then you are simply not paying attention. robots are already doing more dirty work than you can imagine and nobody is mentally prepared for the tens of millions of robots that will flood everyday life and our physical world over the next 10 years. Caterpillar alone already has 820+ driverless trucks working in mines right now, and they’ve hauled over 11 billion tons of material without a driver. in oil fields, Nabors’ AI drilling automation runs on 157 rigs across 3 continents and has drilled over 90 million feet. Shell and Phillips 66 send robots to scrape toxic sludge out of their oil tanks so nobody has to climb inside. in the UK, robot dogs are swabbing radioactive rooms at Sellafield, the country’s most hazardous nuclear site. The Ocean Cleanup uses AI cameras and solar-powered robot barges to pull plastic out of rivers and the ocean, with a plan to remove 90% of the plastic floating in the ocean by 2040. and it’s still *extremely* early for robotics. autonomous firefighting helicopters, bricklaying robots, driverless bulldozers, robots that take apart old nuclear reactors, laser weeding robots, sewer-crawling robots, landmine-clearing robots and window-washing robots for skyscrapers are all being built at scale right now. and to top it all off, Tesla is designing a production line in Texas to eventually build 10 million humanoid robots a year which is literally like printing a country the size of the Czech Republic every single year just to do dirty work 24/7.
