"Make me dinner"

"i can't do that, you're already 1200 calories above your recommended daily intake Dave"

I'm here so early that my job has not yet been lost to AI

[jancerny]

“I’d like something to eat.”
“The only edible items I scan in this room are a Honeycrisp apple and your cameraman. Which one shall I serve?”

[hyy]

Remember folks, robots will turn red if they are bad.

[whateverrandomnumber]

I can imagine the real conversation would be:

"Can I get something to eat?"
"Please purchase the cook pack for 89, 99 per month"

It's funny but dystopian to think of a rescue robot just standing there, buffering away for 10 seconds while you're dying on the ground. All because you wanted the cheaper internet package from Xfinity :')

Labor shortage? Maybe what they mean is that the pay is so low people don't wanna do those jobs.

When I can teach a robot a secret handshake, I'm sold.

"unlike humans, robots don't need to take a break, sleep, go on holidays, strike .." or disobey orders, which is very very troubling when these are inevitably used as soldiers

People aren't leaving the workforce, the workforce is forcing people out. Steadily applying for jobs and not even getting calla back for things I'm well qualified for. And the fact that he launched a job board company then transitioned to robots to replace workers is a connection that my conspiratorial brain is clinging to.

As a young man in his mid-twenties, I don't know what field to work in, because every day I see artificial intelligence getting better .

I agree that NVDA is seen as the "Stock of the year." I'm interested in identifying potential stocks that could emulate META's growth over the next decade. With $250k allocated for investment, my goal is to retire comfortably.

This isn't a labour shortage there's an incentive shortage

The robot waiting for 10 seconds in response to emergency sounds like something that can be easily solved by installing local emergency response software that allows instant reactions on certain situations, like contacting 911 and performing basic emergency procedures, while it is waiting for the server to respond.

I dont distrust the Robots, i distrust the evil emperor who commands them

[chrisjameswarren]

A robot waiting ten seconds while you're having a heart attack sounds great in comparison to waiting an hour for an ambulance to arrive! 😂

Did anyone notice that right hand reflex at 2:06 This is why I am impressed, excited and scared.

We need a Robot Olympics where all of the various Robot makers from around the world could have their humanoid robots compete in various robot events.
