The market for personal assistants was identified many years ago. The market for personal anything was identified recently.
So, what's the market going to look like robotech wise in the next 10 years? Personal robots? Already identified and developing/delivering. Smarter robots? Same market as above. Probably, broader and more-specialized robotic services. Anyone keeping an eye out for the socially-oriented, counter-balance technologies, such as robot hunters/destroyers and robotic regenerators, space makers, privacy services? Personally, I've been grokking robot hunters/destroyers/regenerators a lot. I think there's a lot of money to be made there, and it seems like a challenge. Anyone else have some interesting 10-year thoughts? ________________________________ From: Matt Mahoney <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 04 May 2021 21:40 To: AGI <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [agi] Colin Hales mention in Salon editorial We do have something close to AGI, namely Alexa, Google, and Siri. The one thing they have in common is they were developed by companies with trillion dollar market caps. I've been on this list since before these products existed. Has anyone here contributed to their development? Has anyone studied how they work? Did anyone even see them coming? You can dismiss them because they don't do X, or are not conscious, or whatever. But these products are useful and continuously improving. Whatever you define as AGI, they are certainly going to reach it before you do. Meanwhile, what have you done? Anyone can have an idea for AGI that is 8 orders of magnitude cheaper because that's your budget. OK, prove it. You have seen my estimates for the hardware, software, and training costs for AGI. We know the algorithms for vision, language, and robotics. The rest is engineering. And yeah, I'm old enough to know how to use vi, although I prefer notepad.
