Billionaire investor Mark Cuban predicts humanoid robots will "fail miserably" within a decade: While most of the industry is racing to build robots shaped like humans, Mark Cuban thinks the entire premise is wrong. "I think everybody's making this push for humanoid robots. I think they might have a...

.Mark Cuban says humanoid robots won't last more than 5-10 years. Instead, we'll "design the house to fit the robot, and design the robot to fit the house." "You could create a house where the pantry, the refrigerator, and the washing machines were hidden behind the garage, if you even have a garage. That way you could redesign the house so that all the living space was for people."

Godfather of AI Yann LeCun reveals the humanoid robot industry's secret: the companies building the robots have no idea how to make them smart enough to be useful. "There is a lot of expectations that robotics is going to be a revolution, essentially, in a big market, eventually." "But the secret of the industry is that none of the companies at the moment that are building robots, like humanoid robots, none of those companies has any idea how to make those robots smart enough to be useful." "There's a big push for AI to make progress towards... understanding the physical world. That's what is prompting this investment." "There's nothing wrong with investing in LLMs. LLMs are useful. They're just addressing a completely different set of applications, really." LeCun is not describing someone else's problem. He has spent 15 years on world models, raised more than $1 billion for AMI Labs to build that missing intelligence layer, and in the same interview he calls 2026 the year of the world model and puts consumer robots 3 to 5 years out. Every humanoid robot demo you have seen is a body waiting for a brain. The winner in robotics will not be the company that shipped the body; it will be the one that ships the intelligence. - Yann LeCun (Yann LeCun), Turing Award winner and founder of AMI Labs, on Bloomberg Television.

ELON MUSK: "In the future, the robots will make so many robots, that they will actually saturate all human needs, meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for at a certain point, like there will be such an abundance of goods and services. There'll be more robots than people. I think everyone on earth is going to have one humanoid robot because you would want a robot to watch over your kids, take care of your pet, take care of elderly parents. I'm very optimistic about the future. I think we're headed for a future of amazing abundance, which is very cool. Definitely we are in the most interesting time in history."

Elon Musk: “When you make the robots, the robots will start manufacturing the robots, so you get a recursive effect It starts off very slowly, but then it grows at an explosive rate” “10 years from now, I would say there are well over a billion humanoid robots" "And those robots will be at least five times the output of a human And this is a conservative estimate" Meaning: • 1+ billion humanoid robots •~5× human productivity per robot • More combined output than all humans on Earth

Why Optimus OPTIMUS IS THE SUPERNOVA Most people still think the goal is a walking robot demo. That’s only the first robot. Elon has been clear: three things growing exponentially, multiplied, then the robots make the robots. “Humanoid robots will be three things that are growing exponentially multiplied by each other recursively.” “You are going to have exponential increase in digital intelligence, in AI Chip capability, and electromechanical dexterity.” “The usefulness is roughly these three things multiplied by each other, then the robots can start making the robots— then you have a recursive multiplicable exponential.” “This is Super Nova.” That’s why Optimus matters. You cannot scale labor by hiring. You need a machine in the human shape, then you need it to copy itself. One robot you build is the seed. Robots making robots is the destination.

Vance: I understand why people are worried that, you know, if you have a robot doing that job, does it take away from a blue-collar worker who could do that job? The evidence I see is that if we really lean in to robotics and technology, it’s is going to raise everybody's wages and make everybody better off. If you go back to when the automated teller machine was invented, everybody said it would destroy the jobs of all the bank tellers. What actually happened is that today you have more people working in bank telling then you did 50 years ago. I don't think we will ever eliminate the construction industry in this country just because you have robots. What you will have his a lot of construction workers who are using those robots, directing those robots

.travis kalanick on why specialized robots beat humanoids for real work: "I'm not anti-humanoid, I'm non-humanoid. There are tasks that are good for humanoids, low scale, high diversity, in human environments, humanoid all the way. But the minute you have a machine doing a high-scale task, we're no longer in humanoid land, we're in specialized robotics land." "There was a moment nine months ago where humanoids were the mega rage of all time. When your hairdresser says he's getting into the humanoid business, we know something's wrong." "If I had to make 1,000 pancakes an hour, I'd never have a humanoid do it, you'd need 100 humanoids going gg-gg-gg. It's like the humanoid Olympics in Beijing, they're doing the marathon and it's cool, but all I could think is, imagine if you put wheels on them. Would you ever put a humanoid in a car to drive it?" "High scale, repetitive tasks do not need to be in human form, and they won't be, because humans are meant to do lots of things at low scale."

ELON: EVERY OPTIMIST NEEDS AN OPTIMUS . . . OR TWO "Most people would like to have their own personal C-3PO R2-D2. I think humanoid robots will be the biggest product in history by far. You can just say every human is going to want one. Some will want two. There'll be all of the industry in terms of providing products and services. What's the ratio of humanoid robots to humans? My guess is it's at least three to one, four to one, maybe five to one. We're talking about 20, 30 billion humanoid robots." Source: Elon Musk, Mark Penn, January 9th 2025

Sam Altman says he’s excited about a future where signing up for ChatGPT’s highest tier gets you a free humanoid robot. ⦿ The mechanical engineering and AI for humanoids are quite hard but feel within grasp. ⦿ Making a billion humanoid robots will take a while; maybe the first million humanoid robots, built the old-fashioned way, will automate the entire robotics supply chain to enable faster scale. ⦿ The demand for humanoids will be far more than what we can handle with current supply chains. ⦿ Things we've tried to bring manufacturing back to the US have failed. AI & robotics is a potential solution.

This is why Tesla Optimus is going to be life’s “infinite money glitch” and people that understand this are going to make so much $, I don’t think $ will have a meaning when this is happening at scale. “I call Optimus the infinite money glitch. Humanoid robots will be three things that are growing exponentially multiplied by each other recursively. You are going to have exponential increase in digital intelligence, exponential increase in AI Chip capability, and exponential increase in electronic mechanical dexterity. The usefulness of the robot is roughly these three things multiplied by each other. Then the robots can start making the robots, so you have a recursive multiplicable exponential. This is Super Nova.”

My prediction is that there'll be, more robots than people.

If you have elderly parents, it's very difficult to take care of them. It's expensive and there just aren't enough young people to take care of the old people. If you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great. That would be an amazing thing to have.

Figure founder Brett Adcock: “We look at the distribution of what humans do that is useful, and we [designed our humanoid] to do as much of that as possible.” “These things where we run marathons, or we do backflips, or we do karate moves—they’re not in the main part of the distribution. They don’t matter. And if you really want to size for those, you’re going to build a really expensive and unsafe robot that’s hard to manufacture.” “People want the $10,000 humanoid that can do general-purpose work. We want it to do laundry and dishes and be a companion. I want to ship robots at scale into the workforce to do logistics and healthcare, and build buildings and data centers.” "I don't need [our humanoid] to do backflips to do any of that work. I want robots building other robots."
