Kinda weird how the engineers told you to stay in that room whilst the robot ‘made’ the coffee. And it only showed the robot pouring the water, which we didn’t see it pick up in the first place.... just to have the engineer then hand you the finished cup of coffee and insist that the robot made it, even though we didn’t fully get to see it being made...

Important to note that the reason it does all those things is because it's being piloted by a human so you're basically just getting a human maid with a less capable body but I guess if the person is from a developing country and you don't have to pay US/European minimum wage, it could be a net benefit vs an in-person human maid.

[@MadFlumph]

It's a different path to the same goal. The reason other companies are putting their robots in factories is for training. The reason these guys want to put Neo in your home is also for training. Their advantage right now is making a robot that's "safe" enough to be put in someone's home right away so that they can get a leg up on their competition in amassing real world home training data.

[@Art-AI-and-beyond]

@@MadFlumph Yup I realise its all about gathering as much real world data as possible in order to generalise but I kind of agree with the Neo team that putting them in the home first is going to get there faster. A factory environment seams rather constrained and specialised in performing very specific tasks in a repetitive manner whereas in the home they will be exposed to a bigger variety of unique tasks and be far more interactive with people rather than just be left to get on with things. Also with many people training them up in many different homes and situations just adds to the richness of data.

I get you, but for real think about it. Think about the question. How do you prove an egg is not hardboiled, without compromising it? we as humans know becuase we generally keep track of the 10 eggs we got in the fridge, and we keep them separate. But if I hand you and egg and ask is it hardboiled, how do you prove that to me without the egg getting at least pierced?

[@P4INKiller]

@@TheRandomYoYo By placing it on the countertop and spinning it. It's not as much of a mystery as you seem to think it is.

[@TheRandomYoYo]

@@P4INKiller Yea I tried that trick decades ago, not all hardboiled eggs act that way, or not reliably. For example if I was asking you to prove that to me and you used only that method I wouldn't be convinced. Which brings me to the second point, not all people know this piece of info. So there will be cases where the person hears it for the first time, and unless they test it, and believe it, they wouldn't accept the answer. Which makes it inconclusive. The reason I go on about this point is because there can be very similar cases. "You know it's likely you have diabetes if your nails show no whites at the base" is a good example. And questions like these will always push an LLM to do seemingly stupid things.

[@tiagotiagot]

If it's not self-contained and fully air-gapped, it's a safety issue; you're essentially letting anyone with tech knowledge and malicious intent to get into your house and do whatever they want; and that includes access to your valuables, sharp items, flammables, "cleaning" products, stored food, keys etc. And things like recognizing individual voices, and enough intelligence to not follow harmful/criminal/scammy orders in case someone synthesizes the owner voices and projects thru a window or calling in etc, would also be essential to avoid jailbreaking and in-person vulnerabilities.

[@bobason456]

Like an internet router?

[@tiagotiagot]

@@bobason456 That would be one example of a potential exploitable entry point. A GSM modem (like a built-in cell phone) would be another. Non-internet wireless connections like bluetooth would also be a risk, though require more proximity from the attacker (someone that may have a truck van on the outside ready to be auto-loaded with your valuables for example). Pretty much any form of data connection is a problem. Call and the other droids in her group in Alien Ressurection had the right idea when they burned their own wireless modems; there is no such thing as an unhackable computer, but it gets much harder to do anything if you need physical access.

[@tiagotiagot]

@@r9999t Jailbreaking or factory-backdoors/trojans in the model itself are indeed another vulnerability. In general, jailbreaking could be taken care of with sufficient intelligence to figure when a voice that sounds like the owner is asking for something that would be against the best interest of the owner (and that obviously depends also on reliable speaker recognition). The only way to avoid a manufactured sleeper agent situation would be with replaceable AI models and open-source and unlocked firmware and such that would let you ensure it won't be factory-reset automatically after you flashed a known safe model and firmware, and stuff like that.

[@64jcl]

Many people are obviously very cautious what to believe as something like this is so easily faked by tele-operation (and indeed what Tesla did when they demonstrated their robot). They would need to show more that makes it more believable but obviously a company like this needs to hold their cards close since competition is a thing. I also think many know the "hype pump" that many tech companies do to make investors interested, and not actually being able to deliver (again like Tesla for the last 8 years they were supposed to be delivering self-driving cars). Then there is the obvious trust in the companies not snooping on people in their own homes somehow. This will require some extra level of security where owners can be sure that the robot is not actively sending information out that it should not, especially one that is moving about in your home and can see everything. If they manage this and somehow have the ability to make the robot learn through practice, I am sure many would find that useful for many things, even if it works slowly.

@@jasonficcone2605 i don't base my judgements on what people say a product will be, i based it one what it is and might become. There is this negative tesla sentiment out there. And as much as they are right, it blocks them from every caring about the future. Same with like a bunch of movies, and games...etc. Life is amazing, there is so many great things in it (although its quite hard to see it when we are getting bombarded by negative perspectives by others all the time). That being said, im not disagreeing with you, it very well could be all those things you said. I just wont let that mess me up. I can still see that in a decade from now many of the issues we hold so dear today about this new wave of innovation will disappear in the wake of new applications and products

[@sciencelabvideosl7558]

I will never ask a robot to prove to me that I am alive .

