Is AGI even important? I believe the next 10 to 15 years will be Assisted Intelligence. There are things that current LLM are so poor I dont believe a 100x increase in pref / watt is going to make much difference. But it is going to be good enough there wont be an AI Winter. Since current AI has already reached escape velocity and actually increase productivity in many areas.

The most intriguing part is if Humanoid factory worker programming will be made 1000 to 10,000x more cost effective with LLM. Effectively ending all human production. I know this is a sensitive topic but I dont think we are far off. And I often wonder if this is what the current administration has in sight. ( Likely Not )

I am thinking of designing machines to be used in a flexible manufacturing system and none of them will be humanoid robots. Humanoid robots suck for manufacturing. They're walking on a flat floor so what the heck do they need legs for? To fall over?

The entire point of the original assembly line was to keep humans standing in the same spot instead of wasting time walking.
