Re: The Dark Side Of The Singularity
Already happening. In Israel I just heard about an irrigation system, using gray water, that monitors the ground moisture all over the farm. It can detect a single plant that needs water and give it just the right amount. They use a drone to fly over the farm to check all kinds of things. You don't even need a human to operate drones.

Re: The Dark Side Of The Singularity
I disagree. You can program a robot to do just about anything. It is a matter of cost and return right now, but as easier things are done (like painting a new car, this was one that was automated a while ago) the more difficult tasks will be tackled.
Fixing plumbing issues in an already built house is VERY difficult. The unexpected situations found in each home is very difficult for a programmer to anticipate and have the computer/robot figure out. But building a house from scratch is much less so. As noted, they already have machines doing some of that work.
