We are unveiling the next generation of humanoid robots—a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications. The new Atlas builds on decades of...

I’m not sure if they could picked a creeper way for it to stand up.

      I’m addressing part of your point. You said:

      Just like pretty much all of the other industrialized machinery that was once touted to save us time and make working irrelevant.

      With the clear implication that industrialized machinery hadn’t saved us time. That’s not the case.

        Since your reading comprehension is terribly broken:

        can’t wait for those things to replace even the last human jobs in factories

        Machinery is used to increase GDP, not to reduce worker time. All your time savings are used for other work instead.

          The stuff I mentioned above is made in factories. It results in cheaper products. That means you don’t have to save up as much money to get that stuff, which means you spend less time working for it.

          How long would you have to work to earn enough to buy a computer if each computer was hand made?

              No, I’m genuinely disagreeing with you. Automation and robotics have dramatically reduced the amount of effort needed to achieve a given standard of living. If you feel like you’re still putting a lot of effort in, you’re likely getting a much higher quality of living than you would have for that amount of effort in the past.
