Of what benefit is this mechanical thing? What are we envisioning it doing other than costing less than having humans do something and thus worsening unemployment?
"Worsening unemployment". How myopic. This will save man from being forced into living lives of endless drudgery to which he is presently ensnared by the economics of scarcity.
How does it do so? Does it provide them with education and then buy their services? In a non-capitalist society, my response would be different, but there are precious few that even approach such a thing.
"It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism" why do you think capitalism will still be in place when it fundamentally doesn't make sense anymore due to the ASI-enabled advent of Clarktech like the Drexler Molecular Assembler? I do not think you're fully cognizant of where this tech will be taking us. Nobel Prize winning scientists are predicting AI capable of enabling centuries worth of scientific progress in only a decade's worth of time in the next 2-3 years.
First, those predictions are absurd. Chat bots aren't getting dramatically better, they're taking more and more energy to achieve incremental improvements, and their fundamental method of operation isn't changing.
Second, human nature hasn't changed. Capitalism already doesn't make sense, but we still have it, because people are selfish and want to have resources and power to themselves and to deprive others of it.
That's just demonstrably false. LLM do scale, have continued to scale, and will continue to scale. Literally all benchmarks show rapid improvement included ones that measure AIs ability to create new science such as SWEBench or FrontierMath Bench. Soon, there will AIs capable of recursively self improving their own improvement. That inflection point moment will be the singularity.

Videos that end too soon. Thought it was gonna go on a rampage of mega proportions!

Quit watching movies, where writers have no fucking clue how AI/Robot work.

It's a combination of two factors.
First, those predictions are absurd. Chat bots aren't getting dramatically better, they're taking more and more energy to achieve incremental improvements, and their fundamental method of operation isn't changing.
Second, human nature hasn't changed. Capitalism already doesn't make sense, but we still have it, because people are selfish and want to have resources and power to themselves and to deprive others of it.
