I take it you haven’t seen the recent advancements in both robotics and LLM powered agents
If it’s LLM and robotics it better get used to having dick in it
They’ve learned to asnwer to emails?
LLM haters in 3… 2…

Nerd rapture into the loving arms of the godlike but submissive holo waifu and ultimate comeuppance for the unwashed rabble is always, always just around the corner. Just you wait.

Honestly we’ll probably get there eventually. There are already AIs capable of making video game footage look realistic, and we can also simulate physics in game engines with some degree of accuracy.
There will likely come a point when researchers are able to simulate the physics and the graphics accurately enough that they’ll be able to train AIs in these simulations and have them work in real life.

This is such a boomer meme
I know this probably wasn’t op who did this, but I have to ask: who the hell puts a watermark on a meme?
Where? I can’t see it
On chad’s helmet
Ironically you could use a Stable Diffusion AI plugin to remove the watermark in GIMP.
Quite a few well known memers, not the peseants though
I don’t even understand the benefit of it. It’s not like memeing is a job where you have to protect your intellectual property. Why even do it? Do they think so highly of themselves that they need to “protect” memes that they create? They’re randos on the Internet adding captions to images, not V/A professionals…
It also goes against the longstanding spirit of Internet memes, that they are things to by definition be shared, not intellectual property to be bound.
They want to drive traffic to their pages so they can make ad and sponsor money
Assholes.
Wait til you see the head nodders and finger pointers on videos.
You should take a few minutes to watch this video if you want to see how serious memers can get about ‘stealing memes’ kids with partially developed brains with too much internet access and free time obsess over nutty things

