Listen "A Robotically-Enabled Abundant Future"
Episode Synopsis
Today's "Top of Mind" discusses our abundant future. This is a topic Vinod Khosla spoke about that I've also been thinking about a lot. In today's world in developed countries, most of us do not need to worry about raising our own food. Yet in the late 1700's over 76% of society worked in agriculture. AI and robotics are going to eliminate much of the work we do every day. I also discuss Amazon's step function jump with their reported 25% productivity and 25% speed improvement at their new SHV1 facility. This is a massive jump. I suspect Amazon is not that many years away from fully automating receiving, stowing, picking, packing and shipping your items... and then delivering it to you by drone. Imagine a future where no human every touches an item you order? That future is coming sooner than we realize.(Recorded in March, 2025)Newsletter
