A study found robots can do three quarters of physical job tasks. Aki: and cheaper? Lord Ozen: cheaper tomorrow, the age of machines dawns now! Old Tane: robot prices fall 3% a year, and have since the nineties. Aki: 0.3%. Forty years.

By an Anthropic study, robots can already do about three-quarters of physical job tasks in the US, but they are cheaper than a human for only 0.3% of work, and at the roughly 3% a year that robot prices have fallen since the 1990s it would take about 40 years for that to reach 10%.
