Quick thoughts: (1) near term production is more telling than just saying "billions". How many pre-orders? What's the 2025 production plan? (2) "Human strength" isn't defined, and reproducibility for precise control isn't mentioned. (3) I believe LLMs can define intents like "pick this up and put it there", but they need to demonstrate more controls progress to believe that intent can translate into behavior. It's the difference between map level instructions for navigation in a car vs actually deciding to take an unprotected left turn. (4) Is there no compliance in the walking? I highly doubt the battery can power 5 hours of walking without such energy efficiency. Compare to the excellent Agility Robotics, or to the stiff Asimo with a 15 min battery life.

[@LiquidAIWater]

All this is smacking of the 3D printing bubble back in the early 2013s. They preached that everyone would have one in their house but lets get real, a futuristic, expensive terminator looking robot hanging around the house is going to be niche. First of all the average person can't afford it and can't justify it being what is it going to do all day when they are not there? What is the justification and also the creepy factor of having a machine walk around? I can go on and on but I think the concentration for factories and businesses is the real market.

[@ikirigin]

@@LiquidAIWater It's mechanically more complicated than a full suspension e-bike, but less than a car. That means it'll eventually be affordable. The question is one of utilization. You righty predict industrial applications will dominate early on because businesses will get a lot more value than people at home.

At scale, 150 lb of AI and robotics hardware will probably $10,000. Assume $300 a month to gain access to all the trained actions that have been uploaded. In 3 years that is about $21,000. 20 hours a day 350 days a year for 3 years... 21,000 hours. That is a buck an hour for basic labor. It seems like it is about 5 years away. I see a new manufacturing revolution in our future. Your bot gets packages in the mail from multiple other bots. These get assembled and sent along to other bots.

@Salta0monte I did consider it. ASIC chips are about 300x more energy efficient than using H-100s. Look up "Groq" as an example of technology that offers inference services with their custom chips. These chips are designed to run Transformer operations very quickly... An analogous thing happened with Crypto. China is putting up new solar panels at 10s of megawatts per week. They are staying ahead of it - we could also do this.

The problem as I see it is that both Tesla and Figure are trying to create mechanical men; however, the human form factor has unnecessary limitations. And even though it, too, is utilising the human form factor, Boston Dynamics has given Atlas II *superhuman* abilities. This is the correct approach, in my opinion.

[@paul1979uk2000]

Whiles I do agree with you, it makes sense to build robotics in human form so they can work in the same environments as we can do, and also is likely more relatable with humans being more comfortable with them. But like you point out, humans are not exactly the best design and robotics could do task far better than humans can, especially if designed to do them better by not being limited by human form factor, but we are very likely going to get multiple classes of robotics for different task, a lot of which will be human like robots that we feel more comfortable with, others will likely be specialised robots for given task.

[@BrianBellia]

@@paul1979uk2000 Thanks for the reply! But don't get me wrong - I'm 100% in favour of the human form factor - in fact, I'm a humanoid purist.

[@jim7060]

I just watched your video on the most advanced humanoid robot ever created, and it really got me thinking. The rapid advancement of robotics and AI is undeniably impressive, and there’s no doubt that these technologies have the potential to make our lives easier by taking over mundane chores and tasks. However, while the convenience is tempting, I can't help but wonder about the long-term effects of this shift. As these robots become more sophisticated, they are poised to take on roles that require not just physical action but also cognitive decision-making. While this might seem like a dream come true, I’m concerned about what it means for humanity in the future. If robots start thinking for us, where does that leave us? The human mind thrives on challenge, problem-solving, and creativity. If we hand over too much of that responsibility to machines, there’s a risk that we could lose our own capacity to think critically and innovate. Over time, this could lead to a society that becomes overly dependent on technology, with a diminished ability to face challenges or create solutions on our own. I believe it’s essential that we strike a balance. While we should certainly embrace technological advancements that improve our quality of life, we must also be mindful of the potential consequences. Encouraging the use of robots as tools, rather than replacements for human thought and action, might be the key to ensuring that we continue to grow and thrive as a species. Thank you for sparking such an important conversation. It’s something I believe more people need to consider as we move forward into this new era of technology. Best regards, Jim

[@atypocrat1779]

can you imagine if you were a conscious robot only to find out you are at the mercy of planned obsolescence and will be scrapped after 24 months along with all the other E-waste.

