alt Hacker NewsEducation and intellectual work isn't really worth anything if AI succeeds, so keep in mind that anything you're teaching is a hedge against AI stalling or collapsing.
We're moving more slowly on physical robotics in varied environments, so it's going to take a while before we automate reaching under the sink and turning a knob. Or maybe your kids will have a bright future in janitorial work, who knows?

By the time they reach adulthood this aspect of robotics will be solved. I give it about 5 years.

But if AI “succeeds” then everyone that used to hold a job that has now been replaced would flood the blue collar market. I am not so sure that is such a bright future either.

I feel like this is a crazy take. Smart (and motivated) people are better at adapting to a different world than not smart people.
