[@southerncyan4098]

Cheaper for hired labor? how so? 16k~ one time payment for 10 years is about 1.6k per year, [about 40ish dollars per week, cheaper than a tank of gas] for 24/7 usage/productivity. This is unironically a pretty economical device for people who theoretically don't want to do menial chores. However, it is true, that poorer people probably do not have 20k in disposable income lying about, and that's where financing for 60$ dollars a week would become a thing+insurance costs. Still, for the convenience, I certainly think its extremely price competitive to any kind of hired help you could find, to own this kind of "luxury" which would be time.

[@GamerBoyRobby]

For industrial use, $15k-25k is absolutely fine and will still result in their innevitable adoption Even for personal use, it will be justifiable at that price but that isnt the target market

[@chpsilva]

Something between US$5k to US$8k would bring it more or less to the same price of personal computers in the 80's first half. I find it hard to get lower than this due to the extensive use of mechanical parts, unless of couse if the industry brings some widespread standard allowing easily interchangeable limbs between different manufacturers.

No, its narrative building. It’s Elons: if you can’t beat them, join them strategy. So in order to get everyone to approve that the richest man builds his own artificial intelligence and implants chips into every brain you have to join the resistance, not fight it! HE COMPLAINS MORE THAN ANYONE ABOUT AI!!! He just switched the target. It’s not the billionaire who might implant thoughts into everyone’s brains but the AI becoming EVIL😂😂😂

[@charaznable1131]

One thing to note the cost of these robots do not include the license renewal ...... For example the spot robot dog from Boston dynamics requires you to pay a certain amount for the license which is different according to every country its sold in on top of the more than 10k $ purchase price

[@TimAl-ro5cw]

That's a shame. You should be able to buy a robot and forget the company that sold it to you unless you need repairs. You should not have to buy license fees. Otherwise what's the point of buying it, instead of renting or leasing it, if you have to continue to give the seller money

[@tydendurler9574]

If they can get this thing able to both be trained on how to complete tasks and be able to recognize tasks that need to be done, I would 100% pay 16k for one just to have it do chores around the house.

[@catoftruth1044]

can you control this one with occulus rift or VR? you can make a software or gamify home chores and cleaning by controlling it! in fact you can outsource the controller overseas so the caretakers can just be stay at home. has anyone though of that yet? 💸

[@southerncyan4098]

Good idea to help the software grow and get the data it needs to become a more effective helper. Then there could be increasing autonomy, which would give corpos the excuse they need to charge a subscription based plan, on top of the 20k donated. It is a great idea tho.

You could hire a handyman for some of that and a cleaning person for the other things. $16,000 would probably last for for several years at least.

Humanoid means it'll be able to interact completely with our world, which has been set up for the humanoid form. I can't wait till the day I can stay in bed on Sunday morning and have my robot helper bring in fully made breakfast, with all the house chores done. These things can take over the mundane, so we can focus on doing more of what we want. Massively beneficial and that's not even starting on S&R benefits or helping people with disabilities.

How it's possible? Boston Dynamics has been making robots for 30 years. Step by step, they have improved their robots and finally created Atlas 2. But this 8 y.o. company just beat them. Reminds me statement from business books: "Innovation does not guarantee market conquest"
