I did this yesterday, then I hooked up whisper as well so I could give it voice commands, and then I used gTTS to get a really nice voice for the robot. I'm going to try MozillaTTS as well.
It's all a few hundred lines, fun to write. I had chatGPT try to write most of it.
It's at least as useful as chatGPT. I'm going to work on giving it appendages--ways to execute commands from a limited set.
Going to be a ton of disruption as labor is collectively devalued further by the deflationary forces known as technological advances.
The fear here is that capital replaces labour, leading to the value of labour dropping to zero and the value of capital and land increasing alone.
But is labour being replaced, or augmented as it always is by capital? Industrialisation augmented labour more efficiently, but the value of labour has still increased in real terms and has not dropped to zero.
That said, I would invest in capital and land now and not in labour.
But it turns out there are many unimaginable but better ways humans can contribute to our collective success than by banging hot metal into the same shape again and again in a post industrial economy.
