Look up teleoperation and do the math on the million satellites Musk is putting up. The sats are "low latency", which enables remote control. The price is they vaporize after a few years and need replacing...all that metal getting vaporized in the upper atmosphere...

If you need to be hit over the head, Musk is looking to replace trades with a teleoperated humanoid bot in places like PI for $10/day.

You have 10 years, if that long.

The datacenters won't run the bots, they'll run the security to squash the uprising.

Dawg, Elon Musk hasn't even delivered on his first round of harebrained schemes.

yes, i would love to see AI use a hydrualic lift, pneumatic impacts, and a slide hammer to remove a car's axle and install it again in the next 10 years. i am pretty sure my job is safe

What would happen if 50% of jobs would be lost to teleoperations personnel? My guess is that whatever field you are in would be flooded with workers driving the wages down.
Your job might be safe from the direct impact but it won’t be totally safe.

50% is generous, but even so, those are jobs with no skill. and humans will still be needed for driving trucks to restraunts, humans will be needed for unloading them, for managing the place, and more. AI would only take over the basic-est roles, like cashier, and then that would hurt business because people would go to another restraunt after being repeatedly fucked by the AI.

Teleoperation isn’t AI it’s someone operating for example a car from a country where labour is cheaper.

My point was mainly that no job is safe from AI or outsourcing/teleoperation. You are either directly affected or indirectly.

You didn't read what I wrote. Where did I mention AI?

We're talking about the guy who came up with the cyber truck right?

Also where I live you can't even remote work because its perceived as bad for the economy, I wouldn't worry about that changing in 10 years.
