Literally won’t be happening even remotely close to 10%. Physical impossibility. This is just people manipulating the stock market by lying about “artificial intelligence” so they can pump and dump startup stocks for massive bubble profit.

Every single fucking time. It’s the same script.

Precisely this.

The biggest Achilles' Heel of any robot has always been its inability to understand or adapt to changing conditions, especially if the use cases fall outside standard operating conditions or result in the harm of itself or nearby humans. A Roomba doesn't know it's trying to clean up dog feces and will keep trying until it jams up its entire system and overheats, spreading mashed-up dogshit everywhere. A sprinkler system will continue to try and put out a house surrounded by a wildfire until it has emptied itself of water not knowing the futility of the situation. A commercial airliner will not realize you've manually depressurized the cabin at altitude and will keep flying as the entire flight slowly dies from hypoxia.

Now imagine an entire factory filled with robots like these. They will work beautifully up until the moment something SLIGHTLY unexpected happens with one, then the entire chain fails.

Hell, just look at what happened to Waymo's robotaxis during the recent La Raza insurrection. Without the company manually shutting the cars down, the rioters would have happily depleted Waymo's entire fleet. Because as thoughtfully as the AI might have been designed, its programmers didn't factor anything in regards to situations where groups of outsiders intend on destroying them. They simply locked up and called law enforcement, allowing themselves to be smashed up and burned to nothing. Other taxis were unable to realize they were being called to the same location as one that had ceased communications and followed each other like lemmings.

What this means is that a robotaxi would happily drive you towards an active warzone where the roads might not even exist anymore and an firefight is ongoing, because it cannot use a human level of judgment to know that it probably shouldn't be there.

And that is something a robot will never best a human in.

I wonder if we could ever see crime heat maps like we have traffic heat maps, alerting users to take alternate routes and avoid those areas. We're already close to or surpassed "90s action flick" level crime areas and instead of getting Demolition Man/Robocop level police, they're just nonchalantly fudging the crime stats and redefining what should be considered crime.
