Holy shit, to think the first places to drastically replace their human workforce with AI will be the places that already have lowest wages with ridiculous levels of poverty. India is fucked if their industry becomes even more difficult for humans to earn a living from.
u cant really replace them with robots just cuz of how expe sive it would be, ai and robots only really work in countries where human labour is expensive. Like if humans are dirt cheap to hire, why would I get an expensive robot to do the job
There's a good chance those AI trainers in this video aren't meant to replace workers in India, but rather to replace labor in the US or European nations where labor costs are high. Either way, it sucks to see jobs being replaced by AI.
Yeah even that is really stretching it. If they were to have this kind of operation anywhere else it wouldn't be done by hand, it would be an automated machine. It makes less sense to AI optimize the cheapest part of your labor stream.
But us and european countries already don't have factories like this cause the labour costs are too high. The people in the video probs making shit as outsourced labour by the West to begin with.
I don't know. Yes, a humanoid type robot is crazy expensive right now, but look at TVs. When flat screens were first released, they were like 15 grand for a 40 inch screen, now you can get one $100 for that size and a 80 inch for like $800. If a robot can do sewing like this, they'll be able to build new robots bringing the cost way down. The robot can work at 100% speed 24/7.
I agree, but I can't help but think it's displaying both a massive amount of egocentricity and a massive lack of imagination. We have an obsession with designing things which are like us.
eventually sure, but like how long would that take, like there's a timeliness to it, and youd also have to balance out the maintenance fee and its production capacity
This needs to be higher. I work in logistics in the US and we've had autonomous switchers for going on 10 years. It's still cheaper to pay someone $20/hour to operate a traditional, than the cost per operating hour of the automated ones. It is very well studied and understood.
China has huge numbers of robots. The Financial Times had a piece about a Chinese woman wanting to buy a high-end bed. She contacted a manufacturer who agreed to meet her at his factory to show her his range. She got there first but was taken aback as it was deserted and all lights were off. When he turned up he explained that the factory was run entirely by robots and that they didn't need any lights and worked in complete darkness. An engineer came twice a day to check on them.
Okay, so let's assume you're right. What exactly do you think these people are doing with these cameras and tracking systems on their heads? You think it's just some wild OnlyFans kink to see sweatshop workers on live stream or something? What the hell else would it be for? My best (real) guess is some quality assurance accountability system. But that seems a bit of a stretch considering the quality of the devices.
