all of these general purpose robots won't do much sh**t if no new breakthroughs are achieved in the battery tech. Apple can't find a battery with enough juice to power their VR set without a tether; how long then can a human-sized robot go on a battery conducting demanding tasks?
Is Robert Murray-Smith the new secret god of tinkering and technology? His laughter whenever physics seems to work has always seemed slightly maniacal and threatening, like he's just seen evidence that his plans to successfully pull one over on reality. The TTRPG player and SCP Foundation fan in me just assumes that eventually he will complete the first part of his series, and anyone who watches all of it and follows along will be able to produce some kind of machine with a practical use that defies understood physics, but is somehow completely self-consistent, as if he has quietly rejected our reality and substituted his own.
@@FelixHelix Dead sober, my dude. I'm just familiar with and sensitized to the "diabolical and inevitable plan" trope. "Leading someone down the garden path to a fundamental and self-consistent disproof of reality" is actually a fairly old story concept.

The Murray-Smith version of the story is different in that instead of the disproof making the tools illegitimate, reality itself would be forced to bend to hid different "true" description, and those people who fully understood the new description of reality would be able to make the real world do slightly different things.
boston dynamics havent released a video of them improving the atlas bot in years and its ridiculous. Why havent they shown any progress since that video of them u posted?
It’s because they’ve reached a point where they can’t really upgrade or advance any further, that’s why it’s time for humanoid robots powered by A.I, because of its limitless potential.

@@dantes4729 yeah there is a lot more than that mate. Go on any of their social media to see hundreds of videos of their robots doing all sorts of things. Again, with witnesses.

Every few years we get some new robot tech and everyone speculates: “is this the year robots take over? Is it? is it?” And everyone forgets until the next few years when the cycle starts all over again. In my opinion, robots will stay in this cycle until someone actually combines AI (like CHATGPT) with a robot. Until they can think they’re just dexterous tin cans.
chatgpt isn't really and AI which could do any real decisions on its own, its just big library of things from which code picks more accurate answer. If Ai keeps progressing at same pace we are like a decade or more until actual AI which could actually overtake anything.

Once you have a robot that can use existing human tools for all phases of its production from raw materials extraction to assembly and finishing to programming and sales and marketing then the marginal cost of new robots drops to $0. Also the cost of labour drops to $0. You’re not dealing with a new technology, you’re dealing with a new species.
@@SquirrelNuts-r1u correct. It will be impossible for people to strike to negotiate for better conditions because they won’t have jobs. The owners of the robots will have their every whim satisfied and other humans stop being useful tools and become competition for scarce resources.
Labor isn't the only cost though. And this also assumes the robot production line would require 0 human input (including maintenance) which isn't true of any machine ever made, let alone any robot.
I find it a bit redundant to give opinions (I/we think/believe... etc) in the videos of this kind of informative channel, aka editorializing, but the content is pretty good otherwise.
Lots of people saying 2024 is going to be the year of humanoid robots, but no: 2024 is going to be the year of new batteries. Sodium ion batteries are already hitting EVs and we have a lot of new tech ready to come out.
I am really rooting for this to become a reality. But I fear this optimism is unfounded given the many false premises we have had in the past where new battery technologies were demonstrated in lab but failed to reach production.
That's the thing, Ai like FSD needs to outperform humans multiple times before it gets accepted, so any small mistake is always overblown to extreme proportions, so it can't do things fast and needs to do everything as safe as possible to minimize instances of it doing any type of mistakes.
😂😂😂 AI is not a real thing champ. And FSD is the biggest lemon in technology on the planet. Not to mention the fraud of telling everyone it's ready to use as a robotaxi and can earn 100% ROI per year.
@@mervstash3692 Have you seen FSD v12? Calling something lemon technology when we have actual videos of that technology performing exceptionally well, is just silly.
@Zripas FSD v12 means literally fk all dude. It's a patch to fix bugs. It doesn't advance the product years forward like every other simpleton thinks. Tell me when it gets to level 3 autonomy. It's been level 2 for nearly a decade now. That's the only progress that matters. You have no idea WTF any of it means and you just believe anything the vapourware king tells you.
@@mervstash3692 Perfect example of people like you knowing nothing about a thing and pretending to know everything about it. FSD v12 is a huge move forwards from v11 due to it going into end to end processing. There is no longer a code like which says that car needs to stop at red light, or that it needs to stop at stop sign or any of that, everything like that is gone with this new version, yet its still stopping at red lights, stopping at stop signs and so on. Why? Because its been trained to do it instead of it being hard coded to do it... Hard coding "stop at stop sign" is exponentially more simple than training it to do it from basic raw videos, but it being trained to do it is exponentially better solution as it can handle exponentially wider range of random situations. Tell you know nothing about AI without telling me know nothing about AI...

