or how about this. exosuits. instead of throwing money at genAI and shitty humanoid robots to replace us i just want practical, affordable, relatively lightweight powered exoskeletons
The first application under capitalism would probably be ubercops beating protesters to a pulp with their exoskeleton
You can already rent them out in China to assist with long hikes and such
i can't believe they combined two of my favorite things like that
Also power tool companies make exosuits for construction work
They don't even have to be externally powered, just supporting our bone structure such that our muscles can move us with minimal skeletal degradation
That will just atrophy your muscles
nah it's about providing protection more then making you stronger.
allowing repetitive movement, holding your arms out for long periods without tiring, and reinforcing your skeleton and tendons.
actual iron man style artificial muscle suits are not there yet
maximizing productivity
