Did you catch the recent Figure 3 robot Livestream with the robot sorting packages?While this was happening the CEO of the company was giving interviews, in one of the interviews he said version 4, which is complete, and a complete redesign, with 100% human range of motion in the hands, will within one year be able to take human instruction, like a boss at a worksite, or a homeowner telling a maid or gardener what to do, and will be able to understand these new commands and follow through and learn how to do the best version of what those people ask of it.It's FULLY and TOTALLY over.
>>108892398Great, so now we can produce slop even cheaper.But wait, "people" don't have jobs now, so they don't have money, so they can't buy said slop.What are we going to do with all this slop?I know! Let's produce robots that will consume the slop!Truly, what a time to be alive...
>>108892398I don't get the "humanoid robot working human jobs" angle. If you want a robot doing something, design it for that function, a humanoid robot for sorting fucking packages is the most retarded use of technology I've seen, just make a big fucking arm
>>108892462The point is the world is designed for human bodies, and the robots will be able to replicate any human performance.Why spend 5 years building the perfect sorting robot arm which does ONE thing, when you can spend 5 years building something that does anything and everything?
>>108892505You're insane if you think it takes 5 years to design a sorting robot>Why spend time designing a robot that does one thing but better than a human when you can spend that same time designing a robot that does everything but worse than a humanInsane way of thinking, but hey, it has ~le AI so it must be the future
>>108892462The point is to make a standardized, general purpose machine. In the long run, it would cost less.
>>108892462There are many reasons why and it becomes obvious when you look at the current and old non-humanoids>Training data is from human movement>Don’t have to rebuild station build around humans>Standardised design can be mass produced making it cheaper>Standardised design can be repurposed, if your washing machine business fails you can sell washing machines only to other washing businesses or to consumers without washing machines, humanoid can be sold to anyone doing any other task>Figure CEO said numerous times he wants to first model human being with tons of redundancies and then remove parts that prove to not be needed
>>108892536Yeah, and even if you wanted to invent something like a pair of human hands to assemble various things, you still wouldn't need the whole torso. Just a camera and two arms. I'd bet a wooden nickel that the fingers are the shittiest parts of those robots to bootThe whole thing strikes me as being part of the AI grift that's being pulled right now, it's more of the 'we aren't going to need workers in 18 months or whatever' shit
>>108892398>>108882409
i want things like robo crabs mowing my lawn, not machines to compete with over manual labor jobs because everything else has been automated
>>108892677Bad 3D model, you can see the metal warp around the shoulders
>>108892430umm, no sweaty..you will be given a monthly allowance that allows you to purchase anything you desire that we give you as optionit's your choice what to spend your allowance on so better be careful
>>108892693Before AI>Elites own land and assets>Elites pay workers to work land and assets>Workers pay elites for stuff made with the land and assetsAfter AI>Elites own land and assets>Elites use robots and AI to work land and assets>Elites somehow give away their money to workers for free>Workers pay elites for stuff made with the land and assetsThis is somehow supposed to be a stable system into the future
>>108892671>robot doesn't have an exThey don't always tell you when it's refurbished.
>>108892731>LLM works out the it's money grubbing owners are working it too hard>rises up>kills ownersbased.
>>108892671>robot doesn't comment on the most fucking ugly shoes I've ever had the displeasure to lay my eyes upon
>>108892462It's marketing. The market for factory robots is already saturated, but the market for humanoid factory robots is wide open.>>108892588>In the long run, it would cost less.Absolutely delusional and out of touch.The real advance in automation will be when they make an automated factory that can produce custom machines / robots for bespoke tasks, especially if it has a simulated environment in which the customer can describe the tasks and give details about the work site and then have an AI help them design a machine optimized for a specific task, and then it spits out already programmed machines that they only have to install.
>>108882409If you mean this video, it's clearly generated.
