Most of you guys have deep and practical experience with robotics and robots, for me anything that a robot is demonstrating by doing is a magic and scary thing...now I am having mild paranoia due all these progress in LLM and now these activities done by robots...What future might roll in front of us? What are your opinions on that?

This will become increasingly normal, but it’ll take a while before massive impact (ie taking your and your friends’ jobs). I’m not sure of the timeline. Humans are slow to adapt, but in 20-30 years I think the pace will pick up.

I’m not too worried about the current generation, but my kids. Don’t know what to tell them TBH.

I guess it’ll all be fine though. We techies tend to have a paranoid streak which isn’t becoming.

Star Wars ?

Star Wars is set in the distant past, not the future.

That assumes "A long time ago" is relative to Earth 1977, vs to the narrator who may live in a far-away galaxy
