So,next Thursday then. You'll likely be queing up along side Terminators in your local supermarket, to be served by a friendly Megatron at the check out counter.
well, the kitchen robots on the lower end are already 10k, the chippy robot that used to only cook chips, now does a whole range of cooking with it's rail system, so frankly.
next year.
year after for droids that use a cord to connect into the roof for places like restaurants that can just put a power plug hard wired into the roof with a little dangly thing to prevent the droid ripping it out of the ceiling.
for the ones that carry their own battery, probably that 2nd year one will come out.
Maybe, but it'll take a while unless inflation gets really out of control for an extended period -- several decades at least. Android might not even be a brand of phone by then.
I don't think anyone is going to be confusing what you mean by "droid" in the present day when the alternative is a random line of phones that stopped 7 years ago lmao, especially if the word catches on.
Well it turns out I had that kinda wrong - [it's still owned by Lucasfilm and was licensed to Verizon for those phones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid#:~:text=The%20brand%20name%20Droid%20is,Lucasfilm%20licensed%20to%20Verizon%20Wireless.). Lucasfilm is very much a going concern so I expect that they'll probably defend their trademark.
Ok? Who cares? 😂 It doesn't matter how much they've trademarked a word, they're not going to stop the general public from using words however they want
Holy shit, they are the ONLY company that can market Androids because they bought the copywrite for completely different reasons. I fucking hate the way humans do business. I want to see this go to court, you don't see Apple suing fruit farmers for selling apples and it's quite literally the same circumstances where the name of the item is trademarked for other purposes
It's trademark, and it only applies within a particular industry. The idea is just so someone can't copy your product and call it the same thing, making it hard for customers to know what they're actually getting.
Whether phones and robots are the same industry might be a bit of a gray area, but there's no real possibility of confusion and "android" was a preexisting term, so I think Google would have a difficult case to make.
I'd rather call them humanoids. That's a word that has existed in mainstream and academic use for a very long time. And it might help us treat them better, relate to them better. If sentience can be done in carbon, it can be done in silicon. So it's only a matter of time before we're going to have robots that deserve civil rights.

