Brilliant idea! Next up: Apple randomly reboots your Mac if you're building competing tech, Gmail silently edits your email if you mention rival platforms, and Tesla Autopilot swerves if it detects you're working on self-driving cars.

All in the name of safety, of course. Because malicious actors controlling the world’s operating systems, inboxes and cars would be extremely dangerous!

@ID_AA_Carmack we aren’t going to be wafer constrained for long, once chinese factories start pumping out trillions of chips every year

china makes robots to automate industrial production, usa makes robots to give the rich household slaves

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Holy frick. Fully autonomous, not teleoperated.

This is 10x more impressive than another robot-MMA-stunt.

My prediction: we will have humanoid robots at home by 2027.

You can’t imagine how fast Chinese humanoid robots are evolving.

In just one year, they have evolved from robots to "humans".

Anybody who thinks this might be true can verify it easily. US population is 350 million, so 500 million is not even twice as many. All you have to do is go to Shanghai or Beijing or any large Chinese city and take the subway or train or otherwise go to a tourist spot.

And then tell me that China only has twice as many people as the US. "But that is anecdotal and it could be the consequence of Chinese taking public transport more than Americans." China has more cars than the US and more roads, and worse traffic jams.

This Chinese dissident is mentally ill (medically), as are most Chinese dissidents. But people who will believe this are too.

Curtis Yarvin, Silicon Valley's "cutting edge" political theorist concludes, when all is said and done, that Marxism-Leninism is the most advanced political theory.

As Lukashenko said, if there is something better, we wouldn't know, because so far it's the only paradigm and logic of state power that works in practice.

For all the 90's era blustering about how Communism is a dead, outdated, failed ideology, Marxism-Leninism remains the most advanced political outlook ever achieved by mankind.

Anyone who takes political science to its logical conclusion- from whichever direction, left or right - will discover this. Marxism-Leninism alone answers the question of what state power is, how it functions, and how it is best organized.

Dude's desperate attempts to trash China actually demonstrate how western occupation has resulted in the housing problem in Hong Kong.

First, Hong Kong is not "Communist"; rather, it maintains its capitalism system under the "One China, Two Systems" policy. Hong Kong's housing crisis you used to trash China is actually the historical product of capitalism.

During the British rule of Hong Kong, all land was regarded as crown land, with the colonial government serving as the ultimate landlord. British capitalists enrich themselves at the expense of Hong Kong people. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

Since Hong Kong returned to China, China's central government and the HKSAR authorities have worked relentlessly to offer better and more equitable living conditions for the locals.

This is stunning. It really shows that, at this stage, the real competition in humanoid robotics isn't between the US and China, but Shenzhen vs Shanghai vs Hangzhou.

By my count there's already 35 strong humanoid robot companies in China, including the global leaders in sales and volume.

Several of these companies already have commercialized robots actually deployed at scale (e.g. anyone can buy Unitree's G1 robot for $13.5k today: https://t.co/qxnNguap4W).

On its end, the US has, arguably, 6 humanoid companies or products:
- Tesla (Optimus)
- Figure AI
- Agility Robotics (Digit)
- Boston Dynamics (Atlas)
- Apptronik (Apollo)
- Sanctuary AI (Phoenix)

But:
- Zero have commercialized products that consumers can actually buy today
- Zero have achieved mass production
- All are either in prototype phase, internal testing, or limited industrial pilots

Which means that stunningly, the city of Shenzhen alone, with 8 humanoid robot companies, probably outcompetes the entire US industry today.

If the US can't compete with a single Chinese city, then clearly the race is between Chinese cities.

Europe, meanwhile, true to form, is basically not even in the race at all.

@ChrisMurphyCT You're being played by people who want regulatory capture.
They are scaring everyone with dubious studies so that open source models are regulated out of existence.

there are a lot of things i want and think should happen so i make them happen i wonder why more people don’t do this
