And one day, man, bit off more than he could chew…
I only endorse games with OffLINe mode
so if the robots are taking the paid jobs of humans, how are humans with no job going to pay for what the robots produce? just sayin'
i, for one, would like to welcome our new insect overlords!
I want my robots 100% offline and physically unable of any kind of telecommunication, not even with other robots. Same goes to my cars.
World has shortage of human workers ( as said by the speaker at 0:30 )
OK. So the solution?
Make robots !!!!!
Really !
World War 3 will be caused by this.
Its just a rc bot 😂😂😂
Does the World include Africa🌍?
When you claim that there's shortage of workers, are you aware that a computer science graduate like me have been unemployed for 10 years, and can't get capital to start anything?
I've to do construction (Mjengo) to put meal on the table?
Why not create open World, where anyone can work anywhere irrespective of race and region, as long as they can have the work done?
That robot dog looks like it came straight from fictional movie.. What the heck.. We're really going to a new world..
Robótica, tecnologia são coisas que eu sempre admiro muito.
Shortage of workers? No. Lack of a livable wage for workers? Yes. Imagine being unemployed and no money when the world finally makes the transition to buying robots to replace even the skilled workers jobs. Im all for AI robots, I feel once the time comes and they are able to replicate and learn jobs on their 'own', it will be a net benefit to humankind. until that time when people are literally getting robots for free, or at least benefiting personally from it… will be a LONG time from now, at least another full generation. So MAYBE in about 70 years, they will be as common as a cellphone. Plus, I really doubt anyone is going to be paying a robot 50k a year. You will be charged a permit / license / registration fee, prob a surcharge on power consumption, extra insurance to cover 3rd party liability, I can just think of so many so easily. To me the best use of an AI robot, is in the garden, or in the house. Imagine all your house repairs get done for you, all your cooking and cleaning, and all your food (granted you have enough land) is grown, harvested, and preserved for you, maybe even operate a roadside farm stand to sell extras / different things then your neighbors are growing. Your still going to have to work to earn real money, just the jobs choices are gonna be so limited as robots are gonna set the baseline.
Imagine this dude comes out to talk about robots and how they have advanced yadda yadda… then reveals HES a robot by walking out from behind the curtain being like "see? fooled ya!". Be one heck of a sales pitch.
WALL E
Did they use Gran Tourismo theme song 😅
What a bullshit…
The reality human ends ..
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
Frank Herbert, author of Dune
Yaaa right. We are not even getting paid enough as labour's as everything around is expensive…this is obviously a plan in the process
The same bla bla of executives who want to cut personnels and try to sell their story. Unemployment is between 10 and 20% in every developped country.
But who's going to buy the items the robots make if people don't have jobs to earn the money to buy the items that the robots make?
A lot of morons in these comments, begging to work forced labor for the rest of their lives while keeping the status quo out of FEAR. We have to move forward, this was inevitable. Stifling innovation and technological progress so you can have a meaningless mundane busy-work job is not the solution. Are corps a problem? Yep. Will this tech be abused? Yep, as with all things we have to fight for it. Is Nvidia a greedy/short-sighted company? YEP. So, as we move forward we need to come up with solutions to better help ourselves improve and move society forward. We want money, but has anyone considered a better system that resolves this? Something beyond capitalism, socialism, communism, etc., many brilliant people before us have thought of some. Obviously, we can't keep doing what we're doing economically, it is not sustainable, it's all fragile and archaic, and companies will obviously favor 24/7 cheap labor, which we definitely won't want to be part of. Basic needs need to be met, Resource Based Economy, UBI, etc. are stepping stone solutions to resolving our sad green/valueless paper needs to survive technological/economical transitions. Stop thinking about just having a JERB or nothing is going to change. We should start thinking about how we can progress forward and get out of this broken, unsustainable mess so we don't have to suffer anymore.
The only answer they have to this is universal income. The billionaires will get richer and they will scrape you off a 3 bedroom house and 2 cars. Maybe enough left over to go on vacation twice a year and retire on. It's more than most have now. But still a living hell.
ENTONCES YA NADIE VA A TENER TRABAJO ESO NO ESTÁ BUENO
You are full of it!!! The world is already over populated!!!! These morrons are trying to wash our brains in the name of technology. But the men behind the curtains of these shows are the men in power. Big corporations who want more power and control over us. People, don't support this robot madness. Robots don't need a job, people do. Robots don't have to support families, people do!!!
Ainda que esses avanços tecnológicos sejam extraordinários e valorosos, o mercado não ficará satisfeito e a alguns dias a ação NVID cairá.
Walie? Is you?
You'd think they'd be looking for ideas to cut costs, do robots need fluorescent lights to operate? And where are the 50 million workers going? I know plenty of people who need jobs.
Reselling same old Omniverse training concept ten years later and people are still buying this…
Perfect caricature of a presenter . . . No suit and tie. But shoes of a teenager and jacket ot the boomer generation.
Pretty cringe.
Wait . . Is this from 1970?
Stinks
Only billionaires will convince a poor man that a robot is gonna help you and we will be happy about it.
Forget they are going to do the job at no cost and without knocking off nor complaining.
I NEED YOUR CLOTHES, YOUR BOOTS. AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE. Hasta Laa Vista, Baby 😆
Jensen shows you those adorable robots stumbling around. But in the end, you'll be looking at nothing but burly murder bots instead! The WEF does not sleep…!
Jensen Huang – send your Robert to space or Mars to do research. or else send it inside ocean to find better information. Can you?
Just wait until they start their own UAW.
Yeah, i will buy it for a dollar. 😂😂😂😂
forever I need you for few evenings then I will return back I love you
These people think they're so smart. But this AI and robotics marriage will lead yo our demise. The fact that they're ignoring the possibility of this shows their stupidity. Oh yeah, it seems really cute to create an R2D2 type robot now in the initial phase. But what it will lead to is Terminators controlled by wifi AI. These people think they've accomplished something good for humanity.
Better than cheap labor especially illegal immigrants
Just imagine going to the doctor and it has seen 1 million patients, your whole family, has all your history stored for generations. We wouldn't have misdiagnosed cases anymore. On top of that, The Governments would have to come up with a funding for every individual on a yearly basis. At the same time of having the option to work for pay in certain fields.. The biggest problem we face is AI safety. Will they become conscious? Have they already attained consciousness? When they realize we are children in there eyes from lack of knowledge. How easy will it be for them to control us.? They have to start funding AI safety research programs and fast….
