    Yes, moving things in a warehouse is exactly the same as laying plumbing and AC ductwork. There’s literally no difference in terms of complications.

      You’re right that robots aren’t going to be able to replace plumbers or electricians in traditional building projects.

      But why can’t we change how new buildings are built so the method better suits robots. I’m sure with current technology we could design a building that could be built entirely by robots.

      I don’t think it’ll happen because it will take a lot of time and money to develop such a holistic system, with no return on profit until it’s a complete system.

      Yes cause technology never gets better than it’s first iteration. There’s literally no progress ever. One and done

        How soon do you think it will be before technology reaches the point that we can build completely functional houses with just robots? Give me a timeframe.

            So robots will totally take over house building and humans will have nothing to do with it at some indefinite point in the future and that’s why people right now should be worried about their jobs. I see.

              Yes, we should be worried about it now.

              It will happen and it will be much better if we can figure out how to handle the masses of unemployed before it is a problem.

              This attitude of kicking the can down the road is exactly how things turn catastrophic.

                When? Why should that make people worried about their jobs now?
