“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?

Tesla “full self driving” is an illusion that works on idiots.

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.

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 another 37 years lol.

We’re definitely not going to make it.

It tracks because Elon is a modern day snake oil salesman. More people need to realize that.

I kind of hate that people forgot that about him. He literally heiled twice on camera.

It depends on their actual intent. If you expect to have a robot to come in and fold your laundry, use your regular vacuum or your regular mop. It’s probably not going to happen anytime soon.
But if you want to spy in your house to listen to everything you say, watch what you do and track the things you have. They will be on it like stank on shit.
