  It tracks because Elon is a modern day snake oil salesman. More people need to realize that.

  “If the big tech companies and the VCs throwing their money at large-scale humanoid training spent only 20% as much but gave it all to university researchers I tend to think they would get closer to their goals more quickly,” Brooks said.

  To be clear, he’s not saying the goal is unachievable. He’s just saying they’re going at it in the dumbest way possible.

  Sendex is like the goto guy for lots of older AI stuff.

  He quit posting regularly around a year ago, but wrote the book on building models from scratch. He has one of the Chinese humanoid robots... The level of software needed to make that thing do anything useful is a giant ask. We're a long way away from Daneel and Dors, or Herbie for that matter. I only mention it because this is a no nonsense guy messing around on his own and making no attempts to market or up sell. IIRC he spent around $60k for his and it was like the minimum working option someone could buy from the USA. Still I never thought I would see someone like this with a humanoid robot. While obviously he has money and all, he seems like a down to earth normal dude.

    There’s still 37 years until the time of The Jetsons! Lots of time for all that yet.

    Well no, you can buy flying cars, certified and everything. They’re just not as great or as cheap as you hope they would be. Pal-V is a car that transforms into a gyro copter, still needs a runway, and goes for somewhere between 400k and 600k.

  Tesla “full self driving” is an illusion that works on idiots.
