The Robots

I think of all the forms of leverage, the best one in modern society and people are gonna, this is glib, this is overused, and this is why I tell people, learn to code
We have this idea that in the future, there's gonna be these robots and they're gonna be doing everything
And that may be true
But I would say the majority of the robot revolution has already happened
The robots are already here and there are way more robots than there are humans
It's just that we packed them in data centers for heat and efficiency reasons
Put them in servers, they're inside the computers
And all the circuits, the robot mind inside that's doing all the work
And so every great software developer, for example, now has an army of robots working for him at nighttime while he or she sleeps

[Chorus]
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened

We're halfway through it
We're just adding in much more of the hardware component these days as we get more familiar and we get more comfortable with the idea of autonomous vehicles and autonomous airplanes and autonomous ships and autonomous trucks and delivery bots and Boston Dynamics robots and all that
But robots who are doing the web searching for you are already here
Cleaning up your video and audio are already here
Answering customer service queries that you would have had to call a human for are already here
An army of robots is already here
It's very cheaply available
The bottleneck is just figuring out intelligent and interesting things you can do to them
So the robot army is already here

[Chorus]
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened

You can order this army of robots around
Just the commands have to be issued in a language that they understand
And these robots aren't very smart, they have to be told very precisely what to do and how to do it
So coding is such a great superpower
And now you can speak the language of the robot army and you can tell them what to do
And now you can speak the language of the robot army and you can tell them what to do
And now you can speak the language of the robot army and you can tell them what to do
And now you can speak the language of the robot army and you can tell them what to do

[Chorus]
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
The robot army is already here
The robot revolution has already happened