Did you share a meme from a fascist page on purpose?
Man, what sort of thing you made me just discover ahahaha
Yep, there will always be room for humans in the suffering industry.
Wow, what a stupid construction company (if they are the ones behind this.) AI will come for manual labor in a way that makes what’s happening right now look unimpactful. And what’s going on right now is very fucked up.
We can 3D print buildings so we’re almost there.
Sort of… we can 3D print walls out of specific concrete blends that run nicely through an extended hose system that runs from the mud pump to the print nozzle. But, concrete has a limited time as mud before it starts to harden, so you can only print for so many hours before you have to stop and flush out the pump and hoses before it turns into rock, and the concrete mix can’t be too chunky (like including gravel) to flow through the system.
Also, if you get all that right, then you can print walls… but not structural frames that would support a multistory building, or plumbing or electrical wiring or insulation or windows or roofs…
We’re a long way from 3D printing a building wholesale.
Have you seen the newest South Park Special cuz your post made me think of it. ^^
Your skills are irreplaceable, and your body is expendable . Work harder !
Ai made this to pretend it’s an idiot political nut.
Lmao they are 3D printing houses right now. We’re all jobless in the future, bud. Thats a good thing.
He thinks it’s a good thing
He thinks we get universal welfare.
I think we get a bigger wealth gap and huge poverty.
Have you seen a 3D printed house? They look like shit with their lumpy walls, and you still have to run all the plumbing power, and ventilation.
Yeah, technology will never continue to develop!
Nobody is saying that but reading a headline that says “Construction company prints some walls!” and then saying “welp that’s it they’re out here just AI generating whole ass buildings” is pretty uh… Dumb.
And the picture says “your skills are irreplaceable.” If you truly believe that basic construction is irreplaceable then I have bad news for you.
I have bad news for you because it seems obvious you have never done basic construction: You’re not replacing builders with computers any time soon.
No they aren’t :/ They can make bricks and ‘print’ walls, which is really just a cool way of pouring concrete. Hardly printing a house.
Ahhh yes. In capitalism, if you create a machine that can replace say, 10 people, you don’t give them 1/10 of the work. You fire them and maybe hire someone to operate it.
Machines and human workers can coexist. They don’t have to replace them.
They should replace them. What really needs undoing is this imbecilic idea that only workers deserve to live comfortably.
They should replace workers and people should deserve to live without being workers, but it should also be painfully obvious that our current economic system won’t support this idea, and won’t until we do some pretty drastic things.
It’s not that we couldn’t build a post-scarcity society probably even right now given some pretty radical adjustment of resource allocations, we just don’t want to build one – “we” being the 0.01% that have such insane amounts of wealth that they’ve essentially taken over the whole economic system, largely thanks to eg. dumb fucks like Reagan and sociopathic fucks like Thatcher and the people who idolize them buying into the idea that they too can be that rich because the wealth will somehow magically trickle down.
That would be the mentality I’m talking about us needing to kill. Regardless, AI will help with this problem, in both it being inevitable that it will provide people with more free time (due to efficiencies or unemployment) - which is needed to be able to effectively revolt - and it will help address the issues of transforming our economic model, as the machines will have a much better way of distributing goods and services. Also capitalism needs workers to have money so that they can buy the products they produce, which should at some point necessitate a universal basic income, which will further help erode the work = money paradigm.
If you think this current brand of capitalism requires plebs to have money, I’m not sure how you explain the fact that when taking inflation into account wages have been either stagnant or actually going down ever since the 70’s / 80’s, the amount of wealth owned by the same plebs compared to the “financial ruling class” (mainly executives and such, and especially the banking sector thanks to deregulation) has shrunk dramatically, and cost of living keeps getting higher, while at the same time the compensation for the “financial ruling class” has grown at a frankly exponential rate.
Sufficiently advanced AI will, if anything, make it even more likely that that “ruling class” will realize they don’t need quite as many of us around because all we do us suck up their resources and complain how we haven’t eaten anything but cup noodles in a week and our teeth hurt.
Yeah, we arent going to get our Jetsons future if we refuse to restructure our society towards not having to work instead of just fighting the tech because its taking our jobs away
Just wait until someone connect chatgpt to one of those gigantic 3d printers that print buildings.
Are we really that far from having “AI” do this?
Unfortunately, those building 3D printers are mostly just a publicity stunt currently. Too impractical to use at any sort of scale.
Now, if we were to combine AI with the old Sears kit homes, we might be onto something. Given a standardized list of stuff like room dimensions and the materials required for their construction, AI could probably generate an endless number of variations of both houses and additions for them with an exact list of required construction materials and equipment. Entire series of standardized houses with all the materials prepped ahead of time, ready to just be delivered to a plot of land and constructed on site by a local construction companies, with only minor adjustments required to account for the specific peculiarities of the area. The IKEA of house construction.
Shit tears itself down in 2 weeks
You can’t 3D print laying all the pipe and the electric cabling and adding fixtures and insulation and all sorts of other things homes need.
You can 3D print the basic structure. That’s it. You’re saving on bricklaying or carpentry.
And the second that it is economically viable the companies will be dumping their bricklayers/carpenters down the drain and replacing them with computer controlled construction methods.
When will it be economically viable to dump all the people who have to set up the equipment and all of the people who have to do everything but make the basic structure? Is this ‘house set up and entirely built by robots down to the light fixtures with no human intervention’ a near future proposition?
When was it economically viable to replace hand-sewn lumber with lumber mills?
Then they went and made portable electric saws. What a world!
And then electric drills! And laser levels!
We keep making tools that always increase productivity and reduce time and cost. It’s Constant incremental progress, and on a large scale it’s great because it frees up (human) resources to focus on new industry and technology, which furthers the CIP. On the micro scale, there may be a small number of temporarily displaced workers as jobs shuffle around and workers re-skill.
But at this particular intersection of technology, we are at a pretty bad spot. We are on the verge of massive progress in multiple industries, and wealth has concentrated in the elite classes. “Temporarily displaced workers” won’t have the capital to re-skill or invest their own resources into new industry. This is bad.
When was it economically viable to replace hand-sewn lumber with lumber mills?
When they did it. Because they could process a huge amount more lumber. I’m not sure I understand.
what they are saying is that in the past, technological leaps meant increases in productivity and generally freed the displaced workers into new careers, but this time the sheer scale of change that is imminent doesn’t leave time for that. it’s going to be bad
You can. They’ve already built prototypes that fit on the back of a semi
We have robots that work in warehouses moving stuff precisely all the time. Placing pipes should be no problem.
Not so much of the physical building, but I bet the designing isn’t too big of a stretch. Think something like procedural generation to make like 2/3 of a floor plan and have humans make sure it makes sense and add details.
