Robots At Work

An interesting piece from J. Storrs Hall on machine workers and the AI takeover...

"Right now we have a Moore’s Law for the robot’s brain but not for its body. In other words, we may enter a strange period where white-collar workers are replaced by beige boxes but blue-collar ones are still cheaper — for a little while — than a fully-capable humanoid robot body. (That will disappear soon enough after nanotech manufacturing takes hold, but at the moment, it looks like AI may be a decade earlier than real nanotech.)"
