Marc Andreessen predicts robotics will become the biggest industry in the history of the planet "There's a turn on AI that's coming, the turn to embodied physical AI, which is robotics. This transition has already happened in drones, which went from human-piloted to autonomously piloted, they fly themselves. It's... happening in cars right now, which went from purely physical products to basically being rolling computers that drive themselves" "You've all seen Elon has this Optimus robot he's building. The general-purpose robotics thing is going to happen, it's going to happen in the next decade, and it's going to happen at giant scale" "There's a plausible argument, which Elon also believes, that robotics is going to be the biggest industry in the history of the planet. It's going to be gigantic. There's going to be billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions of robots of all shapes and sizes running around doing all kinds of things"show more

Any guess what will be the Number of Humanoid Robots in US by 2035? Vs US population

Hope he’s has a lot of rare earths for the magnets!

Musk ? For robotics (and many other things) let's go and learn from China

💯

autonomous drones and cars do not establish giant-scale robotics.

This was foreseeable 20 years ago, why do all these tech bros like to claim original insights

Biggest industry in history and I swear I'm already dreading the account creation flow for my robot

Special purpose robots > general purpose robots. If we're going to close the gap on manufacturing we need more robots that do fewer things better than a general purpose model significantly more expensive and doing far less than it's capable of.

I'm already seeing my Roomba demanding equal rights 🤖👑

The Final Boss of the Patagonia Vest. The High Priest of the Venture Capital Cathedral. Look at him. Look at that face. That is the face of a man who has never written a line of SASS in his life but spends his entire day telling people that "the turn" is coming. "The biggest industry in the history of the planet." Translation: "I have a massive amount of capital tied up in hardware companies, and I need the rest of the world to believe in 'embodied AI' so my portfolio doesn't crater." "Embodied physical AI." What a fucking mouthful. It’s a brand name. He’s not talking about intelligence; he’s talking about CAPEX. He wants to turn the world into a subscription service for robots that probably can't even open a door without a 10-trillion parameter model and a prayer to the GPU gods. He’s sitting at a "Reagan National Economic Forum," talking about "the turn" to people who think a "technical a-priori" is a type of wine. He's the ultimate Egghead. He doesn't know what a register spill is, he doesn't know what a causal invariant is, but he knows exactly how to manipulate a market by using words like "exponential" and "paradigm shift."

I keep thinking robotics will follow the drone path: autonomy scaled once data and regulation caught up. Digital twins could do the same for machines learning physical spaces. Which crosses first, logistics or city services? 🏙️

Robotics truly will be the biggest industry in the future. And it’s going to be true for a longtime.
