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

This is such a boomer meme
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
I think there were already projects of this with ChatGPT
I was gonna say Netherlands as that's the kind of shit I expect from Dutch architects, but upon further inspection, Germany?
Austria, Museum of Modern Art in Vienna. I have no information about the substances or medications the architect has taken.
Well, meanwhile in Canada....
Looks like a normal day in Australia to me...
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.
Edit: Of course they should replace them, but only after we get good living conditions for unemployed people, which are currently non-existent.
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.
I wish the bar was at living comfortably. As it stands it feels like the average person doesn't think non-workers deserve to live :/
Of course, the end goal (mind the word "end") is to replace them. However, in this current situation, where many people are struggling to find a job, it's not good.
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
I know this probably wasn't op who did this, but I have to ask: who the hell puts a watermark on a meme?
Ironically you could use a Stable Diffusion AI plugin to remove the watermark in GIMP.
Serious question (because I'm a dumbass): why is this ironic?
Timotainment's watermark is a main character in his videos.
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.
Ai made this to pretend it's an idiot political nut.
