Aww, but I want a humanoid robot as a catchall assassin
No shit
“If the big tech companies and the VCs throwing their money at large-scale humanoid training spent only 20% as much but gave it all to university researchers I tend to think they would get closer to their goals more quickly,” Brooks said.
To be clear, he’s not saying the goal is unachievable. He’s just saying they’re going at it in the dumbest way possible.
I mean, duh. How else would they go at it?
It tracks because Elon is a modern day snake oil salesman. More people need to realize that.
And a nazi
They need to know that too
I kind of hate that people forgot that about him. He literally heiled twice on camera.
And went out of his way to support the German AFD party
Sendex is like the goto guy for lots of older AI stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfzlCWGWYyIQ0aLC5w48gBQHe quit posting regularly around a year ago, but wrote the book on building models from scratch. He has one of the Chinese humanoid robots… The level of software needed to make that thing do anything useful is a giant ask. We’re a long way away from Daneel and Dors, or Herbie for that matter. I only mention it because this is a no nonsense guy messing around on his own and making no attempts to market or up sell. IIRC he spent around $60k for his and it was like the minimum working option someone could buy from the USA. Still I never thought I would see someone like this with a humanoid robot. While obviously he has money and all, he seems like a down to earth normal dude.
Thx for sharing the video
First no flying cars now this, the Jetsons really set me up for disappointment.
There’s still 37 years until the time of The Jetsons! Lots of time for all that yet.
Ah somehow I thought we had passed that time, granted its been probably 40 years since I’ve seen the cartoon. I don’t think I’ll make it 37 more years lol. But then as HST says, too weird to live, too rare to die.
We’re definitely not going to make it.
We won’t have the surface of the earth trashed so badly we have to live above it and since there’s no longer wildlife have to consume everything in pill form? To get our calories and nutrition?
Make it, as in, be alive by then?
Well no, you can buy flying cars, certified and everything. They’re just not as great or as cheap as you hope they would be. Pal-V is a car that transforms into a gyro copter, still needs a runway, and goes for somewhere between 400k and 600k.
Tesla “full self driving” is an illusion that works on idiots.
