"Honestly that is it's not that far off. It's not decades away. On the on the long end, I think it's probably 5 years before those things are very common. It's possible that it's as short as three."
A Timcast IRL speaker argues that advances in humanoid robotics are close to commercial mass adoption, predicting robots capable of broadly human-like physical work could become common in “three” to “five” years. The speaker points to progress in robotic hands and claims businesses will adopt rapidly on cost grounds, describing unit prices around $30,000–$50,000 and lower ongoing costs than human labour. They also speculate this could widen inequality between asset owners and workers displaced from physical jobs.
