Watched a machine automatically remove locking cones from containers with almost no human involvement. As a Longshoreman, I see both efficiency and the impact on jobs. Automation is here—are we ready? #Automation #AI #FutureOfWork #Technology #Longshoreman

Some uses of AI remind me why technology matters. After years of seeing automation focus on speed and cost, this is the kind of progress that stands out. China is now using AI-powered robots inside grain warehouses, places so dangerous that workers can sink into loose grain like quicksand or suffocate in dust explosions. These robots map, navigate, and level the grain autonomously, while humans stay safely behind monitors. It is a quiet revolution. Not about efficiency or profit, but about dignity and safety. This is the kind of automation I deeply believe in, where technology protects people before it replaces them. If AI should remove humans from danger first, which industry should it transform next? #AI #Automation #Robotics #ArtificialIntelligence #TechForGood #Innovation #FutureOfWork

I figure we've got about 7 years left until the vast majority of human jobs today are gone. The automation cliff represents a stark departure from how we typically think about automation happening gradually. Rather than a steady staircase of incremental improvements where humans slowly hand over control to machines, we're heading toward a precipitous drop where entire industries and job categories will transition from human to automated control virtually overnight. This cliff is becoming possible because of two key developments: humanoid robots that can seamlessly replace humans in physical tasks, and AI agents that can take over knowledge work through standard computer interfaces. Unlike previous waves of automation that required custom infrastructure and careful human oversight, these technologies are "drop-in" solutions - they can simply step into existing human roles and take over completely. The transformative power comes from eliminating the need for human involvement entirely. Partial automation often performs worse than either full human control or full automation, since managing the handoffs between human and machine creates new problems and cognitive burden. We've already seen this with systems like pharmaceutical manufacturing and agricultural harvesting, where removing humans from the loop actually improved performance dramatically. While technical complexity and economics have historically prevented this kind of complete automation, advanced AI and robotics are rapidly eliminating these barriers. Once these systems exceed human capabilities in strength, dexterity, and intelligence - which is already beginning to happen - we'll see wholesale replacement of human labor across industries, potentially within the next 5-7 years. This isn't the gradual automation story we've been telling ourselves. A cliff is coming, and we need to be ready for the profound economic and social changes it will bring.

This thing is a beast! This is what a 26-axis CNC wire forming machine from Japan looks like. So much automation and flexibility to manufacture almost anything you want out of wires. Maybe one day we can develop such machines here.

We asked Joel Hron (CTO Thomson Reuters) about AI's impact across industries: "Industries are not exactly eager to adopt AI." "For the last two, two and a half years, the legal industry has been on fire with AI." "More progress is being made in industries like tax. It's delivering true automation and productivity." "These industries (like tax) are workflow heavy and as agents have taken off it's really opened the door to true automation and productivity."

On this week's Training Data, I served as a guest host for a great conversation with Kareem Amin, founder of Clay AI, a go-to-market creative tool revolutionizing how teams approach sales and marketing through AI. We explored the delicate balance between automation and human creativity, diving into what AI can (and, importantly, cannot) do in modern sales, the company’s technology approach, and Kareem’s unique company-building philosophy.

"THE AUTOMATION SITUATION" - Lesson 1 Everyone's worried about automation & AI taking their jobs - time to get educated on the matter! In this satirical 1930s-style educational film, which blends archival footage with cutting-edge AI tools, you'll learn how to prepare for the impending wave of automation. Follow along as young Billy masters the "Singing Machine," so that you, too, can aspire to become a successful online "creator". The process involved a whole bunch of tools—too many to list here—along with a lot of digging through archives, silly editing, whacky voice acting, and approximate lip-syncing. And remember: you're only as indispensable as the robot waiting to take your job. Stay useful out there!

Here is a longer highlight clip out of my full length video today where I have a detailed discussion about Automation Bias, and how we look at and mitigate this very human behavior in commercial and military aviation. I am highlighting this clip as a PSA to take the supervising of FSD seriously. Tesla AI

US Port Worker Shows You What They’re Fighting Against with The Port Strike “I'm a longshoreman for LA Long Beach. And ILA is fighting against this right here. I'll tell you right now, see that? There's nobody there. Automation (see video) — It's no joke. Losing thousands of jobs, you got all these machines. Look it, all these machines right here, there's no people. They ain't paying no taxes, they ain't paying no money. This is what ILA is fighting about. This all used to be filled with top handlers, UTR drivers, clerks, all this yard. Look how big this yard is and there ain't hardly any people on this thing. This is what they're fighting about. I work at an automated dock right here, Port of LA, Long Beach. Keep fighting, brothers, keep fighting” (Video shows the automated robots replacing workers)

Excited to announce that Sola has raised a $17.5M Series A led by a16z with support from Conviction Y Combinator, bringing total funding to $21M 🚀 From the start, we set out to reimagine human-AI interaction to push the boundaries of process automation. Our agents watch how people do tasks on-screen, then handle those tasks automatically, even in legacy tools.

This is real time. You can see how stable the motion is. A system placing droplets between 1 nanoliter and 1 microliter inside a 96 well plate with almost perfect repeatability. No shake. No drift. No overshoot. The robot keeps the tip on track even at this scale where tiny vibrations normally ruin the result. Why this matters: •In wet lab automation, volume accuracy is everything •Nano scale tasks fail fast if the robot is even slightly off •Reliable deposition unlocks fast screening and repeatable experiments •You can run full workflows without manual checking or correction This is the kind of precision that turns lab robots from “helpful tool” into a full automation pipeline.

This technology will come to America and start mass eliminating jobs This is the fully autonomous humanoid robot-operated coffee shop in China There is no human staff on-site. Fully “no remote control, full autonomy” using their proprietary embodied AI models There are huge expansion plans, 20+ locations across 7+ cities within months, with plans for 100+ nationwide within a year There are major cost savings for these businesses, Minimal labor requirements and it can run 24 hours a day .A cup of coffee is often priced as low as ~9.9 yuan or about $1.40 Full automation is going to basically eliminate entry labels jobs at fast food and coffee shops

This week's Hermes Agent Masterclass is all about cron jobs and automation! There are a lot of great nuggets in this one, especially on how to set up cheap (or free) automation pipelines. In this clip I use wakeAgent, a way to monitor at no cost, but only use the LLM when needed! Check out the full video on YouTube for more tips!
