If it’s a switch to a robotic AI society, where’s the profit gonna come from? The stock prices reflect expected future profits. If we have more work done by robots and AI, that work isn’t done by people, so people aren’t getting paid for it. Who’s gonna pay for this product to materialize these expected profits?
Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter

Companies and governments are gonna buy robots, made by other robots. Typical scenarios include military, manifacturing, surveillance and so on.
Today companies pay humans for those things. It will change as soon as robots can do a task.

And VR will take off any day now?
1984@lemmy.today 2 days ago
Virtual Reality? Not in the way we have it now with huge expensive glasses and special software. Thats just the first experimental phrase of the technology.
I dont think it has a purpose yet. Maybe in the future, it will. Some killer app where VR is essential and everybody wants that app.
Probably something related to porn. Wouldnt be surprised.