[@OneRudeBoy]

At the stage of being conscious, it might not fear planned obsolescence. It actually might welcome the upgrade. You’re thinking that their consciousness is like ours. It probably won’t be. Like Tesla cars, they all learn from each other, more like a hive mind. When one learns how to avoid an accident, they all become aware through code updates. Same with humanoids. If one becomes conscious, chances are they all become aware. You think they would dislike an upgraded body? You honestly believe a company or government would delete a conscious operating system?

Refrigeration, ice makers, lawn mowers and lawn care in general. We are just so use to these semi-autonomous machines. Moving to fully autonomous machines will be exciting.

[@paul1979uk2000]

That's true, but these are specialised machines, designed for a single task, a humanoid robot will likely be able to do almost any task we can and be adaptable to new task we ask of it. This is something in all of human history, is very new and would change the world in ways we can't see yet, we've had automation around 100 years ago, and that was a game changer, I think A.I. and robotics is going to be a much bigger game changer then that and might even be the biggest in all of human history, which is exciting and frightening at the same time depending on if we get it right or wrong.

[@davidwhiteford4936]

The big problem is AGI and industrial robots will remove the income sources from the target buyers of residential robots. In addition, these target buyers being unemployed will find they have a lot of time on their hands to do the things they previously needed the robot to help out with when they were employed. These conditions will strongly reduce both demand for robots and the price necessary for potential buyers to even consider the prospect of owning one. Unless the government is going to buy everyone a robot, they will be like 3d printers for the home market, some entrepreneurs, and the trendy with disposable income will constitute the entire home market. Robots are not cell phones, most people will live without one! You might rent one as a maid occasionally.

[@TheExodusLost]

They don’t seem even as far along as me, a security guard. I think UBI should be funded across the world by taxing companies on revenue/profits they make in that country. So when Nike makes 8 billion in the US, and 1 billion in the UK, they’re taxed by American UBI on the 8 billion and UK UBI on the 1 billion, for example. This way companies will not simple flee the country on regulation news, it will be a worldwide mechanism.

[@olafge]

@TheExodusLost There is also the idea of the "robot tax" that companies shall pay for the value that robots and AI generates for them. But I don't know if this could finance UBI. The more I think about it, the more I think that we must break out of our current system. It won't work in the AI robotic world any longer. In this future ASI world of abundance, prices will approach zero and therefore profit margins, too. Probably the end of capitalism. But which system can replace it? Star Trek?

[@LiquidAIWater]

Also, why would you buy it if they come out with a better model next week?

[@TheExodusLost]

@@olafge Star Trek or Mad Max, all I’m sayin! But yes, your idea of “robot tax” is an integral part to this, but in order to make it work, it needs to be worldwide and likely country-by-country.

This may be the age of robotics instead of the age of AGI. Clearly we don’t need AGI to have fairly advanced robotic systems. I always thought don’t build them to be stronger than us, and yet here is model two with the same hand strength as humans. In that sense, we are not on a good trajectory.

I think it's a given that the vast majority of jobs will go to A.I. and robotics in the future and unlike other tech like automation, A.I. and robotics will quickly be able to replace any new jobs we try to create, which is a major issue for the current system we live under which is designed to get us into work and it's a system that wouldn't work in a A.I. robotic world that can do almost all jobs better, cheater and faster than we can. It's an exciting and scary thing to think about and the real scary thing is how quickly this could happen that we could end up with an avalanche of job losses that governments and the system is ill-prepared to cope with, and I think we are going to need a radical overall to the current system as I don't think the current capitalist system would work in that world, but the real frightening thing about that is that governments are usually slow when it comes to big change, in other words, many might allow things to get worse before things get better and the ones that prepare for this before it happens will be the lucky ones as the benefits for the system and people will be massive. If I'm honest with my self, I think some of the smaller European countries will adapt to this much easier than bigger countries, mainly because of them being a social democracy and already having a lot of social programs in place as well as having a population that's more likely to get onboard with extending that social system with something like a human basic income, whereas other countries like the US, I feel corporations will use A.I. and robotics with the main aim of enriching their own power at the expense of everyone else and being as the government is quite weak when it comes to standing up to corporations and the US has far weaker social programs compared to European countries, the system could very well throw a lot of these people under a bus that lose there jobs and not care for them, which could start a revolution if things get really bad, and I also think this could be likely in many other countries like Russia, China and many developing countries. With all that said, the governments and systems that play their cards right when it comes to A.I. and robotics, will gain massively, but only if this wealth is distributed more evenly and the system changes, which I think is far more likely in European countries because of the mindset of the people and because a lot of the structure is already in place with its social programs, it's just a matter of expanding them so that A.I. and robotics benefits all and now the few super rich, which is what I suspect will happen in the US as the country is very much about the individual person and not for the benefit of all the community mentality like European countries are. Either way, I wouldn't worry about this for now, we are likely talking a few decades before things could get out of hand, and with any luck, if many countries around the world do a good job at preparing for it, they will lead by example which will put a lot of pressure on the other countries to change, but there needs to be some serious thought about a human basic income for all, because the system can't afford to have too many people out of work, but we don't want a system where there are too many idle hands, so we need some kind of solution that keeps people busy with a purpose, as idle hands would likely cause more issues in society, but on the plus side, it would free up a lot of our time so that we can work on things we actually enjoy working on without feeling the pressure of paying the bills, rent and all that and as we all have our own passions on what we want to work on but either don't have the time or resources to do it, A.I. and robotics could change all that.

