I'm saying it's foolish to think that any job is safe from this, but especially low skill jobs. That robot can take a
box of clothes, pull them out, decide how to fold them, stack them back in the box and seal it up.

Folding machines require a human to feed them and retrieve the folded product. In other words, a $10-15k folding machine improves productivity for a worker. But a robot like this cuts that person out, and if it can fold as quickly as the video shows now, in 5 years it will be able to fold an article of clothing in the blink of an eye.

The only jobs (ironically) that are truly safe are jobs that involve human interaction (sales, strippers, etc) and creative innovation, and jobs that require extremely nuanced judgement (high level management, etc).

That said, I would lean hard away from investing in AI until this hype deflates. Probably a few years.
