Agree ; got excited too soon.

was listening to Kyle Vogt about his new bot company and he described that folding laundry is sort of a frontier problem for robotics and we are still many ways out from there. There's solution from physical intelligence and probably other companies; but they are still fairly complex and not as easily reproducible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXbrt_2Fvgk

Still looking for the LLM moment in robotics

Con: a small chance it may take over the world and exterminate humanity.

Pro: can fold my laundry.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

haha - yes - sometimes when you look at all the Web 2.0 and beyond startups, all of the startups seems to be at least original founded to solve problems single people think need solving:

* finding good looking people in college

* sending dm's to other people

* carpooling with strangers

* crashing on strangers couches

* getting takeout delivered

* robots/drones that fight each other

* the meta verse

* the equivalent of digital beanie babies

Meanwhile automation to help out with stuff like laundry, dishwashing, cooking home cooked meals, other household chores, helping the elderly, etc. remain untouched.

The other things were easy.
