As a 4 generation family pool remodeling company I completely agree. You can’t google what we know and every job is different.

There's a reason they kick you off a jobsite if you're drunk. In the trades, ten unskilled hands do not replace one skilled hand. Robots are not only unskilled, but move like they are drunk.

Yes. The only realistic way I can see residential blue collar work being automated is if houses are built specifically to be serviced by robots in the future. As it stands, there is no planet where a robot could service existing homes.

We're 10+ years into robotic vacuum cleaners and they still suck, but in two days from now were going to send a robot to fix the plumbing of your house 👌

Lol AI will not be able take over my "crew-collar" job until we literally live better than the Jetsons.

Not in old (beautiful) housing stock. Maybe new builds on mars if that’s what we’re aiming for.

You think those robots can drink 6-8 beers after work? Doubt it.

Was at a restaurant yesterday, first time I have had a robot deliver food unaccompanied by a human.

True that.

Robots won't have an impact anytime soon, but AI will. Anytime something breaks you just feed it into your choice of LLM... it can be diagnosed very easily(and damn accurately from my experience), look at pictures and help you avoid calling a costly repair person.

True. You can break down hard jobs into smaller, easy tasks and those can and will get replaced quicker. Block by block. I’m just curious how fast it’ll go… since honestly, nobody has a fucking clue.

Meanwhile my passion for assisting language learners has me contemplating how I can make my service indispensable and somehow preferable to AI. So far so good, but for 'how long?' I wonder. I'm currently working on diversifying my skill set, just in case.

Machines have been 'replacing' (augmenting) human labor for hundreds of years (eg windmills) and will continue to 'replace' human labor over the next several hundred years

Agree.

I think you're already seeing it with Helix Robots in BMW factories. Repetitive tasks, that don't require ingenuity, can be replaced quicker than for example that robot doing tasks in the house. Primarily cause of the controlled setting. Jobs on factory floors that require managing and using a div...

🎯 Robots are already doing the hard parts. (Back hoes, etc) We're decades (if ever) away from the human elements being replaced.

Ever seen an electrician do basic jobs? What do you think? We are just gonna jump from 0 to building data centers with robots? Baby steps. Put your eyes on the Chinese. It will start there first.

As a wood boi: Cnc can only do the most basic shit. Yr telling me i need a $100k machine and a $80k/yr specialist employee to do what a $70k/yr guy can do alone? That dont math

I think vast groups of people are still very disconnected from vast groups of other people.

As a construction consultant I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I’m trying to find ideas to make my job sites as automated as possible. From the work side, but also the client reporting side. I’m also trying to replace people that have jobs that a person probably shouldn’t do long term for...

AI will also not replace the office work nearly as fast as has been hyped.

LOL , nothing but sellers of fear! All floss and BS!

Currently anything out now or even down the pipeline won't replace blue collar work. We get looked at at expendable but couldn't be further from the truth

This. And Most people who replace or worry about robots replacing jobs don’t actually understand how things work.

Seems to me that AI is replacing white collar faster than robots are replacing blue collar.

I just hope to have a functional and reliable companion during my old age

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars. With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food. We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper. Because we sell quality...

And those people seem to focus more on the disruption when they could be emphasizing the importance of learning how to use these tools. There is no turning back. And more than ever, people need to adapt by being proactive and understanding how these tools can and will be an integral part of everythi...

HVAC REPAIRMAN IS ALWAYS NEEDED, A ROBOT CANT REPLACE US

regardless, humans are being pushed to the edge cases of even skilled work. And the ancillary roles are cooked with ai (estimator, project manager, quant surveyor). I would ofc heavily discount a total displacement of skilled labour, but you might be surprised how much manual work will be saturate...

I manage multiple concrete crews and I guarantee these are the LAST jobs getting replaced by robots and AI… 🤣

All I've seen robots do is dance Which is barely interacting with the real world

How are you my friend I am from Yemen and we suffer from wars and problems and my financial situation is very difficult can you help me buy food for my family to eat humanitarian service
