No one here talking about the freaking humanoid bot?!?

Also interesting to see how focused they are still on pure vision input to construct the vector space instead of just using LIDAR, but I wonder how limited they are by existing models already being out there with set hardware.

What's to comment on? It's a piece of plastic with nothing inside it. You really think they'll have a humanoid robot by next year? Just look at Elon's face, he literally made up the timeline on the spot.

I was just about to post the same thing... like, I had to refresh multiple times and double check the comments if I were going crazy.

If you’re going to build a viable AI, and have a billion dollars to spare, and are a high functioning autistic fascinated with making classic sci-fi real, why not create a humorous robot?

Boston Dynamics has shown it’s viable. Cross their work with FSD neutral nets and see what happens.

I wonder if the focus on pure vision over lidar isn't related to the humanoid bot...

Of course it is. Elon has said that before. They use the human physics as a baseline of technology to mimic. If humans don't need lidar and can operate with vision, then they can do was the logic.
