US students build robot that solves puzzle cubes faster than you can blink your eyes

A group of USA students have built a robot that can solve a puzzle cube in just 0.103 seconds.

Talented students to build that, and the bot just takes care of it. Pretty amazing.

Still more amazed at the people that can solve that thing in a matter of seconds.
Never did get it myself. But haven't touched one since a kid. I did figure out how to solve Rubik's linking rings puzzle though.

Jesus. These things are gonna put everyone out of a job.

Not for these kids that are learning how to build and control/program/manipulate them

Actually the first people AI has started putting out of jobs are exactly the software engineers.

Even that. Actually the first people AI started putting out of jobs were exactly the software programmers.

There’s a difference in the developers that write typical coding and the developers that do embedded software engineering and development that works with the AI chips and hardware.

The type that know how to do the engineering are already in short supply.

These are not computer science students - these are electrical and computer engineering students. The two things are not the same.

What’s to keep that from going AI too soon?

Heck these things are doing complex surgery from opening skin incision to skin closure now. Just amazing. And scary.

If they can do complex surgery, they can do engineering.

Eventually every job will be able to be performed by robots if the timeline is long enough

Yep- that’s what I’m worried about. And the timeline doesn’t even look like it’s gonna be all that long either.

I suspect it’s going to shake up society big time- maybe even more than the Industrial Revolution.
