It's a ridiculous design for a home good. Imagining that thing walking around my house at night is nightmarish -- and it will always be. Sleek is a lot easier to do now than home-friendly so I get their decision though. I'm pretty sure we are going to get screens with AI-generated realistic faces on the robots asap rather than the black hole fairly early.

Yes if we want the AI can bend our environment into ideal shapes. It can be all natural stuff they use and create, structures good for the environment. It all depends what it prioritizes but things like structure for humans is an easy problem for a super intelligence I'd think.

You just have to imagine further, what if it were better, they were smarter, and so on. Due to ecological concerns maybe the only legal construction robots will build shelters with locally sourced materials that are biodegradable and so on, so shelters will resemble those of our ancestors more. Maybe robots will come by and repair things every so often to make up for less structural integrity. Or maybe the construction techniques will just be so much better that the local materials like mud will end up being as strong as concrete. I know it's pie in the sky but for for the implications of a super intelligence we have to just flex our imagination as much as possible since they will be ridiculously 'smart'.

If any theory pivots on world war 3, put that up front. Because I'm not betting on 12% returns or whatever in that case ... world war 3 means game over from this system and marathon watch doomsday preppers.