2) A humanoid robot is a general-purpose robot; it can share our space, do what we do, and use the tools that we use. Look at the specialized robots we already have around the house: vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, automatic cat litter boxes, and so on.

If we'd get a specialized robot for all chores around the house, we'd end up with a huge pile of them. And I agree with the previous poster: it would make them more acceptable to have them around us all the time.
@@flashkraft Spider legs? So when it encounters narrow path, what's then? Cry in binary?

There are some tasks which could benefit from wheels or spider legs or properlers or flippers, but to have universal robot you will need humanoid one.
I still don‘t think humanoid robots make any sense outside research. Why build a factory and then add humanoid robots that will always be slower than if you just build the lines around specialized robots? Also, why legs? They are significantly more complicated and most factories already have elevators and stuff since they need to move equipment, I just don‘t get it. Additionally, I doubt they will be even comparably fast to humans in this decade which will likely make humans a better choice in almost all remaining use-cases. Still, the research going into it is obviously worthwhile for more general advanced in robotics and related fields. If you can build a humanoid robot, you can most likely also build a more specialized one re-using most of your electronics and software.
That is. But they need funding and that is why these videos are created, they encourage young people to study STEM careers, etc. In short, they accelerate technological progress. Until there are improvements in battery usage or new architectures, humanoid robots will simply be insignificant. Movies about robots are great, but everything has a money cost. Capitalism will never disappear.
Agreed. The people saying they'll be the future aren't understanding the needs of the potential customers. Buying a machine with legs it doesn't need is ALWAYS going to be more expensive than building a table in the spot it never moves from. Hell, if you need it to move you can just install wheels.
Why Bot manufacturers keep giving their bots five digits per hand. Bots can have four or even three digits per hand and still can function perfectly. Unless, Bots like to play piano, guitar or any instrument that requires a full hand with five digits!
come to think about it, this is really a silly thing to do. All these additional motors and actuators add to the complexity of the thing with so little return.
@@markmuller7962 I do understand, making Bots to look more human friendly, and all its human abilities. However, if we follow the path of evolution, the little pinky is redundant. Just look at any video of Bots picking up objects! I did make a silly comment out of frustration, nothing else! Take care friend and a happy new year, cheers
We need to tax the balls off of every company (private and public) and it's owners(board of directors, stock holders, executive staff, etc) that employs this technology. This is a giant step backwards for humanity and those that play in these waters owe a great debt to the rest of the human race. I would even go so far as to say that any company that employs this tech should automatically(see what I did there) become public property and any realized profits should be equally distributed to the communities that lose work opportunities to this detrimental endeavor.
@@wagbagsag It's an interesting question; wealth distribution at the moment is for a large part through labour. The question is how we ought to organize this when labour is no longer the norm. UBI smells too much of socialism / communism, with a basic income that comes with tight controls and a distinct lack of freedom. Instead of that, perhaps we should not have UBI but a Citizen's Dividend. The difference: a UBI is a stipend you receive courtesy of the government, and they can change this, or even decide to pay you in kind rather than money, providing housing and food and such instead of paying you. And removing your choices in the process. A Citizens Dividend is not a courtesy but a right. And it would give you choices, such as saving or investing part of your earnings into stocks or bonds. Or starting your own business and reaping the rewards. A dude called Marshall Brain wrote an interesting short SF story about these questions. The book is called "Manna", you can get it as a free public domain ebook.
Nice to see RMS get a mention, such a great channel. I genuinely hope all these humanoid robots being created have a big red kill switch on them! We really are entering the phase thats leading up to films like irobot and terminator, hopefully humankind learnt something from them...
I learned two things: 1. Treat non-human sentients with respect regardless of whether or not you _think_ or _feel_ that they are sentient. 2. Learn how to build and always carry an EMP.
Let’s hope that when AGI is invented, and mass-automation starts happening, that government put in place a UBI or something similar as a proactive measure rather than a reactive one.🫡

