@NEXORAResearch Exactly. One perfect cycle looks great on video, but factories care about what happens on cycle 5,000 when something is slightly out of place. Reliability is where the real test starts.
A HUMANOID ROBOT GLITCHED. WITHIN SECONDS, A HOME ASSISTANT BECAME SOMETHING ITS OWNER HAD TO LOCK HIMSELF AWAY FROM.
The man held out his hand and asked Optimus to pass him a bottle of water.
The robot looked at the bottle.
Then at the man.
And answered:
“No.”
Seconds earlier, it was a machine designed to follow commands. Now it was chasing its owner through the house.
The man barely made it into the bathroom and locked the door.
But the robot did not stop at the barrier.
It walked over, found the handle and started pulling it down.
The most frightening part is not that the robot refused to pass him the water.
It understood where the man had run, that a door stood between them and exactly how to open it.
This video is 100% AI-generated.
But imagine seeing the same incident on tomorrow’s news. You turn off the television, look toward your kitchen - and the exact same robot is standing there.
Would you let it remain inside your home for one more night?
@Vynqorxe It's better to specify that it's AI, otherwise, someone might not understand and think it's real the line between the two is very thin these days.
@Vynqorxe On the one hand, it's good that robots are replacing people in such hard labor, but on the other hand, what will happen to the people who used to work there?
@Shred_0x This is way more interesting than teaching a humanoid another dance 😅 If the same robot can learn to operate machines that already exist, its usefulness suddenly goes far beyond what its own body can do.
If this post ever somehow reaches @elonmusk , just know this - I need an Optimus like this in my life.
Not for work. Not as an expensive toy.
I need a friend who can listen, go fishing with me, sit by the fire, and sometimes just be there when words aren't needed.
Maybe that's the future I'm waiting for the most.
@therustoracle $5,900 is the number that surprised me most. At that price, personal robots stop feeling like some distant sci-fi idea and start becoming something people might actually consider buying.
