71: We Are Programmed Just to Do Anything You Want Us To

The End of the World with Michael and Stu

This week we are talking about robots. Where did they come from? What are they? Are they really going to replace all human workers? We get into the history of these machines, while looking at the implications for them, should they be paired with AI. We also discuss Elon Musk's fixation on humanoid robots, and where this obsession derives from.

We also get into the Ukrainian drone attacks in Russia, as well as discussing the recently aired claim that up to twenty percent of white collar jobs could be eliminated by AI in the next few years, and how absolutely zero safety net has been put in place to assure that people will be able to earn a living when this happens. Uplifting material!

This episode contains spoilers for the history of robots.
