Yes—if anyone reading knows more about manufacturing and could comment on how easy it would be to convert, that would be very helpful.
I also agree it would be interesting to try to do more analysis of how much ASI and robotics could speed up construction of robot factories, by looking at different bottlenecks and how much they could help.
I’m not sure a robot workforce would have a huge effect initially, since there’s already a large pool of human workers (though maybe you get some boost by making everything run 24⁄7). However, at later stages it might become hard to hire enough human workers, while with robots you could keep scaling.