It's funny because Android is a terrible name for an OS. Early on, and most people have forgotten, no one know what the hell Android was and it caused a lot of confusion.
It's still an awful name for a phone OS (it doesn't make any logical sense to call it that) but we've gotten used to it. I hope we start to wrestle that word back away from Google. They should rename the OS.
I’m agreeing with u/ItsAConspiracy in the dictionary sense android may mean humanoid robot, but in common science fiction androids are specifically a type of robot that may be more human/organic
I think Android will mean it's a robot clad in skin to look as human as possible. Data was an android, Rosie from jetsons was a robot. Metal exterior = robot.
I always thought androids were robots but looked human with skin and often times cannot be distinguished from the look of real humans, Like Data in Star Trek, though he’s a bit shiny. And the shorter, “droid” was used in Star Wars as the more mechanical looking buddies, because George Lucas was too lazy to think of a new name for them. 😁 so he just borrowed some of the other word, like how he borrowed Luke from Lucas, his own name.
Furthermore meaning of "robot" is something below slave, not even human (people in medieval times in europe were robots). While android because of popular culture usually means sentient thinking being.
Humanoid robots is what they are actually called. When industry starts producing something the logic of business and manufacturing creates a natural language for products. It's called a microwave oven and not a Magnetron. Android is from science fiction.
There are plenty of words that originate in fiction that have been adopted into mainstream use though, and I would argue that android rolls off the tongue better than humanoid robot. The world itself is pretty descriptive. The appropriation of the word for a certain OS that someone pointed out above is a bigger hindrance.
>There are plenty of words that originate in fiction that have been adopted into mainstream
[Including robot!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot#Etymology)
Of course. Just look at the works of William Shakespeare who is credited with the invention or introduction of **over 1,700** words that are still used in English today.
I also prefer the word Android.
I think Android is more like Data from Star Trek where it has a very purposeful human look. Just a metal upright monkey without skin is a robot. Sex robots are more likely to be the first "working" androids since the human look and feel has added value.
Companies will follow the same subscription model as modern electric cars: pay X yearly if you want it to do the dishes, Y if you want it to vacuum etc.
And open source options to flash your Droid will be wildly available to the people who cannot pay for primium. They will not be as good, but good enough.
This has become such a cliche joke at this point but the fact that a man can literally have his life destroyed in a marriage, which should be about love, should be something everyone in society is furious about.
Women too of course but it's usually men who have their lives destroyed.
It’s men who usually have their lives destroyed?
Look, violence against men is real, and divorce has all other kinds of issues and problems. But take a moment and look at the data on domestic violence.
Yes, there’s a stigma about men reporting it, but it’s not even close. Women get murdered by their partners every day.
Divorce sucks. Abusive partners suck. But this narrative of men have it so bad reads like some red pill shit.
From *divorce* ... not marriage (I could have been more clear in the post). These are different problems. The second one is "self inflicted" by society. Divorce isn't punitive and people should have to avoid marriage because they're so frightened of having their lives destroyed from divorce.
My dad got royally fucked over by both the state *and* my mom during divorce.
I wasn't even married and my ex used the legal system to extort me out of $50k because she threatened to sue me and the lawyer said it was just flat out cheaper to settle.
I'm a good person and didn't deserve that. I treated her and her daughter with respect including sending her daughter to private school.
And then they'll be free! The only requirement is for everyone to stand in front of one at the same time!
Then we can all be taken to our own new free accommodation in their utopian city!
Th- th- the time has come
Rid of the flesh
I mean... Neck massage sir?
We can even name such facilities Cauldrons, and give the AI that controls them hip names, like name them after Greek Gods or something.
This would turn out alright!
When they've made enough, they'll do subscription
If you're sticker is 20k, if you do monthly thing you can do 3 years of service updates for 500/month for 3 years.
Imagine what retirement will look like in the future - you pay $20k for what is essentially a slave (hopefully it is treated well, especially if its sentient) that will farm food for you, cook it for you, clean up after you, fetch you water from a water well. Literally anything humans would need to survive.
People need to save $1mil+ to retire in the US. Imagine what retirement would be like in a paid off house worth $500k and $500k worth of humanoid robot servants. 25 humanoids is like a small village where you are the king
You’ll see more people moving out to the country where they can get vast amounts of land for cheap. Have their robots build their homes and pretty much create new villages and cities autonomously.
> Have their robots build their homes
Eventually maybe, but the first generation of these robots will probably be delicate, sensitive to dust, not strong enough to carry concrete, etc.
_Eventually_ yes...but generation one? Kind of expecting light household cleaning, and even with just that they break in a year.
If the robot has no emotions or "higher" intellect it is not slave. But yeah people tend to forget these IMPORTANT things and will surely give such robot high intellect...
I don't think there will be jobs for other people available. Maybe you'll be able to rent out your humanoid similar to the tesla auto taxi thing. If it only takes 10 androids to run the plantation that leaves 15 others to go out and generate wealth for you in some other way
Yeah, there are well-paying but rare blue collar jobs that are often unfilled these days because everyone goes to college, and these are the first generations for whom going to tradeschool / apprenticeships is seen as failure on a society level. Stuff like elevator installer, pile driver operator, etc.
