Honestly we'll probably get there eventually. There are already AIs capable of making video game footage look realistic, and we can simulate physics in game engines with some degree of accuracy.
There will likely come a point when researchers are able to simulate the physics and graphics accurately enough that they'll be able to train AIs in these simulations and have them work in real life.
Behold! Houses made with 3d printers
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
They can 3d print houses now... And it's only going to get better.
I take it you haven't seen the recent advancements in both robotics and LLM powered agents
If it’s LLM and robotics it better get used to having dick in it
holy fuck thanks for the laugh
I didn’t, mind providing links?
Yep. AutoGen + MemGPT (+Locally hosted models) https://youtu.be/VJ6bK81meu8?si=mGnvMTJsLn_vMvRb
Basically, a small company of self-refining LLM prompts that output meaningful results + a robust memory management for more long-term back and forths. Instead of "one input, one output. Next"
Another example: https://youtu.be/5Zj_zstLLP4?si=nHu4vHwidRmvuViY
I can share more examples and papers if desired.
On the robotics front, the focus is still on training custom models for given actions. Which is having some success: https://youtu.be/Jy3zjXK4ao4?si=yFdqnl8z9Z8Becsc

I'm convinced these "hivemind agents" will pass custom model training soon
LLM haters in 3... 2...
I think there were already projects of this with ChatGPT
Just wait until someone connect chatgpt to one of those gigantic 3d printers that print buildings.
Are we really that far from having “AI” do this?
You can't 3D print laying all the pipe and the electric cabling and adding fixtures and insulation and all sorts of other things homes need.
You can 3D print the basic structure. That's it. You're saving on bricklaying or carpentry.
Still need someone to build it for the computer. What would really help the "AI" is to have something that can handle the creation of different interfaces and modules. Then, it would need to solve or mitigate the maintenance conundrum of repairing itself when it breaks.
Not so much of the physical building, but I bet the designing isn't too big of a stretch. Think something like procedural generation to make 2/3 of a floor plan and have humans make sure it makes sense and add details.
Unfortunately, those building 3D printers are mostly just a publicity stunt currently. Too impractical to use at any sort of scale.
Now, if we were to combine AI with the old Sears kit homes, we might be onto something. Given a standardized list of stuff like room dimensions and the materials required for their construction, AI could probably generate an endless number of variations of both houses and additions for them with an exact list of required construction materials and equipment. Entire series of standardized houses with all the materials prepped ahead of time, ready to just be delivered to a plot of land and constructed on site by a local construction companies, with only minor adjustments required to account for the specific peculiarities of the area. The IKEA of house construction.
Shit tears itself down in 2 weeks
Lmao they are 3D printing houses right now. We're all jobless in the future, bud. Thats a good thing.
No they aren't :/ They can make bricks and 'print' walls, which is really just a cool way of pouring concrete. Hardly printing a house.
Ahhh yes. In capitalism, if you create a machine that can replace say, 10 people, you don't give them 1/10 of the work. You fire them and maybe hire someone to operate it.
Machines and human workers can coexist. They don't have to replace them.
Edit: Of course they should replace them, but only after we get good living conditions for unemployed people, which are currently non-existent.
Yeah, we arent going to get our Jetsons future if we refuse to restructure our society towards not having to work instead of just fighting the tech because its taking our jobs away
I know this probably wasn't op who did this, but I have to ask: who the hell puts a watermark on a meme?
Quite a few well known memers, not the peseants though
I don't even understand the benefit of it. It's not like memeing is a job where you have to protect your intellectual property. Why even do it? Do they think so highly of themselves that they need to "protect" memes that they create? They're randos on the Internet adding captions to images, not V/A professionals...
It also goes against the longstanding spirit of Internet memes, that they are things to by definition be shared, not intellectual property to be bound.
Ironically you could use a Stable Diffusion AI plugin to remove the watermark in GIMP.
