Forum Overview :: Rants :: I think they'll figure out how to make robots fold clothes in our lifetime

[quote name="blackwater"]Like you said, though, the issue isn't really figuring out how to do one specific mechanical action, but just generally being intelligent. Nobody is leaving their kids with a robot instead of a babysitter. Nobody's going to suggest replacing the HR department with robots. Someone still has to figure out when the various machines get jammed. There will be plenty of work, in the future. This stuff reminds me of "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_cheap_to_meter">energy too cheap to meter</a>" -- remember that?[/quote]
