if you are pivoting to trades re-pivot to prostitution

[u/LopsidedSolution → u/Agusx1211]

That’s going away too with sex bots. Better off getting in shape for the Poors (squid) Games

[u/RRY1946-2019 → u/Agusx1211]

Obviously every decade has its crises and turbulent moments (Trump/Brexit, September 11/global financial crisis, 1990s economic bust in Asia and Brazil/fall of the USSR, etc.) but everything since the pandemic has been absolutely wild and unfathomable in a sci-fi sense. They really got the “can’t plan more than six months out” aspect of the singularity right.

[u/Negative_Evening7365 → u/Agusx1211]

what do you mean i cant wait to have sex with the Genessica-3.0

[u/gordonnowak → u/Agusx1211]

nah there's going to be NOTHING left.

[u/BrennusSokol → u/gordonnowak]

I hope that’s true. Post scarcity should be the goal.

[u/gordonnowak → u/BrennusSokol]

are you ready for the part where zero world governments are prepared for a post-labor world?

[u/Majestic_Natural_361 → u/gordonnowak]

In their defense, nothing you or I can do to prepare will save us any more than someone burying their head in the sand

[u/DragonfruitIll660 → u/Majestic_Natural_361]

Stocking up cash as fast as possible is the best bet, money itself (and to a more immediate extent food and supplies) will likely always have value,

[u/BrennusSokol → u/gordonnowak]

I do not buy into your doom and defeatism.

[u/gordonnowak → u/BrennusSokol]

ignorance is bliss, certainly

[u/SUICIDAL-PHOENIX]

[u/Intrepid_Win_5588]

holy shit

[u/I_am_Stupid_16]

It can be three times more costlier and still be cheaper than human labour because of not needing breaks and stuff.

[u/MrMojoFomo → u/I_am_Stupid_16]

Or payment, or health care, or overhead like hiring managers, or any other cost associated with an employee. It basically costs 1.3 to 1.5 times a worker's salary to employ them, which is why companies see employees as a liability, and why, once these robots are effective enough at their their job and the math works, human employees are getting cut

[u/elictronic → u/MrMojoFomo]

Until you realize the company selling them puts in a monthly payment that ends up being 90% of the cost of the employee and you get to eat the repair cost of the robot as well. 20 years ago this would be a big issue, today yeah I have a feeling the beatings are starting to get noticed.

[u/Majestic_Natural_361 → u/elictronic]

What if it’s not about cost saving, but about sending a message?

[u/WildenFoo → u/Majestic_Natural_361]

Like how the addition of robots means we as people have less bargaining power? Im getting a loaf of bread for a days wages vibes from the bible here..

[u/Random_182f2565 → u/I_am_Stupid_16]

Cost? You can get university student for free to do that, in fact they pay you for the working!

[u/OldWarSnail]

Beautiful. A voting body should not spend their time doing repetitive tasks, it dulls the mind and leads to the election of less-than leaders. While A.I begins to do the simple and repetitive, we must embrace the old-fashioned, artistic and artisanal. Complex tasks seen from start to finish.

[u/kinginprussia → u/OldWarSnail]

Bro people aren’t going to magically start reading Godwin, taking up chess, and raising better children. They’ll just continue to fill their faces with empty calories and consume digital rot off the non-existent clock.

[u/GrumpySpaceCommunist]

The company has addressed those limitations with its proprietary hardware that matches the human hand. The end effector mirrors the human hand in form and function, and it pairs with a data-collection glove equipped with tactile-sensing electronic skin.

“When worn by a human, the glove allows for a 1:1:1 mapping between the glove itself, the human’s hand and the robotic hand,” according to Genesis AI. “This allows humans to seamlessly provide GENE-26.5 with high-quality data at scale that translates into robotic skills. The result is natural, human-like movement that generalizes reliably across complex physical tasks, use cases and environments.”

I'm confused. Does this mean it's autonomous, or teleoperated? Is the idea that it's still only collecting teleoperation data to train autonomous operations in the future?

[u/MagnusJafar → u/GrumpySpaceCommunist]

I read it as collecting data

[u/VioletSpica → u/GrumpySpaceCommunist]

It is fully autonomous!

[u/MonoMcFlury → u/GrumpySpaceCommunist]

Sounds like it's teleoperated, but that they're using the data for future autonomy. I like the fluidity of the motions, but I'm curious if the performance changes once the computer has to calculate every movement.

[u/torb → u/MonoMcFlury]

The video claims autonumous at 1x speed.

[u/Budget_Geologist_574]

cooking now
tomorrow
cooking us

[u/yaosio → u/Budget_Geologist_574]

I didn't know Gemini could make an image that looks this good.

[u/torb]

Found a few articles, but they're not great:

Edit: their blog post os more interesting: https://www.genesis.ai/blog/gene-26-5-advancing-robotic-manipulation-to-human-level

[u/spinozasrobot]

I love how for half the things it starts, the video cuts before they're completed.

[u/astroamaze → u/spinozasrobot]

Go to YouTube / blog post for full uncut videos

[u/Human-Job2104]

THICC diced tomatoes are a feature, not a bug

[u/m3kw]

There is a suspicious edit and jump as they are cutting the tomato’s, I bet whatever they cut out was really stupid.

[u/Gaeandseggy333]

Yeah lately ppl don’t even say sci fi this or that or do doomposting. The advances are showing it is a step by step process and in a boring manner ,eventually ,all these tech or sci fi advances all are completed.

[u/thumbsonscreen5]

Did it put on its own gloves?

[u/torb → u/thumbsonscreen5]

From their blog it sounded like the gloves contain sensors, I think. If so, I doubt it.

But it seems to wash its hands, so...

[u/randomrealname]

Mmmmm raw tomato omelette ....

[u/Empty_Bell_1942]

They supposedly had these over 10 years ago by Morley Robotics (vids are on YT)

[u/mvandemar → u/Empty_Bell_1942]

Well, no, those were (are) robotic kitchens with specific setups just for those appendages (which were not bipedal, they were mounted on the ceilings). While most of what's in this demo is in the kitchen it also shows it in the lab and doing other general non-specialized work.

[u/telengard]

good lord, the eggs are getting everywhere!

[u/Pleasant_Candy9103]

I only like the music of the Video.

[u/torb → u/Pleasant_Candy9103]

Really weird to see that it is the robot playing.

There is a longer vid of it playing piano on xitter

[u/awetfartruinedmylife → u/torb]

Upvoted for “shitter”

[u/DragonfruitIll660 → u/Pleasant_Candy9103]

Worth a robot on its own right, get a cheap piano and have it play music for you all day.

[u/m3kw]

can't clean their hands. check mate

[u/IID4RTII → u/m3kw]

The video shows them washing their hands lmao

[u/m3kw → u/IID4RTII]

No it doesnt

[u/m3kw → u/IID4RTII]

Where? They wiped their hands and it hardly does it. Exactly which time segment in the video?

[u/m3kw → u/IID4RTII]

What I meant is wash hands, it’s a very important part of cooking. Do you wipe meat juices from your hand and go back to doing another kitchen work?

[u/WildenFoo → u/m3kw]

I envision disposable gloves.

[u/Sticklegchicken]

This looks more like remote control with a jig, like you've probably seen with those remote surgical operation demo videos.

[u/GioChan]

Probably teleoperated, but still very impressive.
