I know this is going to sound like I’m parroting AI marketing taking points, but I don’t think schools should dump AI. The tool isn’t going away. Schools have to teach how to use it responsibly.
When I say this, I mean there should be AI and technology education for the same reason we should have drug and sex education. Pretending it doesn’t exist isn’t helping anyone. Let’s have some faith in our kids and respect them enough to discuss these issues honestly and openly.
Oh, you see? He was the real victim.
The bubble won’t burst so long as there is more money being printed and companies can just inflate their way out of debt.
Both of those video were clearly choreographed and sped up. Ask yourself, why do they need to fake it? (Because they are all competing for VC investment that they desperately need to continue development.)
Find any one of these companies that released a video with a reporter present and you will see the real capabilities of these robots.
The greatest of these is love.
Yes. Industrial robots are designed and programmed to do exactly one single useful thing very well. These are not industrial robots. The promise of these humanoid robots is that they will one day be generalist robots. That they will be able to do any task a human can do. That’s a very very different engineering problem to solve then current single task industrial robots.
As it stands right now, these robots, even the ones depicted in this video, can do exactly zero useful tasks. The only function they can serve is novelty entertainment. Just like AI slop. And just like AI slop, the novelty will wear off really quick.
I highly doubt they are robust enough to assist with rescue.
Didn’t get me wrong, they are very impressive machines, but at best they are still just engineering experiments.
No, it’s still just AI slop. Even if the robot is physically moving it’s still not doing anything useful. It’s the physical equivalent of a slop picture.
I was guilty of that very thing once. During my first programming class back in college, I wrote an Asteroids clone as a project. My professor kept sending it back telling me to fix it. I really racked my brain trying to figure out what he was sending back to me (he wouldn’t tell me, I was supposed to find and correct the error). The game ran just fine. Finally a gave up and asked him to tell me the answer of what my code was doing wrong. He showed me that I had one line of code that was basically making a new instance of the entire game for every screen refresh. (I wrote it in Java, so Java was just correcting it for me in real time.)
It’s funny to me to see people mythologize how perfect video games were before they could be remotely updated.
Sure, game developers rely on fix-it-later updates much more than they should today, but games had bugs back then too.
Progressive voter: “I’m sick of how old cowardly the Democrat party is.”
Me: “Are you going to run for office.”
Progressive voter: “Uh… No. That’s too hard.”
One executive order. It could literally be one sentence long.
With the exception of the spending bill, everything that’s been done by this administration has been done by executive order. The real problem is that the administration ran off all the skilled and knowledgeable workers.
This is, in fact, the opposite of a stable regulatory environment.

The technological advancement of the robots is jaw dropping.
But, this is still just AI slop. Ultimately it’s no more useful than generating silly meme pictures to post on Facebook. It’s still worthless. It’s one thing to be able to pull off pre-programmed and choreographed dances, and another to actually do something useful. When you watch any of these robots actually try to do something useful then it’s clear that the companies still have a long way to go.
As impressive as these dances are, even a simple task like loading a dishwasher is going to be orders of magnitude more complicated to train.
Hello, my fellow Episkopol! I’m new here myself too. If you start one up I’ll subscribe!
After the ring is destroyed Saruman invades the Shire as a mafia boss and nicknames himself “Sharky”. Then Frodo and the gang kick his butt and Frodo declares himself Sheriff, defunds the police, and resigns.
That… Is some fucked up shit.
Misspelled “kidnapped and forced to fight”.