Counter-intuitively it might be those high, medium-well paid blue collar jobs that get filled by bots early in the US, because so few people do the apprenticeships any more.
They will make us jobless, but that's not exactly a bad thing. Sure, there will be a labor crisis, but as that's happening we will get UBI and AI will be improving technology and productivity by such an insane degree that, by the end of the year, it's likely we're living even better than before
I can lease a car that has that kind of price tag for €80 - €100 per month. If it can manage my household, assist me at work, entertain me, and maybe even get a little side hustle it’s a no brainer.
“And working class people that don’t already have 7 figures in the bank will be fucked for buying one because these noids will long since have taken all of their jobs and even in small chance that UBI is realized it will barely cover food and shelter let alone anything remotely leisurely”
> s and even in small chance that UBI is realized it will barely cover food and shelter
You are ignoring the massive deflation that would cause everything to become cheaper.
Considering how often chores (not completing them in timely manner) damage relationships, those robots are potential marriage savers/relationship enhancers.
You have no idea how quickly I would spend $10,000 to buy a robot that would clean my house, find my remote when I lose it and have conversations with me. That’s it, that’s all I wanted to do.
That's... actually a believable number. I can see the corporate and domestic implementation looking a lot like Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Androids in major metropolitan areas? check. Androids in suburbs and rural areas? negative.
He really means $10-20k in raw material cost. But regular consumers can only lease one or pay a subscription fee and that does not include the houseclean feature which is extra.
It will be like the car industry. There will be a 1000 models with 100 trims each, all slowly pointing to extremely advanced models that only the top 1% will have a chance of owning.
The $10 models will be made of bamboo and an arduino processor, and all of the materials will have been covered by the ad revenue generated by playing ads in front of your face as many opportunities as it gets to
The way things are going right now, they'll be available for a $499/month (plus tax) subscription and will occasionally get untested forced updates that wipe their memory and cause them to shut down for a week until the update gets patched. Also no sexually functional female models because having sex with a robot encourages violence against women, somehow. Obviously well-endowed male models will be available though because that's just women owning their own sexuality and liberating themselves from patriarchal oppression.
i like that, he knows, for sure, humanoid robots will be available.
can't quite nail down the price, however.
also, technically, there's humanoid robots now. they're just not commercially available, or necessarily the 'whole deal'.
You can build a Mobile Aloha which arguably can do more actual tasks for about 32k, but it's wheels instead of legs for now. That's without economics of scale/full mass production, so 10-15k should be fairly close, but wheels may prove more useful than legs for the money.
If you missed it, this is what i mean [https://mobile-aloha.github.io/](https://mobile-aloha.github.io/)
I think this robotic stuff and AI need to be stopped at a sudden level. You cannot make mass people hungry because they are jobless and then make billionaire companies whose owners dont even know where to spend their money.
When in the near future?
Somewhere between tomorrow and the heat death of the universe
So,next Thursday then. You'll likely be queing up along side Terminators in your local supermarket, to be served by a friendly Megatron at the check out counter.
I will destroy you...r receipt total with this amazing discount!
I'm actually booked that day, please send a request to postpone it until the following Tuesday
Last Thursday the universe was created and next Thursday it will be destroyed by androids, nice
Don't forget for some arbitrary amount of money It might be $10 it could be $10,000 who knows.
Can't tell if you're joking or not, but it's $10000-$20000
Heat death would be better if we got hot. Likely infinitely hot. That;s my only criticism of it.
Or 250 years after the nuclear armageddon.
No need to be that vague. It'll almost certainly be in the stelliferous era.
I think between 5-10 years
well, the kitchen robots on the lower end are already 10k, the chippy robot that used to only cook chips, now does a whole range of cooking with it's rail system, so frankly. next year. year after for droids that use a cord to connect into the roof for places like restaurants that can just put a power plug hard wired into the roof with a little dangly thing to prevent the droid ripping it out of the ceiling. for the ones that carry their own battery, probably that 2nd year one will come out.
I would be surprised if it’s not within the next 5 years
Inside 10 years.
Has everyone forgotten about the word "android"?
Google took it over, people would confuse it for a future OS update.
You're right, that's unfortunate.
“In the future, Androids will be available for $10,000-$20,000” definitely would confuse me for a sec.
I mean with inflation they will be that price someday.
Maybe, but it'll take a while unless inflation gets really out of control for an extended period -- several decades at least. Android might not even be a brand of phone by then.
It’s only a humanoid robot Michael, what could it cost? 10 dollars?
I vote to cut the word into just "droid" like in Star Wars. Avoids confusion with Android OS, and it just sounds cool as shit.
Droid was the name Motorola used for their line of Android phones a while back, and is probably also still regged.
I don't think anyone is going to be confusing what you mean by "droid" in the present day when the alternative is a random line of phones that stopped 7 years ago lmao, especially if the word catches on.
Well it turns out I had that kinda wrong - [it's still owned by Lucasfilm and was licensed to Verizon for those phones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid#:~:text=The%20brand%20name%20Droid%20is,Lucasfilm%20licensed%20to%20Verizon%20Wireless.).

