Har har very funny and all, but actually this is terrifying.

There are huge sectors of employment that will disappear soon.

Maybe all these robotics will turn out like the cotton gin, but I doubt it. Productivity gains from LLMs and robotics will squeeze out at minimum 50% of human jobs. Median IQ and above can cope, but we've been whittling down their options since the excavator.

I'm still waiting for the machine that washes, dries, and folds my laundry, but I have little doubt it's coming.
