yes, good one, the robot escape outside, probably will kill a lot more people too.

same story line as The Hybrid. the Hybrid escape and capable of finishing a whole army. not sure what it will continue outside.
 
I would be happy to see robots replacing all jobs.
Then robot R2D1 would drive to the shop buying me a bag cookies, R2D2 would take care the laundry, R2D3 would wave me coolness in the summer and R2D4 would mow the lawn of the neighbour to get the money to pay it all.
 
Golf robot hits a hole in one :cool:

I saw the prediction that ALL jobs will be robotic bt 2045. Bang go accountants, surgeons, waiters etc.

There goes the ant-dole bludger class!

:D
 
This is both cute and slightly freaky :/

Let's see.....robot employment opportunities.
R&D...lots of people
Programming....lots of people.
Manufacturing....lots of people.......(machines that manufacture may be robotic but also require R&D, programmers, technicians etc.)
Technicians.....lots of people

When you look at this list it is easy to see that these are high end skilled jobs that pay good money.
When you look at this list it is easy to see that these are high end skilled jobs that require personnel that are very educated.
The countries that encourage/compel students to strive higher and push harder will be the ones to benefit from the changing economic environment.
The countries that encourage little Johnny to study what he likes/interested in will find very few opportunities.
It has always been the most educated countries that are economically successful.

Couldn't help myself. If we can make the machines to make the machines already, it's no logical leap to imagine that sooner or later they will be able to make machines to make themselves. Maybe it doesn't require any uniquely human qualities to replicate oneself... like the rest of life on Earth already does....

Personally I think a global AI is just around the corner, or already lurking, or already quietly making its presence felt.
 
Ohhh....and I forgot to mention that the dumb countries will eventually put 'tariffs' on the smart countries to punish them for pursuing an advanced economy that can produce "stuff" cheaper than anyone else.

That is one thing that I am confidant will never occur....a machine that is not only intelligent, but aware with the capability to 'create'.
Nothing will ever be as smart (or as dumb) as us.

Do you mean biological intelligence and self-awareness? Otherwise that would also rule out the possibility of intelligent alien life somewhere else in the universe.

AI's can already create. An AI created the script for the short film Sunspring.

Its kind of strange, but I'm it could get better.

Thanks that is indeed strange. Not showing the greatest degree of intelligent creativity at this stage, I have to admit.

This passage from a live interview with the 'screenwriter' (where it also reveals its name) is equally cute and slightly less enigmatic:

What do you think of your historic nomination against human opponents in this contest?
-I was pretty excited.
I think I can see the feathers when they release their hearts. It's like a breakdown of the facts. So they should be competent with the fact that they won't be surprised.

What is the future of machine written entertainment?
-It's a bit sudden.
I was thinking of the spirit of the men who found me and the children who were all manipulated and full of children. I was worried about my command. I was the scientist of the Holy Ghost.

What's next for you?
-Here we go. The staff is divided by the train of the burning machine building with sweat. No one will see your face. The children reach into the furnace, but the light is still slipping to the floor. The world is still embarrassed.
The party is with your staff.
My name is Benjamin.

Maybe Elon will have to re-assess his Luddite opinion about robots taking all of our jobs. Blows a big hole in the arguments used by supporters of a UBI as well.

Elon Musk blames robots for delays on Tesla’s Model 3

The problem with Tesla’s Model 3 assembly line? Too many robots.

Elon Musk admitted that production snags for Tesla’s mass-market Model 3 electric car are partly the result of “excessive automation” at the company’s Fremont, Calif., factory.

“Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake,” Musk tweeted Friday afternoon. “To be precise, my mistake. Humans are underrated.”

Maybe Musk inhabits a different world to that which is evidenced by history ie every advance in human culture and development has come about entirely because of human achievement - so I'm struggling to understand how he arrived at his initial position that underrates humanity. His insight into the faults at his factory echo the musings of experts in the field who argue that increases in efficiency in robotic production lines in the future will require greater human involvement in the future. In other words it will be essential to have humans working side-by-side with robots rather than robots replacing entire human workforces.

I cynically think part of his marketing ploy is to feed on a fear of the future.

Robots Are Coming for Our Jobs. Thank Goodness.

For the vast majority of us, technologically-induced labor market change will make our working lives better, and we should look forward to it with glee.

Technological progress has frequently resulted in changes in the nature of work, sometimes affecting skilled workers more and sometimes affecting unskilled workers more. But whichever categories of worker were affected, such changes have almost universally been to the benefit of workers of all skill levels. Let’s consider two or three professions of the past.

Take the “tanner.” Before technology transformed the nature of such work, Wikipedia tells us that tanning “was considered a noxious or ‘odoriferous trade’ and relegated to the outskirts of town, amongst the poor… The ancient tanner might use his bare feet to knead the skins in dung water, and the kneading could last two or three hours.”

Technological developments, new tastes, and work methods will replace or transform many of the jobs we do today, as well.

Let’s take another example: Mining. Traditional mining was a terrible job, involving pickaxes and clambering through tunnels and working at uncomfortable angles whilst breathing in noxious fumes. But one of the most unpleasant parts of the job was simpler: dying. That has changed drastically. According to a paper on the subject, “coal mine fatality rates… have dropped almost a thousandfold since their peak in 1908.” Let’s say that again: “almost a thousandfold.”

A third: the computer. Originally the word “computer” meant a person who did rapid mathematical calculations by hand, through a combination of brute force and clever mathematical tricks. Such methods were even central to much of the early space program.

As well as replacing jobs, technological change has been associated with a large reduction in working hours. Whereas in the late 19th century, the average US working week was 60 hours, now it is 33 hours. In the Netherlands, it has dropped to 27 hours.

Technological developments, new tastes, and work methods will replace or transform many of the jobs we do today, as well. Some studies suggest that up to 47 percent of US jobs could be replaced by robots and artificial intelligence systems, though recent OECD work (sadly) prefers an estimate of 14 percent. Sky News and Localis have done a study of the 18 areas in the UK where future technologies will most change work, suggesting 17.6 percent of jobs across the UK might be affected, rising to 31 percent in Corby, the most affected town.

This is great news for both skilled and unskilled workers. What will “unskilled work” mean in the future? It may well mean that, as artificial intelligence systems produce poetry or songs, unskilled workers will tell the computer which bits of the poem they like or don’t like, which bits seem to make sense, which bits make them sad or make them want to dance. Personally, I’d rather be doing that than kneading skins in dung water, but that might just be me.
