  People can do this job, and better, and cheaper. Anyone who can afford something like this, and I think well into the future, can easily afford a house cleaning service, or even a staff maid.

    I’m with you 100% from the privacy and cybersecurity perspectives. That said, if they can be solved (e.g. at some point there will simply be no need for any more training data, and computers will be fast enough to do all the fancy stuff locally), I’d vastly prefer having an appliance do my housekeeping chores than a cleaning service.

    They will become cheaper over time. In the future buying robots like these could be like buying a new car i.e. expensive but still reachable for most and for others they might be able to buy used ones.

      But who will need one in the future? If we don’t have houses to clean or many clothes to fold due to being poor neo-feudal serfs.

  They should put “arrives” in quotes, not Jetsons.

  If you can’t buy this or even see it operating, it hasn’t arrived anywhere. Just more “home robots are really here this time guys, really i mean it this time, really. Give us billions and you’ll get one, for real.”

  (referring to the embedded YouTube video) There’s something about the humanoid form that hacks my brain. It just feels cruel to not also invite the robot to the table too

  I see this being useful for senior/assisted living care. This isn’t a job many people want to do, doesn’t pay well, and requires ungodly amounts of patience
