I think even the trades are on borrowed time looking at the humanoid robots...

I’ll be the first on here to finance one over five years….

TBF mate of mine runs a fab shop and they've just put one in for repetitive stuff.
Says it's ace. Even with setup time it just plugs away ..no fag breaks or phone breaks ...just welds non stop and perfect welds all the time.
Astounding as they ain't the most techy outfit either

but thats just a bot that welds like in a car factory ? its not humanoid that you can give varied tasks to and it wanders off mask in hand to what needs welding

Before speaking doom and gloom and getting depressed remember that life never turns out quite how they predict. In early Victorian England a newspaper article was published about London drowning in horse s**t and being unable to move for it. But then the engine was invented, so it was fine.
I expect the same to happen with a.i. there will always be jobs as it doesn't benefit the wealthy for us not to have money to spend. We just don't know what those jobs will be.

This is exponentially greater- it’s across all sectors. I’d love to share your optimism but I can’t.

My point being is we can't predict the future. We have no idea how it will pan out. I mean there is vast potential for it to go very wrong and plunge us into the stone age, conversely it might all go in the direction of the matrix. The only thing we went know for certain is we don't know what will happen.

interesting fact...yes obviously they may not all happen etc..but so much for net zero lol

There are 140 AI data centres are proposed in the UK right now.
The power they'd need? 50 gigawatts. Our entire national peak demand is 45.

and that is mostly the thing that keeps them as mere proposals

and on the subject of leccy ......

hasn't long gone down from that sort of level .. standing charge is still staying up there at 'their elevated level' - not that long ago the SC was 26p/day