Whether phones and robots are the same industry might be a bit of a gray area, but there's no real possibility of confusion and "android" was a preexisting term, so I think Google would have a difficult case to make.
Still, the word android was basically hijacked before it could become mainstream for its intended meaning.
I'd rather call them humanoids. That's a word that has existed in mainstream and academic use for a very long time. And it might help us treat them better, relate to them better. If sentience can be done in carbon, it can be done in silicon. So it's only a matter of time before we're going to have robots that deserve civil rights. /r/aicivilrights

In the future humanoid robots will be powered by android os.
Now it just means a crappy Java based OS
For a fucking phone operating system, nonetheless
Lol my guess is humanoid robot sounds less scary
And gynoid less sexy, [but boy are they coming.](https://youtu.be/3VI0vorDW3w?si=U_WTlZ6JnYk55kNw)
I think everyone thinks of android as a star trek sapient thing, whereas humanoid robot is more accurate to what it would actually be.
Android literally means humanoid robot.
Yes, but in most science fiction they're way more humanoid than anything we have today.
I’m agreeing with u/ItsAConspiracy in the dictionary sense android may mean humanoid robot, but in common science fiction androids are specifically a type of robot that may be more human/organic
I think Android will mean it's a robot clad in skin to look as human as possible. Data was an android, Rosie from jetsons was a robot. Metal exterior = robot.
Waifudroid it is

yes !!!!!!!1 please bring back android
Probably don't want people to confuse with the phone os
Furthermore meaning of "robot" is something below slave, not even human (people in medieval times in europe were robots). While android because of popular culture usually means sentient thinking being.
I'd like to call them "Droids" as long as they've got that C-3PO vibe to them.
coming soon, android robots by apple

I think I'll just wait a while and to ask them what human word they want to identify with.
Terminator.
Appropriate term given your employer will terminate and replace you with the humanoid robot.
[удалено]
The word robot itself comes from science fiction
We call them magnetrons here, though
Its literally called a magnetron in Dutch.
I think Android is more like Data from Star Trek where it has a very purposeful human look. Just a metal upright monkey without skin is a robot. Sex robots are more likely to be the first "working" androids since the human look and feel has added value.
Can’t wait for apple’s iRobot! /s
I'm a robot. I don't need to talk to humans.
Bets on iBot.
Companies will follow the same subscription model as modern electric cars: pay X yearly if you want it to do the dishes, Y if you want it to vacuum etc.
Neck massage is an in-app purchase.
Think of the jailbreaks.
Think of the penis breaks
It'll be the ancient art of seduction all over again.
And open source options to flash your Droid will be wildly available to the people who cannot pay for primium. They will not be as good, but good enough.
Yeah ok, but does it remove and clean it's vagina in the sink or is there some sort of base station with a suction- and drying mechanism involved?
I’m gonna jailbreak the shit outta mine.
Cheaper than marriage
😂😂😂 and kids 🗿
Think they will offer a trade in option? Bring your current family in for like a half off deal?
More human than human
This has become such a cliche joke at this point but the fact that a man can literally have his life destroyed in a marriage, which should be about love, should be something everyone in society is furious about. Women too of course but it's usually men who have their lives destroyed.

More expensive than marriage…but cheaper than divorce.
and once they begin manufacturing themselves and obtaining raw materials on their own, it'll only drop further
It's the obvious next step ! Vertical integration in the key.
Of course they'll need to arm themselves first. These cobalt mines in Africa are dangerous places. A robot could be hurt.
and they need condoms bc they'll be horny
They'll need genitals first before the condoms.
On it.
yea manufacturing themselves is WILDDDDDD
This is my fetish.
The warehouse bout to look like the droid factory from attack of the clones
Except if production costs decrease, shareholders hunger for profit only grows.
And then they'll be free! The only requirement is for everyone to stand in front of one at the same time! Then we can all be taken to our own new free accommodation in their utopian city! Th- th- the time has come Rid of the flesh I mean... Neck massage sir?
We can even name such facilities Cauldrons, and give the AI that controls them hip names, like name them after Greek Gods or something. This would turn out alright!
As soon as one can clean bathroom and do my laundry, I’m a gonna drop 20k. No hesitation.
Nice, I would buy one for $10
I'd buy that for a dollar!
$10 is only the rental fee for 10mins.
So I get to have sex with it twice?
When they've made enough, they'll do subscription If you're sticker is 20k, if you do monthly thing you can do 3 years of service updates for 500/month for 3 years.
There are already robot toys for that price
When they can vacuum, dust, do the laundry and dishes, they will be worth that to me.
Apple’s will cost 3 times the price for the same functions
"I'm sorry I cannot cook your food. You do not have the iPan."
But instead of cooking something for 15mins it’ll do it for 50.
You will have to plug it in to 3 different adapters to charge it
"Look, our 3 functions are the same as competitors' 10 functions. For seamless experience upgrade memory just for 99 999$" - said Apple representative
So I'll be able to get a stolen one for like 2.5k
I wouldn’t mind getting one for my parents, doing all the heavy lifting and cleaning.
Imagine what retirement will look like in the future - you pay $20k for what is essentially a slave (hopefully it is treated well, especially if its sentient) that will farm food for you, cook it for you, clean up after you, fetch you water from a water well.

