The counterpoint to this is the liquidity of labor that comes from humanoid, and the resource and expertise pooling effect. Much like why JavaScript found its success. So it’s a tradeoff on liquidity vs efficiency game imo
.@travisk on why specialized robots beat humanoids for real work:
"I'm not anti-humanoid, I'm non-humanoid. There are tasks that are good for humanoids, low scale, high diversity, in human environments, humanoid all the way. But the minute you have a machine doing a high-scale task, we're no longer in humanoid land, we're in specialized robotics land."
"There was a moment nine months ago where humanoids were the mega rage of all time. When your hairdresser says he's getting into the humanoid business, we know something's wrong."
"If I had to make 1,000 pancakes an hour, I'd never have a humanoid do it, you'd need 100 humanoids going gg-gg-gg. It's like the humanoid Olympics in Beijing, they're doing the marathon and it's cool, but all I could think is, imagine if you put wheels on them. Would you ever put a humanoid in a car to drive it?"
"High scale, repetitive tasks do not need to be in human form, and they won't be, because humans are meant to do lots of things at low scale."
it feels insane to be using images of the final resting place of those that gave their life for our country when anthropic won't even give their models to defend those very same warfighters
Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability.
For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.
Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!
The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.
LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.
I would not mind the red if the ref had called a single obvious yellow the entire first half. It can’t be this rough and tumble let them play calling and then jumping to red the moment something actually bothers you.
“You’re going to miss me when I’m gone, Anon. You mocked me, but I was your shield. I held them back as long as I could. I kept the barbarians at the gate. Your United ‘Economy Plus’ seat will never be the same. You’re on your own now. Good luck, cowboy. You’re going to need it.”