[@salvationindustries]

The teleoperation is the scariest factor here. Who is going to teleoperate? You are essentially putting a stranger into your home. It's not only about privacy and see you in your most private moments but even if the robot is not stronger than you it can still poison you.

[@jackieclan815]

Right!

[@ThomasTomiczek]

It is the most irrelevant part. See, the reason that they do that is for training, and that is also the reason they do a limited beta. Concerned? Do not even participate. Once this is sold, there should hardly ever be a need to use teleoperation. And even then, most scenarios are not where you care about privacy.

[@ronilevarez901]

One of the use cases for me is as a nurse to help me take care of my mom. So letting a tele-operator into my house is pretty much the same as letting a human nurse in. Both will have a verifiable identify and some level of certification and references. Not big deal. (Note for 1x: get the operators those papers and show them to the beta testers). There's always something to sacrifice towards progress. As long as it's reasonable I'm fine with it.

[@liminalsunset]

As we all know, administrative controls like "certifications" and "KYC" are useless. That is what they said about Tesla cameras (internal sharing of private customer data for random purposes) and App Store Review (hired technologically challenged people) and look what ended up happening. When you think of AI data labelling, you should think of the lowest bidder hiring someone to make the product look like it is working from a call center. Unfortunately there is no way around this but I think if the user has to explicitly approve the remote connection, it's not a huge problem.

[@gabrieldarcy9067]

They said they want to get rid of teleoperation by next year. They're just doing it to train the neural network whilst in the prototype stage

[@elyakimlev]

I don't understand the hype. This is teleoperated and clearly isn't autonomous. They won't be selling those next year because they are useless. In my opinion, we won't have robots at home until people figure out how to give robots sense of touch and dense pressure points around the whole body, not just hands. This is necessary for safety. If the robot can feel 'pain', and is trained to avoid it, it can know what might cause you pain and be careful around you. In other words: empathy.

[@rampagephoenix1735]

The reason why it's a big deal is because, apparently, the technology is getting alot closer to achieving that than you realize. See, me personally, I like to think that they wouldn't be pushing any excitement around any kind of tech unless they were serious about having already proven they can address any issues that hinder it's potential. Humanoid robots, electric cars, flying vehicles.......the way I see it, if A LOT of money and innovation is involved, then you can bet that any brag worthy credentials could very well be legit.

[@cnrspiller3549]

​@@rampagephoenix1735 dunno. If startups are desperate for more investors, they'll hype anything... likely or farfetched. I was disappointed when they snuck in the reality that Neo is basically a remote controlled animatronic biped. As impressive as it is, it is no electric butler.

[@Danuxsy]

you are delusional and suffer from mental decline, if anything I would not be surprised if we saw teleoperated robots being rented and they are controlled by third world workers making pennies, that is far more likely to happen than having a fully automated robot in the forseeable future. Imagine for $20/month you can have a teleoperated robot cooking your dinner everyday and cleaning up afterwards, that would be a booming product and it would not surprise me that this is the way they are trying to go.

[@spacemaxi9364]

[@johannesdolch]

EDIT: THIS WAS TELE-OPERATED? I am sorry, but this company is now giving me serious Nikola vibes. Here is what they actually showed: They built a prototype robot of unknown costs, unknown actual capabilities (because it moves super slow and awkward it's unclear if it a software or design problem or most likely both) and production numbers measured in low double digits per month. That's it. They have shown ZERO evidence that they can actually meet ANY of their grandiose claims. They have ZERO track record of mass production, supply chain management or software development. IT'S ALL TALK! Why am i upset about this? Because that's not how they make it sound. And this demo is clearly fake as i said in the other comment. But even i didn't realize how fake it is. Are you kidding me! Neo can't even do the tasks that are shown here in the clumsy way it does? And that's your Tesla Bot Competitor? That's a JOKE - PURE HOPIUM and possibly a scam. I still hope they succeed, but dude, their actual accomplishments are in no relation to the hype.

[@isaiahphillip4112]

Seems like NVIDIA has best approach with mass simulation training. Teleoperation data will always be limited by the human-robot interface which has an inherent input lag and forces the human to work slowly and awkwardly.

[@spray_cheese]

Yea he even said himself that tele-operation will be essential on day 1. And you could consider this day 0. Meaning it’s nearly 100% human controlled. No AI besides the chat bot tts.

[@valuemastery]

Even if it ended up in a local maximum (or minimum error), it likely will end up somewhere else on the next training run that was initialized with random weights. And I believe an LLM will not be enough, since the robot does not just generate text. It generates behaviour. So it should be a more general transformer network.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

From what I know the core code for tesla bots is based on the code for the Tesla cars (with self drive) and that is NOT an LLM for sure.
