📍 Robot localisation is the deca-billion-dollar problem no one talks about. Every mobile robot needs to know its location to within 2-5 cm. Sounds simple? It's not. Current solutions force an impossible choice: cheap but inflexible, or smart but fragile. This fundamental trade-off is blocking the mass deployment of...

Nearly the entire valuation of Tesla, a $1.5 trillion stock, is based on this categorically ridiculous nonsense that could only have been said by someone who has no idea how humans, or robots, work. “ELON MUSK: And actually, my prediction is in the benign scenario of the future that we will -- the robot -- we will actually make so many robots in AI that they will actually saturate all human needs. Meaning you wouldn’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. My prediction is there will be more robots than people. LARRY FINK, Blackrock: But how do you then have human purpose in that scenario? MUSK: Yeah. I mean, you know, nothing’s perfect, you know. But I mean, it is a necessary -- like you can’t have both. You can’t have work that has to be done and amazing abundance for all. Because if it is work that has to be done, then you -- and only some people can do it, then you can’t have abundance of people. FINK: It is narrow. MUSK: …who wouldn’t want a robot to, you know, assuming it is very safe, watch over your kids. Take care of your pet. If you have elderly parents, a lot of friends might have said that, elderly parents, it is very difficult to take care of them.” Who wouldn’t want a robot to watch their pets, or parents, or kids? Uhhhh. I haven’t done a scientific poll, but I feel pretty confident that actually almost no one wants this—except mentally ill people who don’t care about other human beings at all. People with no empathy. People with psychopathic personalities who feel that taking care of their own families is a burden. Moreover, what Musk describes—production of at least 8 billion robots—is literally impossible within any of our lifetimes, even if the technology existed, which it does not. It is pure fiction, as is his asinine concept of “abundance.” It’s all a techno-futurist mirage to conceal his insatiable quest to remove the pesky humans from every equation—an incandescent self-hate turned inside out and amplified by almost a trillion dollars.

this is the world's first ever humanoid robot that will summit Mt. Everest it's named Pemba, and two days ago it reached the top of Chimborazo, a 20,000-foot peak in Ecuador, completely on its own (no remote or operator). and the robot itself is nothing special. Pemba is a Unitree G1, the same ~$14k robot anyone can buy online right now. the guy behind it, Pablo Berlanga, is doing this to send robots into the places that kill people. think about how you'd check on a melting glacier or a deadly crevasse out in the middle of nowhere today. you either send a person who might not come back, or you skip it and learn nothing. so Berlanga wants a robot that walks in on its own, carries a few pounds of gear, and brings back footage from places no human can safely reach. i think eventually they'll even be used for robot rescue missions to reach people stranded in disasters and dangerous situations from here, the plan for Pemba is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, then Everest. Everest is the tricky one. the team wanted to send Pemba up this spring to start hauling trash off the mountain and tracking its glaciers (something Nepal genuinely needs help with) but the Nepalese government told them to wait. there's no law in Nepal for a climber that isn't human, so the rules have to get written before a robot can set foot on the mountain. kind of incredible that the machine is ready for Everest a full year before anyone's decided whether it's allowed to be up there

I asked the server at this sushi place if the robot servers stole her shifts and her answer surprised me. a few years ago they brought in robot servers. The boss started with 1 robot, cut the staff from 5 to 4. From day 1 the robots were a mess. They can basically only deliver drinks. They get in the way. The 4 remaining servers felt about 20% busier, like the robot made no difference. But the kids LOVED them. Adults posted videos to social media like I'm doing right now. This grew their business in an unexpected way. Today they only have 2 robots. Zero shifts replaced (she says). But the robots still deliver drinks and the restaurant is busier than ever. Conveyor belt sushi is brilliant. Familiar to Japan for decades, newer to the US. The more plates you grab, the more prizes you win. Gamification in real life. What this restaurant did is genius. Talk about a flywheel: - Conveyor belt drives social media virality, increasing sales - Robot servers drive social media virality, increasing sales - Gamification drives average order values (The food is pretty garbage BTW, but my kids love the concept and it's a tradition for us) The server was hesitant to admit this, but after working out the robot kinks it sounded like there would be more human shifts today if not for the 2 robots. How many people order drinks JUST to see the robot? They didn't replace humans on a 1:1 ratio. But 1:3 or 1:4, yes. AI and automation will add much more in efficiency and productivity than the jobs it takes. A huge net win.
