The author reflects on the rapid advancement of AI and robotics since 2023, stating that an inflection point has been reached where most labor will soon be replaceable by robotics/humanoids. They cite Amazon's leaked strategy to avoid hiring 600,000 workers using robots, and note that while regulation-bound and ultra-specialized jobs remain safe, frontier technologies are becoming a national security race between the US and China.
“Bruh, when I first tried out ChatGPT around 2023, I thought it LLMs were garbage at coding. 3Y later, Mythos is considered a modern day “nuke” for cybersecurity. People keep saying humanoids can’t do X or Y task today like plumbing or DC wiring. No sht, but it’s about where things are heading over the few years. And it’s clear to me and VC apparently that we’ve just hit the inflection point where soon: majority of labor you think is human-only, can be replaced by robotics/humanoids. You're already seeing this too with internal strategies: Remember $AMZN leaked strat planned to avoid hiring 600,000 workers by them with robots like $CCXI? If you see past the "assistive robotics" public image framing to prevent protest, it's clear the goals is maximizing, opex efficiency. The main areas I think are safe however are regulation bound (eg. Medicine), ultra specialized labor, or require human/emotional connections. But I think you'll be blown away by the rate of change when frontier technologies become national security races between US and China... especially when China is currently in the lead.”Original post：X / @aleabitoreddit ↗
