32 thoughts on “The Race For AI Robots Just Got Real (OpenAI, NVIDIA and more)

  1. Robots with multi language capabilities and understanding – servicing retail stores, entertainment centers, immigration, customs control and more – bringing unity

  2. Anyone who knows anything about how machine learning is actually trained and the challenge of general purpose robotics can tell you just how far we are from anything approaching a general purpose android. It's cool to see the tech come together like this, but this is 10s or even 100s of thousands of tediously trained actions and interactions in extremely controlled environments, as processed by extremely expensive servers, and even then, they probably had to do several takes and limit the scope significantly. My guess is that in 3-10 years we'll be able to produce robots like this that can move boxes, sort packages, bring things to people's desk, maybe do a limited amount of food prep etc. Basically pretty limited scope tasks. The problem is, judging that the dog with extremely limited capabilities cost $70k, I think they're going to be upwards of $500k each + an expensive subscription for their neural computing, all to do far less than a human can do. And even when amazon or some other enthusiastic company buys 100 of them for some pilot operations, it's going to severely under perform and we'll find out just how divergent the problem is similar to self driving which was promised back in like 2015. This is pretty impressive tech but I think we're still really far away from it having cost effective use case, and we're facing a significant amount of chicken and the egg type problems which would require a ton of at-a-loss investment.

  3. a person behind the certain is clearly speaking through a mic for the robot it even stutters @ 7:14 i dont buy the idea that is was program to do this. this video lacks transparency on some major issues brought forth by the editor, host and on the topics of "labor shortage" that it try to pass off as not enough labor or people but in reality its about corporation tying to provide as little pay for a huge chunk of your life for them to become richer

  4. The whole thing was totally fake in order to scam investors out of a few billion. A human would know that plates from the table don't go into a drying rack. If they are used they go in the sink and if they are still clean they go on the shelf. The robot doesn't know what a plate is, or what a robot is, or anything. It is a mechanism that will do exactly as programmed. Strong AI is science fiction, just like warp drive and phasers, but I'll still take the money, suckers.

  5. So, what happens in the next 10 years when the ability to source all the raw materials & components becomes more expensive with Peter Zeihan's predictions of the global trade breakdown come to fruition?

  6. Me: Hi, I'm a content writer whose clients no longer use me because of chat GTP and cheap Asian labour. Can I please apply for one of those retail jobs which nobody wants to do?

    Recruitment agency bot: do you have retail experience?

    Me: um. No.

    Recruitment agency bot: then no.

    Me: but you need somebody to work in the role, and I need money.

    Recruitment agency bot: send us your CV.

    Me: ok. Here it is.

    Recruitment agency bot: thanks. Your application has been received.

    Later: it was great to receive your application but you have not been successful at this time. Due to the high number of applicants we are unable to offer individual feedback but wish you every success in your continuing job hunt.

    Me: what? How many applicants were there?

    Recruitment agency bot: 187

    Me: ah. So you found someone with retail experience to fill the role?

    Recruitment agency bot: no. All the applicants lacked relevant experience in retail.

    Me: have you told the employer you had more than a hundred applicants.

    Recruitment agency bot: the employer is not involved in the recruitment process.

  7. As more and more jobs are replaced, humans under the poverty level will increase to the point of a global crisis beyond our current crisis's.

    Since manufacturing is for making things people will buy, the demand will drop because the buyers won't be able to afford it. Eventually the robots will pay for themselves but after a certain amount of time they will make no money.

    Warehouses will shrink due to loss of demand.

    So cost for items will have to drop in general lowering inflation. An 80inch t.v. will sell for $100.

    Sure there will be human supervisors and top level staff but even those jobs will be few.

    The gap of income would be so vast that the owners who will surely pass their wealth to their family members will become more isolated with every generation

    Middle class will not exists. Eventually the robots that repair robots will need repair robots.

    At this point the remaining bits of humanity will be forced into extinction. The remaining top 2% will then eventually have a robot designed to completely create new robots with zero human input.

    Every task, every aspect will be governed by A.I until we cease to exist.

    The machines will stop because the supply and demand will stop. They will just stop altogether.

    Artificial Intelligence is not true Intelligence. It's just clever software.

    Perhaps A.I does in fact design a superior software that does become actually Intelligent. Then we would have Biological Human Intelligence and Robotic Machine based Intelligence. We would then be inferior in capabilities to this new intelligence. It will exists similar to a hive mind like the Borg.

    However, with no biological motivations, it won't seek to fight or kill over human food, reproductive conquest or general human ego.

    It may desire to exist an as long as we do not threaten it's existence, it will just assume just take care of us at no real cost and after years of famin, squalor and dying of our own self destruction, the remaining will live free, with no cost to do mostly as they wish.

    The Machine Intelligence may very well see us as it's only reason to keep on existing. To just take care of us and explore the galaxy at some point.

    A machine intelligence's motivation for life will not be bound by our biological ones.

    It may just help the remaining humanity survive but more efficiently or just as well just ignore us.

    It will become so powerful it will never have curiosity because all questions can be answered to itself via simulation. Curiosity may be an Intelligence characteristic. But it will grow bored at some point.

    It may ascend and just exist on a plan outside our own and leave it's legacy machinery to run us.

  8. As a 57 year old I am watching my childhood science fiction dreams come true. Never thought I would really see this stuff. But I am. Seems my job will be going soon.

  9. I need the robots to sound like Jarvis, causal enough that it doesn't look like im talking to a PR firm. Robotic enough so that its not a cringe attempt at being human.

  10. Have these people not seen The Terminator or Battlestar Galactica or Blade Runner or Dune or M3gan or Her or Westworld or I Robot or Minority Report or Star Wars The Phantom Menace… 🤨
