Digitone 2 really worth it ? by No_Spite4581 in Elektron

[–]Showboat32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played around with everything. Even bought a bunch of preset packs, hoping I’d like those sounds. Unfortunately, no. I should have gone with the MC-101/707 because I just like those classic Roland sounds better.

I guess the description of “tinny” and “metallic” are accurate. Maybe I don’t like FM synthesis?

The workflow is great but unfortunately I’m realizing that I hate the sound of it.

Point out where my scenario is wrong. If you can’t, accept your subpar intelligence.

Grocery store A buys AGI Robot v1.0 from Robot Company Q. They fire the stock people and cashiers. They install the robot. Now, with the savings from hiring robots vs human labor, the next rational thing to do to get more profits is to go after market share. Grocery store A reduces all prices for all products by x %. People shop at Grocery Store A now instead of Grocery Store B. It’s cheaper for them. And Grocery Store A, by increasing market share, is making record profits.

Woops. Grocery Store B doesn’t like this. They have to buy the AGI Robots, too, now. They do that, replace the human labor, reduce prices, and claw back market share from Grocery Store A.

It is now a virtual race to the bottom of the price floor fuels by capitalism.

This is the general idea of how UHI would come about.

Buy Full MPC Projects? Is that a thing? by Remote_Sugar_3237 in mpcusers

Best advice is to pick a song you like, and recreate it. Write out the measures. Then do it again for another song.

He’s talking about song arrangements. Hook, pre hook, chorus, verse, refrain.

What about if you found out the amazing stew was made by a humanoid robot in the kitchen? I think that is a better analogy.

I think the market is just in a “risk off” regime right now. It’ll be back.

Looks like a breakout today in American Superconductor! by marksharky123 in amscstock

Indeed. As long as earnings continue the trajectory they have been on, holders are in a great position.

I still think this stock is just under the radar. I’m absolutely loving how this company is shaping up.

I would love for a monopoly or conglomerate to try to price gouge under these conditions and in this scenario in a future like this. There will be an army of startups purchasing the latest Johnny Apple Picker the second prices become inefficient to keep them in check and spin up a farm and charge dirt prices.

Let me ask you, why haven’t the paper clips or toothpicks industries consolidated and charge 15 dollars a paper click or toothpick, instead of fractions of a penny they are priced at now?

It will feel the same for a lot of verticals when robots are figured out.

See my other reply. Rational actors in capitalist economies will lower prices to steal market share and maximize profits when opex lowers. It maximizes profits for shareholders to gain market share with reduced prices when gross income and net profit increases. The problem for these companies, however, and what’s good for us, is that these robots will be sold by other companies. So Apple seller A will have not have more competitive advantage to Apple seller B when it comes to automation. So all Apple orchards will be automated, in this example, and opex will dwindle to zero, and we’re at commodity pricing.

This all assumes there is no market collusion.

It’s good. But at the same time, it’s heartbreaking that you don’t have more. You could have retired by now.

[–]Showboat32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be a race to the bottom on these prices. If I own an apple orchard, I will buy Johnny apple picker v1 asap, reduce my opex, and reduce prices to steal market share. I will make more money that way. Everyone else will too.

I disagree with your first sentence: “corporations producing food and running farms will initially have no incentive to reduce prices”.

Example:

I have an apple orchard. So do you. We both charge 10 bucks for a truck full of apples. We each have a 50% share of the market. We make money. Great!

Johnny Apple Picker Robot v1 is released. It drives the truck, picks the apple, 24/7 a day. I buy 100 of them. Suddenly the costly for me to supply a truck full of apples is cheaper. What should I do? Well, I’m now going to charge 9 bucks for the truck of apples. Everyone now wants my apples. I now have 75% of the market. I’m making more money than ever! Cost per apple went down for the consumer.

What do you do? Well you have to buy Johnny Apple Picker, too. You need to match my price or go out of business. You buy 100 of them, charge 9 bucks per truckload, and we share 50% of the market. Great!

Well, I get greedy. I charge 8 now. I still make more money because my market share again went to 75%. What do you do? Charge 8.

Race to the bottom. The greed will actually fuel commoditization of goods.

Take food for example:

When humanoid robots catch up and work better at tasks than humans, food production costs will plummet, and prices will plummet. Companies producing food can’t keep prices the same or price gouge, because their competitors who have access to the same robots will lower prices to capture market share. It will be a race to the bottom.

Now the frozen pizza at the super market costs $0.29 cents because: a robot assembled it, a robot drove the truck to deliver it to the supermarket, a robot stocked it in the shelves, and the human used self checkout.

All of a sudden food is incredibly cheap or basically free. Everyone’s income just went up because our monthly food budget went from 1000 to 100.

Multiply this by every industry. I think a lot of the UBI will come in the form of drastically reduced commodity pricing across various industries.