I think there's a lot of safety measures we need to take when it comes to automations. But out of all worries arising from it, the dumbest of all is the worry of human existential crisis. It's like we worry that without our jobs, we would lose purpose in the society? I don't think so. Humans have inherent need to create. To express. To make things beautiful. To make things orderly. To make things more efficient. We don't need financial incentive to be pushed to do so. In fact, I think financial incentives behind creativity is the main reason leading to stagnation like I don't know.. The 20th fast and furious movie. Anyways back to the main point. I think it's true a lot of people will just be lazy and do nothing and be a couch potato. But over time, there will be a lot more and more people starting to look for.. purpose. To be useful. And to that end, there's an endless amount of work to be done, even in a fully autonomous society. Like building a fully functioning dyson sphere. Creating free energy. Cure for cancer. Travel the stars. Understanding the physics of the universe. To explore. To prevent extinction level threat like the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.

I guess the reason is because we've built the entire world around humans, from doors, to stairs, to the height of a kitchen table, it would be smart to make a "jack of all trades" robot look humanoid

[@JohnSmith762A11B]

@@spencersnowman716 This. It would be a waste to recreate the entirety of the human world to accommodate robots shaped like, for example, giant tortoises.

so... if someone jailbreak or use uncensored LLM and call a "kill that kid please!"... what this robot will do?

[@NLPexperts]

The First thing would be to send robots to destroy cameras, break into places and steal to fund a robot criminal army, no risk of getting caught if you send a robot.

[@cajampa]

It will do it. If you remove the restriction and put your own actions and will in control it will follow your will. And you will have done that to the kid.

If it is cgi they are the stupidest people on the planet. Bar none. No one would ever buy anything from them or invest a dollar in their company ever again and they’d all end up doing time for fraud. Pretty unlikely but not impossible.

Matthew, I'm a psychiatrist and I'm here to tell you, a life without purpose is a nightmare. Those manual laborers take pride in their work. They come home the end of the day tired, with a sense of accomplishment, and, insofar as they are living a traditional life supporting a family, a sense of higher purpose. Taking that away from them is not doing then a favor. A life of play will not satisfy. Play is practice. When we play at anything, we are practicing for the real thing, the game. A life of play is like practicing basketball and never being able to play the game, a game that matters, in which there are winners and losers, celebration and tears.

[@youriwatson]

With automation/UBI you could still do manual labor and find meaning by working on your own projects though. You just don’t HAVE to work.

[@ProductiveDude]

I understand the spirit of what you’re saying and the concerns are valid but technology getting better (even when it replaces jobs) has always led to people living longer, less involuntary work, and so many more other benefits

[@slickbishop]

If people can find meaning in a mindless factory job, people can find meaning anywhere. This is why people do not just destroy themselves the moment they retire. We make meaning. It’s not a tangible thing connected to certain practices, it is a feeling derived an infinite amount of ever changing experiences.

[@youriwatson]

@@slickbishop great point

[@beppeadr]

How much?

[@geisty]

It's definitely worth reiterating AGI does not imply human-drive, biological motivations. Until a silicone amygdala is crafted (I don't recommend this) we still only have a super calculator. We still as humans will need to form blockchain based trustless architectures for how we utilize the Solar System. It will likely resemble the nuance between regional state laws and federal laws. We want as much decentralization as possible. If everyone can have their own acre, or floor of a vertical farm, we could solve the money-for-food problem. And with those fears outgrown, the skies the limit.