Why Bot manufacturers keep giving their bots five digits per hand. Bots can have four or even three digits per hand and still can function perfectly. Unless, Bots like to play piano, guitar or any instrument that requires a full hand with five digits!
Think about it more
come to think about it, this is really a silly thing to do. All these additional motors and actuators add to the complexity of the thing with so little return.
@@markmuller7962 maybe you should read more carefully and think about it, cheers!
@@educatingfool216 You don't get it ah? You probably think you're very intelligent
@@markmuller7962 I do understand, making Bots to look more human friendly, and all its human abilities. However, if we follow the path of evolution, the little pinky is redundant. Just look at any video of Bots picking up objects! I did make a silly comment out of frustration, nothing else! Take care friend and a happy new year, cheers
has no one seen terminator? we're fucked!
Your fear fuels the demons you pray against.
You've seen too much of it probably
Movies don't translate to real life lil bub
@@Nell_Hell no shit bub.
We need to tax the balls off of every company (private and public) and it's owners(board of directors, stock holders, executive staff, etc) that employs this technology. This is a giant step backwards for humanity and those that play in these waters owe a great debt to the rest of the human race. I would even go so far as to say that any company that employs this tech should automatically(see what I did there) become public property and any realized profits should be equally distributed to the communities that lose work opportunities to this detrimental endeavor.
No need to tax the companies, just the individuals making a profit. And yea, widespread use of robots will require UBI/UBS
2024 will be an important political year. Make it count.
@@wagbagsag It's an interesting question; wealth distribution at the moment is for a large part through labour. The question is how we ought to organize this when labour is no longer the norm. UBI smells too much of socialism / communism, with a basic income that comes with tight controls and a distinct lack of freedom. Instead of that, perhaps we should not have UBI but a Citizen's Dividend. The difference: a UBI is a stipend you receive courtesy of the government, and they can change this, or even decide to pay you in kind rather than money, providing housing and food and such instead of paying you. And removing your choices in the process. A Citizens Dividend is not a courtesy but a right. And it would give you choices, such as saving or investing part of your earnings into stocks or bonds. Or starting your own business and reaping the rewards.
A dude called Marshall Brain wrote an interesting short SF story about these questions. The book is called "Manna", you can get it as a free public domain ebook.
Nice to see RMS get a mention, such a great channel.
I genuinely hope all these humanoid robots being created have a big red kill switch on them! We really are entering the phase thats leading up to films like irobot and terminator, hopefully humankind learnt something from them...
I learned two things:
1. Treat non-human sentients with respect regardless of whether or not you _think_ or _feel_ that they are sentient.
2. Learn how to build and always carry an EMP.
Disliked due to you not mentioning tesla bot
He did at 1:12 min
Disliked you for disliking him for no reason
Thanks MOSFET 👌👍🙏✋🌹💖😊😍
Let’s hope that when AGI is invented, and mass-automation starts happening, that government put in place a UBI or something similar as a proactive measure rather than a reactive one.🫡