Serious question (because I'm a dumbass): why is this ironic?
Where? I can't see it
On chad's helmet
Yep, there will always be room for humans in the suffering industry.
We can 3D print buildings so we're almost there.
Sort of... we can 3D print walls out of specific concrete blends that run nicely through an extended hose system that runs from the mud pump to the print nozzle. But, concrete has a limited time as mud before it starts to harden, so you can only print for so many hours before you have to stop and flush out the pump and hoses before it turns into rock, and the concrete mix can't be too chunky (like including gravel) to flow through the system.
Also, if you get all that right, then you can print walls... but not structural frames that would support a multistory building, or plumbing or electrical wiring or insulation or windows or roofs...
We're a long way from 3D printing a building wholesale.
Inb4 Boston Dynamics rolls out the self-building building.
that dog don't hunt, but it can lift a 2 ton steel beam clear above itself
Ai made this to pretend it's an idiot political nut.
Fuck bro imma be real pissed when robots start doing MY manual labor
Within my lifetime we will see a significant chunk of building site labour be replaced by robots.
Let's not forget this isn't unprecedented - plenty of jobs went away with we introduced the last big technological innovation, heavy machinery, to the building site. Suddenly one guy in a JCB can do the work of 20 guys with spades, etc.
I'm not talking about replacing everyone, not within my lifetime, that's likely silly unless there's a technological leap we can't yet predict.
But the simpler the labour, the more likely it'll go, and not every site job is specialised enough that it can't be replaced by a well trained, well developed AI system in the year 2050 built into a similarly well developed body -which exist today, are already dropping in price due to refinements and ramping up production, and by then will be as competitively priced as the cost of a human.
This is a good thing though, capitalist politics aside. The more jobs we can replace, especially hard on the body, unhealthy, often very dangerous jobs like construction, the better. Assuming we can evolve society away from our capitalist overlords and into a society that works for the people.
Anyhoo, I wouldn't rush to retrain in another sector just yet if you're a brickie, but if you're just getting in to the biz, keep your options open for sure.
If you're a lorry driver and you're young? Spend some of your spare time retraining for a new career now, because while lorry drivers will still be needed in 30 years time before you're set to retire, the vast majority of the work will be automated, and driver jobs will be extremely scarce compared to the large number of workers trying to get them.
Like the coal miners of yesteryear, you don't want to wait until it's far too late to retrain and then complain that your career is ruined. Prepare now.
Best case scenario? Your main job never goes away, but now your skill set is diversified and you've always got options. Worst case? Your main job does, and you luckily can fall back on your alternative options.
They would love to replace the Working Class with an unpaid AI.
The irony being when they replace people with AI, they will live alone, on a doomed planet where there's not even enough of humanity left to avoid extinction.
There they will sit, upon a throne of skulls, in an autonomous world that will outlive them, and only to serve a species that no-longer exists.
As a construction worker, I disagree. Construction sites are so cluttered, so tough to navigate, and there are so many unknown variables. I really think cars driving themselves will happen before construction workers are replaced. And personally I feel we are a long ways away before cars are driving themselves to begin with.
I would argue this clutter and difficulty to navigate is exactly why networked AI would be perfect - don't need the plasterer, sparkie and hammer hand to work around eachother if its the same networked "person".
Have you seen the newest South Park special cuz your post made me think of it. ^^
If you go far enough into history, you'll find people mocking things that fully take over our lives.
Everything from people mocking TV being a passing fad, to the internet, to even cell phones.
It's only ever the mass production that is most affected, individual skills might become less significant but never less useful or less capable of creating artistic works. Sketch artists were "replaced" by photographers, traditional artists were "replaced" by digital artists, AI assisted tools just expands the toolbox of digital artists.
Terminator has entered the chat.
Wow, what a stupid construction company (if they are the ones behind this.) AI will come for manual labor in a way that makes what's happening right now look unimpactful. And what's going on right now is very fucked up.