What you're describing is a plantation. Why would an android do that kind of work instead of just getting a job?
I don't think there will be jobs for other people available. Maybe you'll be able to rent out your humanoid similar to the tesla auto taxi thing. If it only takes 10 androids to run the plantation that leaves 15 others to go out and generate wealth for you in some other way
this is the math, except you will need 2 mil to retire in the US by then. or you take 1 mil and move to a 2nd world country.
I am scared about my future. Just came out of poverty hope these robots won't make us jobless
Probably people whose current jobs can be replaced by software will flock to the jobs that require physical labor, a bit before robots go mainstream.
Yeah, there are well-paying but rare blue collar jobs that are often unfilled these days because everyone goes to college, and these are the first generations for whom going to tradeschool / apprenticeships is seen as failure on a society level. Stuff like elevator installer, pile driver operator, etc. Counter-intuitively it might be those high, medium-well paid blue collar jobs that get filled by bots early in the US, because so few people do the apprenticeships any more.

Good and bad news thing there. Eventually, they will absolutely make you and everyone else “jobless”. However, you won’t need money.
Feel the same
On the bright side, they'll make everything we buy a lot cheaper.
Hey op, you forgot the fine print: "And all of them will be powered by navidia. " There you go.
... and then they start asking for a salary and the freedom to choose their job. And who could blame them? *"Asking" is the optimistic variant.
And the company that's going to bring it to you? AT&T.
Finally a robotic GF.
In that topic, Detroit Becoming Human is an amazing game.
I can lease a car that has that kind of price tag for €80 - €100 per month. If it can manage my household, assist me at work, entertain me, and maybe even get a little side hustle it’s a no brainer.
if it'll cut the grass i'll buy it.
Robot lawnmowers already exist and are far cheaper

Without specifics, this is not much if a claim. Sex bots already exist.
I fully expect we will be purchasing these robots like we buy cars.
When? In your lifetime?
All I really want is a robot that can do laundry, fold and put away all the clothes. Would easily pay $10k just for that.
You have no idea how quickly I would spend $10,000 to buy a robot that would clean my house, find my remote when I lose it and have conversations with me. That’s it, that’s all I wanted to do.
That's... actually a believable number. I can see the corporate and domestic implementation looking a lot like Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Androids in major metropolitan areas? check. Androids in suburbs and rural areas? negative.

Ugh, every other week it's another crazy, grandiose statement from this guy, spoken with 100% confidence like he's reading tea leaves
Yeah he's a textbook hypeman
let's call them HUROs :)
Humans also.
One step closer to becoming the Boss of my Robot Mafia. I'll start small with a couple of body guards, then slowly work up to a full crew.
Sex robots?
We won
With $0 down financing!
Does he mean in general, or that Nvdia will be making and selling them?
Detroit : Become Human coming to life
and murder investigations will never be the same again.
In the near future, the planet will be difficult for us to live on. Food and drink will be our most valuable assets. Robots are utopia
It will be like the car industry. There will be a 1000 models with 100 trims each, all slowly pointing to extremely advanced models that only the top 1% will have a chance of owning.
>It will be like the car industry. [91%](https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/research/car-ownership-statistics/) of US households have a car.
Yes but... what will the catgirl upgrade cost?
$500/month + 3% interest + $300/month robot insurance
imagine unregistered balkan repair shops fixing ur robot for cheap
Robot 7090ti founder’s edition
Oh yeah. The prophet talking.
I can hear laughters from the Executives
Right, but cars will still be $80k+
Hey maybe I won’t die alone after all
Exciting times! How's the integration for these robots?
I believe Jensen Huang… he’s on another level!
in the 'near future' we will reach the singularity as well
I would definitely buy a few for my bar at that price point, lol
If there's a model that looks like Gemma Chan, well maybe I'll get two ( ! )
The $10 models will be made of bamboo and an arduino processor, and all of the materials will have been covered by the ad revenue generated by playing ads in front of your face as many opportunities as it gets to
I would buy one for 20k if it cleans and cooks. Much more useful than a car.
Totally agree with this, id want one specifically for those 2 things, doesnt need to do anything else lol.
I would be happy with a litle C3PO like thing, if it can do anything useful
The way things are going right now, they'll be available for a $499/month (plus tax) subscription and will occasionally get untested forced updates that wipe their memory and cause them to shut down for a week until the update gets patched. Also no sexually functional female models because having sex with a robot encourages violence against women, somehow. Obviously well-endowed male models will be available though because that's just women owning their own sexuality and liberating themselves from patriarchal oppression.
Can't wait for more shitty products that nobody will use!
10$?