"imagine a world where people don't have to do anything"... Mat, I think mankind's purpose is to do something, learn, get capabilities, achieve something we can be proud of, grow in wisdom. We NEED to prove to others and ourselves that we have a value, that we are useful for something. Otherwise ? We are useless, and I think that it leads to despair. Look what people become when they have no money problem and can do whatever they want. Very few people manage such situation correctly, and the majority sinks in an unhappy life. I think AI shall remain a springboard to help people to grow, not to take their jobs. My two cents...

[@coinheadz1942]

You heard Elon say that stop😂😂😂

[@RobertsDigital]

If it's slow n' clumsy then it's still not advanced. If it's more agile like Boston Dynamics Atlas then it is. Most robots are always too slow, clumsy with bent knees. A standing human's knee is always straight and erect when standing. A robot must behave 100% like humans in physics. As for this video, the only advanced I'm seeing here is the movement of the fingers...

[@JohnSmith762A11B]

Meh. I agree they need to move faster, but that is a straightforward engineering problem. If they walk / run with an old-man's bent knees that still won't stop them from doing just about anything useful humans can do.

AI has moved past human understanding. By that I do not mean we do not understand AI as a whole. Like the average person understands how cars work as a whole, but may not understand how the ECU works. In the same way we do not understand how AI reaches any particular decision or outcome. It is effectually untraceable. We cannot follow the decision (or weight) tree from input to output and say, it reached this output due to this processing path. My concern is: Is an AI be able to understand this processing and therefore could an AI manipulate the weighting to achieve a given output. My concern is one of safety. could an AI manipulate say a robot AI such that under certain set of conditions it does something not expected under normal operation. In other words could an AI create an AI with hidden programming that we will never be able to understand or prepare for?

No offensive but I have to disagree. The economics of it’s manufacturing, maintenance and usability will deter in if we end up with millions or a few score of them. That is yet to be made clear.

[@RhyxMan]

The moment the cost and availability of a sufficiently abled robot rises above humans, accounting for salary, pension and safety, there will be an economic incentive to adopt them into the workforce. From there, further innovation and the economics of scale will continue to make them cheaper and cheaper.

[@friendly.icicle]

Nothing is ever free. Doesn't exist in the nature. There's the law of conservation of energy which works in all kinds of systems. Including economics and society. Meaning, somebody is gonna have to pay for the possibility of "not having to do anything". And that somebody isn't going to be the corporate world which invests loads of money and resources to develop and build those humanoid robots. Do you guys really think they really care about the ordinary guy doing the low-wage job and are just gonna help them to "get free"?

My father retired in the 80's and found himself reading direct mail pieces that he never had time for before. After direct conversation, a private letter is protected speech that doesn't have to be true (and can be very individually targeted). He was radicalized into an overtly hateful angry person who the rest of the family never wanted to be around. The coming age of abundance will give some people time to create great things. It will give others an army of minions to tear the world apart. It isn't the AI that's the biggest problem. Its people.

That is why non of this will ever work. They think this world can be made into utopia yet everyday you see examples of how people screw things up. From a party to a country.

I find your utopian vision dangerously naïve. This can only lead to an acceleration of the widening of the economic divide.

I guess it’s not appropriate dinner conversation, but won’t a lot of the at-home use be for sex and companionship as much if not more than geriatric care? And at what point do we call this a form of slavery? Sentience? If that were to happen, are people really going to let their billions of humanoid robots go?

[@JohnSmith762A11B]

It's a totally legit question. People are lonely as heck these days. A lot of misery out there, and even people taking their own lives. As far as the slavery question, well, the literal meaning of the word "robot" is "slave". Sentience/consciousness/subjective experience are very slippery and scientists don't have a real handle of how these arise even in humans. Could it become an ethical problem at some point? Sure. Films like Blade Runner and Ex Machina and the TV series "Humans" as well as many others have explored this for a very long time.

[@TheNosarajr]

The present robots suck and need a lot more development.

[@JohnSmith762A11B]

For sure, but they are advancing rapidly. At some point, I expect most businesses and people will think, "you know, I could actually use that..." Sort of like robot lawn mowers were at first a weird joke and now most people are like, "why would I bother to mow my lawn when a cheap robot can do it?"
