The whole point of having a dictatorship of the proletariat established, which is what it means to be a socialist country, is to ensure that final decision about the way technology is used isn't in the hands of capitalists. Yes, China has capitalists, and exploitative forces, but they're not in charge, and they are subordinate to the proletarian state.

UniTree produces humanoid robots for around 12k a pop already. These types of robots can already do lots of useful jobs that humans used to do. It's not some future thing that requires breakthroughs, it's happening already. Here's one example https://peertube.mesnumeriques.fr/w/jNakB3B5dRoeJkShnVRgDk

This tech is rapidly improving, and it's only going to keep getting better going forward which means robots taking over an increasingly wide range of manual labour. Machine learning is also advancing rapidly right now, and new things are being figured out every day. These types of breakthroughs are happening on monthly basis right now https://github.com/sizhe-li/neural-jacobian-field

Ok that's pretty amazing. I gotta check out these Chinese robo vacuums. :)

The advantage of humanoid robots is their versatility. A single robot can be adapted to accomplish many different tasks. I don't expect these will compete with fixed robotic arms, but rather complement them the way humans do right now.

Good thing this is being developed in China which is socialist.

Given that it's happening in China, there's a good chance automation will be used to reduce work.

Yeah, it's literally the exact same dynamics again, but the difference is that the working majority is on far thinner margins today than they were in 2008.

Yeah, I find he's typically very insightful.

to a different community I think?
