    Why the fuck does it have to have a robot body?

    What’s the point? Just make an artificial womb and be done with it.

    Just tacking on dog shit robotics just means it’s needlessly complex and has more fault areas.

    More dumbass tech shit.

      The answer is: gen AI slop.

      However, the obsession with bi-pedal robots is creepy and weird.

      I watched someone on YouTube talking about it but can’t remember the channel.

      Basically, there is no single task for which bipedal is the best format, it’s only suitable for the range of tasks humans can perform. However, we just don’t have the tech to make that format viable. As in, they can’t do the dishes or clean the bathroom or take out the trash.

      Demonstrations of bots doing those things are in tightly controlled environments with loads of programmed parameters.

      Its appealing because everyone wants a humanoid to order around, but that’s about it.

        The obsession with bipedal robots is great. It fulfills the urge to reproduce without having to reproduce. So once we have those, we can stop having children and end this stupid species.

          Thinking the stupidity meme won’t jump from one species to the next is just a lazy cop out, regardless of the species we just have to stop being stupid and there’s no one single switch that can be flipped for that

      So it can sit in those reserved places on public transport. It would be wasted space otherwise.

        you laugh but don’t the robo taxis make laps around the blocks empty just so they won’t have to rent too much parking space during down time?

      I’m guessing there need to be a bunch of sensors to monitor the foetus’s growth. I’m also guessing by ‘robot’ they mean ‘machine with some decision making and executing capability’ and not ‘machine that looks like a human’.
