Quorn are bigger and better I think.

Yes. So many of these threads read like Elon is stupid for trying to put humanoid robots in a factory from 1945 when he could just use a robotic arm or specialised machinery.
No, robotic arms and specialised machinery have replaced most labour, at least when compared to total output, already. If they didn’t do that they would have been shutdown a long time ago for lack of productivity and high costs. It’s not 1945 anymore, factories have spent 80 years trying to replace workers and humanoid robots and AI might (eventually) be the final piece.

It seems to me we agree on everything except scale.
You don’t see humanoid robots being good enough and cheap enough to replace humans in any job. I do. I think it will start slow and progress overtime. Same how robotic arms started slow and then reaching more factories and more types of work.
The price people are saying these robots will cost is way less that what it costs to keep humans around.
The reason a humanoid robot will be used over a robotic arm is the same reason humans are used over a robotic arm that’s flexibility. The reason a humanoid robot will be used over a human is cost.

All the work done by humans right now.
Tends to be either stuff that is difficult to automate or work that is so short as to not be cost effective to buy a robot that only does that one job.
Humans aren’t good at doing most thing. But they are very very good at doing a lot of things.
Flexibility is the main thing that employs people in factories right now.

The majority of work that can be done by simple arm robots has been replaced with simple arm robots.
The humanoid robots are not going to fulfill that niche.

Yea agree.
I personally don’t even like the NFL because the games so bloody slow and commercialised. But it still seems like a good crack.

People are so sad and edgy on this site.
Community, fun, drinks, going out of the house and doing something. That sounds awful.

They trying to make them with work with either memory alloys or with magnetic materials.
Same principle have something can go hot and cold based on some external control. But they will be done on solid materials not fluids.

Sometimes things just get horrifically cheap.
Could be pencils or shoes or lightbulbs or books a million one other things. Onetime they was rare and capitalism made them so common practically everyone into he world can have them.

People have lost the plot on what is morbidly obese.
To most people obese is healthy and health is dangerously underweight.

Thanks for trying but you’re pissing into the wind in this place.

Gooning is the least bad thing about that generation.

If you get the train downtown then you are already downtown. You don’t need a self driving car at all. You need a way to get from your house to the train station by self driving car.
Or you have a lot more demand responsive transport. Everyone gets on a mini bus in the suburbs and you all get dropped off at the stores or locations you want one by one.

55% of trips in Sweden are cars. I’d call that the default.
- Comment on [meme] choochoo 1 month ago:
I think self driving cars will help tbh. Only way it will happen.
Less parking. Solves last mile problem.

No. Not really.

I watched a good video on tool quality.
It basically said the exact same old tool is better than the new tool now. But the new tool is priced much much less. When they compared it to a modern tool that was the same price or less it performed the same or better.
People just want cheap things and companies want to make money. People need to buy quality and companies will get an incentive to build quality.

Americans seem to miss that the IRA (Irish Republican Army) were terrorists. Lots of people were killed including children.
