If we do see a massive increase in demand for Plumbers, this premium will only exist for a finite period of time. Rest of talent will train to become plumbers, increasing the supply of plumbers. Risk of oversaturation. This is what happened for SWE.

If he truly really believed that , he would be in plumbing school. He just doing same ol RockerFeller and Ford and get people educated on what they can exploit them next. He is aligning what hispockets will need : AKA uber for plummers and buildings managers .

The real shift is how AI floods the market with cheap cognitive work while physical precision stays rare. It's like turning blue-collar expertise into the new elite tier.

So machines can build buildings, but not install the plumbing?

Automation could also mean entrepreneurs become freelancers, working on passion projects instead of traditional employment, which is a different kind of freedom.

In an AI world, creativity and know how in the real world will be the new currency. Anything that can be done in software will be replaced by AI.

@grok how long would it take to teach a human to fix 90% of common plumbing issues?

I believe people are overreacting to this. What does AI have to do with plumbing? Will we need more plumbing services? No. If anything, there might be way too many plumbers because AI.

As if robots are still in infancy!! He is an outright duffer! All engineering branches are benefiting from AI, low skill/dexterous jobs are very much on chopping block…

Kalanick's "plumbers as LeBron" thesis in full automation captures scarcity premium on irreplaceable physical labor. Realpolitik of AI: abundance in digital domains amplifies relative value in analog ones.

This is so BS. To be a plumber you don’t have much learning curve. It’s easier than coding to switch jobs. How many plumber do we need?

Stupid take. If out of every 1 million people who lose their jobs because of AI, even just 1% retrain to become plumbers, then it won’t be such a unique and well-paid profession anymore. And it’ll be the same with everything else.

Uber founder Travis Kalanick just inverted the entire automation panic. Everyone assumes AI eliminates human value. The physics say the opposite. Kalanick: “Let’s say the entire world, everything in our world, was automated except for plumbers. You had machines making buildings. You would basically have like a thousand buildings a day.” The algorithm can design a skyscraper in a millisecond. It cannot connect the pipes. When compute violently accelerates the speed of construction, the unautomated human becomes the ultimate bottleneck. And the bottleneck captures all the margin. Kalanick: “How valuable would those plumbers be? Extremely valuable. Those guys, each and every plumber would be like LeBron. Why? Because plumbing is the long pole in the tent to progress.” If the machine needs a human to finalize physical execution, that human doesn’t get replaced. Their economic value goes exponential. Kalanick: “You got so much efficiency everywhere else that you need millions of plumbers.” The market thinks automation drives human wages to zero. The physics dictate it drives the bottleneck’s wages to infinity. The next decade doesn’t belong to whoever out-computes the machine. It belongs to whoever stands at the exact point where the digital engine meets the physical world. Kalanick: “If we get to this place where autonomous cars are everywhere, if it was a thousand to one, you still probably have, I don’t know, 20 million jobs, 50 million jobs.” The panic over job destruction assumes a static volume of output. When output goes infinite, the system demands more human oversight. Not less. Waymo doesn’t delete the human. It shifts them from driver of one vehicle to director of a thousand. Kalanick: “Until we get super AGI, humans are valuable and they are going to become more and more valuable because they will be the long pole in the tent to progress.” You are no longer the engine. You are the grid.
