In 2026 the Neo robot, the figure 3 and the Tesla bot are going mainstream in countries like America and I'm pretty sure other western countries.
What are your thoughts on it?
I also want to mention. I notice allot of people on Lemmy lack imagination about where this A.I. BS is going in society. They think it's far fetch for these AI to be more than language models. I'll let you know right now. That is not the case
While I believe that we'll see autonomous humanoid robots eventually, we're pretty far away from any practical version of that. What were much more likely to see in the next few years is fauxautomation, the 'mechanical turk' con, where the reality is the robot is controlled by a human.
And not only is a bullshity part of hype, it's also pretty worrying. Not just as a privacy and safety nightmare (do I really want a 'ai' robot servant who's really being controlled by some dude in a data centre in India?), but because I can see a future where people are fine with that. Just like we've outsourced shitty and exploitative factories overseas, while still enjoying the cheap production costs, I can see lots of assholes being fine with having a robot servant, even if it's being controlled by some exploited kid in a robo sweatshop. It's just outsourced slavery.
