        This is not version 1.0. They have been working on this since the 90s. And it is still far from a concern for anyone in this trade. There is a laundry list of things in the real world scenario that will make this impossible. They are unable to replace truck drivers. Let that sink in. Simple things like some cement dust or a dirty floor, or a hot working environment make this robot a very bad meme.

        Things like teachers and Doctors will get replaced before a great deal of tradesman. Or lawyers for that matter. Anything that requires you to think and act will be really hard to replace. When was the last time your smart phone was bogged down or required replacement? And it's a brick.

                to have tradies be able to operate that shit, automatisation of frickton of unit processes is required, unless you offer joint-by-joint controls, but anyone, not just tradies, would get confused here and frickup if it's a unit like in OP
                since one already spent money on automatisation, there's no reason to waste money on each tradie to have them play videogames, instead it's more profitable to pay extra once to have the controls be only a specification of tasks for task manager, cutting down on number of low-spec meatbags that get injured, get sleepy, get dizzy and shit their surroundings up

        He's not incorrect that unions are crime organizations which often show influence over government regulators. That is counteracted in this case because giant tech companies are also crime organizations who have even more influence.

      ..... the drywall hanging union?

      Seriously though, the huge union presence didn't stop most of the steel and automotive industries from being sent overseas. The taxi and livery unions didn't stop Uber from taking over.
      It's hard to imagine that once they have a functional, affordable, general purpose robot that can effectively do manual tasks like hanging drywall, digging, painting, working concrete etc etc that there won't be a huge wave of them replacing manual laborers.

      You may find that tech companies who stand to make billions of dollars will have more swing with regulators than these unions.

      How would a union stop a corporation from getting new tools? They only negotiate working conditions for humans.

      yes, and part of that is keeping humans employed. and, if the shop doesn't like it, they had best replace those humans soon because now they're all on strike and your parts aren't getting made. strikes are and always will be a nuclear option, and it works every time, because at the end of the day your long-term savings don't make a frick if your shop dies before the robots get here. same for any other business.

        >useless parasites that hold back progress.
        your ~~*progress*~~ means automating shit to an extent where profitability takes precedence over keeping people employed, to the absolute possible extreme. those people are either out of luck or need to learn how to perform setup and upkeep on your automation, and if you have your way you'll automate those people out of a job too. so then what? nothing, they're just fricked and you're a couple pennies richer in the long run once you've recouped your investment in automation and retraining the few humans you still have to employ. you have to realize that at a certain point, companies are required to look out for their employees. a company with no employees is a parasite worse than any union could be.

      In recent history in the USA, the way that large corporations got around seemingly impossible legal hurdles was simply to ignore them or get special dispensations or agreements to allow them to ignore them. This is the way that business is done.
      Look at Uber; in almost every jurisdiction in the nation, having someone drive for Uber breaks a handful of laws from licensing and insurance rules relating to livery/commercial drivers, DOT regulations, etc etc. And the government doesn't fricking care. Uber just pays the right people a few bucks behind the scenes and the insurmountable legal hurdles just disappear.

      It's the same way with self driving vehicles. They won't be suing the programmer (lol, lmao even). The company will simply get a pass

          I know you don't. Because you're as stupid as the luddites crying here. This robot works fined controlled. But if a moron plumber fricks up or lazy electrician is too high then the bot is unable to do its job. Either you make a robot electrician, higher someone to double check thier work or have someone constantly monitor the robots. This will still take more time and that's if it can pay off its price. Hell think about robotic welders and ask yourself why we still have normal welders or how anyone can still work doing fab with robotic fab units. This isn't the job killer you think it is. You'll still see Mexicans working for awhile.

      maybe in 5 years it will be able to do the work with a day or two worth of human setup. maybe in another 5 years after that, it will be able to do more work with less human assistance.

      what you automagays don't get is that ALL automation requires human setup and maintenance. you don't just buy the computerized shit, program it, then let it do its thing. there is constant upkeep and you will always have either an endless n+1 of repair jobs you need to automate or a group of humans doing it. because at the end of the day, if you need something all-purpose with minimal upkeep costs, humans are your best option. you can train them to do a bunch of different shit, you can have them think on the fly, you can have them do pretty much whatever you need them to provided they have mechanical assistance when needed. robots are always specialized and will probably always be specialized somehow, although they are becoming more and more general in scope and usage over time.
