I can see a lot of jobs in first world countries being replaced by these. I wonder if third world countries and China are safe for now, because labor are cheaper there.

They are going to be hit too, and quickly. Whatever the cost of labor, Chinese firms can still save with robots. I saw a video that claimed BYD is already using humanoid robots in one of hits auto plants. I have no idea if this is true but, no matter what the cost of labor, it is not as cheap as robots.
I guess for specialized labor, they still need to train those people. And not just anybody can be used.
What makes this scary, from a jobs perspective, is the pace of these training models these days. If a task can be learned by watching 50 videos or going through it 50 times, that is a game changer.
Think of how that would scale.
Yeah. The bottleneck would be on just how fast they can create these robots.
