The challenge is not will robots fix toilets but will the economics support it if we end up with most of the world unemployed and without careers. Yes of course we can hand wave basic income and government intervention but reading the room (e.g. last 70+ years of US labor and capital trends) it’s not the most likely outcome, even if it is the most game theory optimal for all.

Realistically the outcome of highly capable advanced AI is an economic dark age more than anything else.

> Why are meta glasses such a big deal? Because they need training data for manual labor.

Meta glasses are a terrible example for the case you're making a point about: 90+% of whatever video they'll capture will be trash data.

It'd be much more efficient to set up dedicated sites just for producing the very same training data you're claiming they harvest.

Unlike code, with a toilet it can be very unpleasant and/or expensive if AI gets it wrong three times before fixing it correctly.

Why would you pay for a robot to do it when you could just hire one of the 20 million new plumbers (ex-developers, high school graduates, etc.) who just retrained and entered the field?
