Time to sell my Tesla stock soon. Can't hold their stock during the droid wars.

Time to sell my Tesla stock soon. Can't hold their stock during the droid wars. 

I think all an aging and partially senile Bezos has to do when the Amazon Assistant droid is finally released is have his scientists include a hidden bit of code in the Amazon droids programming along the likes of "disable Musk products with prejudice when encountered", and the droid wars are suddenly a real thing!

 

It goes without saying that humans are expendable in the upcoming Amazon/Tesla Droid Wars.

No way. I will be a Toaster Killer. I a m building an EMP cannon as we speak.

Why do I want AI on my phone? What will it do for me?

Three top tech firms on Tuesday announced that they will create a new company, called Stargate, to grow artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States.

 

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison appeared at the White House Tuesday afternoon alongside President Donald Trump to announce the company, which Trump called the “largest AI infrastructure project in history.”

 

The companies will invest $100 billion in the project to start, with plans to pour up to $500 billion Stargate in the coming years. The project is expected to create 100,000 US jobs, Trump said.

Let me guess? Communism?

I find this comedic, not worrying.

Just get on with the robots already. How many decades do we have to wait for them to finally start stacking boxes.

While the robotics demos are amazing there is some show going on. Just like the Optimus demos. The Atlas demo is incredible not because it is nearly an autonomous Star Wars droid. They hint otherwise. It's that it CAN do that and move like that. I suspect it isn't doing that by it's own motivation. It is tracking a human motion/sequence specifically using AI and other amazing tech to allow it to compensate real time and balance etc to do so. People see the video and think it was just asked to dance. Far from it. Yet still amazing,

I feel like the industry has run out of ways to wow us and they are using break dancing sequences to get our attention.

It’s like a monkey on roller skates, 2025 edition.

All 100% programmed and operated by humans.

A.I. is comparatively useless without massive human intervention at every step of its creation and operation (this applies to A.I. across the board).

 

You're watching a machine demonstrate mechanical functions that a group of human beings programmed the various circuits, hydraulics, pneumatics, and servos to execute.

 

Anybody that thinks this is a "dancing robot" of its own devices is being deluded by a massive conglomerate of businesses attempting to convince consumers that "A.I. is here!", and it's really and truly thinking and doing things completely on its own!

I mean the thing arrived at the demo in a rolling road case, inside of which it was nothing more than a conglomerate lump of metal and plastic, until a group of humans took it out of its case and powered it up.

Human beings "turn it on", and then execute a short program, a program that's 100% written by humans.

 

And then of course when the battery dies after 10 minutes (if it even lasts that long), the thing goes back to being an inert lump of metal and plastic stored in a rolling road case - completely useless until another human comes along and recharges its battery, after which it's good for another 10 minutes of dog and pony show!

Absolutely. Full stop showmanship.

[Victoria Watcher]

There is no shame in training these things to act like humans.   Humans have thousands of years of evolution to make us really effective.

 

But each new human baby also has to learn how to use the natural tools they have been given.  That's what we are trying to get into these robots.  And get the learning down from 4, or 8, or 12 or 16 years to mere minutes.
