Users dismissed Elon Musk's prediction that AI and robots will deliver universal high income as unrealistic sci-fi, dystopian welfare, or naive boosterism.

"Anything that involves information, anything short of shaping atoms, AI can do 50% of all those jobs right now"
- Elon Musk
He says white-collar work goes first because it only manipulates information, not atoms. If a job is basically typing, clicking, researching, writing, analyzing or teaching on a screen, AI can do it.
The shift will lag due to inertia, but competition will force faster adoption when AI-heavy firms outperform AI-light firms.
And then humanoid robots will take most blue-collar jobs. Once machines can “shape atoms,” robots will do physical work in factories, logistics, maintenance, construction, and even run data centers.
He expects far more humanoid robots than humans, initially scarce then plentiful, with the main bottlenecks being power, cooling, and materials, not software.

@rohanpaul_ai high income for whom?

@rohanpaul_ai The work can be optional in some categories, the pressure can be lifted for some people. But there is always be some work for people who invest his time badly in it.

@rohanpaul_ai Have u gotten the robots to stop punching out ppl yet, or is that in the next release?

@rohanpaul_ai It’s not high income if everyone universally has it. It’s average income.

@rohanpaul_ai 'AI + Robots will result in universal high income.' Tech has been promising to eliminate work since automated looms. Pretty sure we're still waiting on that last part.

@rohanpaul_ai lol the catch

@rohanpaul_ai Universal high welfare

@dh_rsh 💯

@rohanpaul_ai You are one of the most naive AI boosters out there

@rohanpaul_ai Put the kool aid down

@rohanpaul_ai He also said we'll all stay in penthouses

@amazedcoder @rohanpaul_ai He always handwaves at UBI, usually without calling it UBI. Presumably, the owners of the robots will take pity on the jobless peasants and throw handfuls of peanuts on the ground. In his vision, we exist and consume, they enjoy lives of luxury. Like The Matrix but no aliens.

@rohanpaul_ai Got a date on that?

@rohanpaul_ai so elon thinks robots will fix power and cooling. cute. meanwhile the actual demand for something beyond this info-shuffling shit is still unmeaured. where's the infra for that

@rohanpaul_ai This is fucking absurd. Can we talk about what AI is today not some sci-fi fairy tale for once?
