cannot believe the conversation is still at this level — literally no amount of preceding evidence is enough to make these people suspect that maybe replacing the shoe-shine boys is a *good* thing. And this pizza looks TERRIBLE, of course it’s the French

There’s always an undertone to this hand-wringing of “how will those freed of physical labor free their time?” as if the thin line between order and chaos is made of minimum wage, physically exhausting jobs. The number of manual laborers we help with low cost 3D work...

to assist their patent/invention process makes me optimistic that with automation will come a snowball effect of those innovations to our physical surroundings that we so desperately aspire to.

Seems like a good thing to have AI increased ability to automate/remove jobs that atrophy the mind (if we can program a robot to perform a task, we shouldnt be making a human mind repetitively do it). Makes way for jobs that utilize ppls unique abilities https://twitter.com/auderdy/status/1199627997629698051?s=20 …https://twitter.com/auderdy/status/1199627997629698051 …

One of my more horrifying and misanthropic thoughts is that there is some number of people with no inclination or ability for creative work. What do they do in a knowledge economy?
