Sendex, is one of the best older channels for AI on YT; the guy that literally wrote the book on creating models from scratch.
He stopped posting regular content on AI model stuff after describing how to prompt AI to turn nearly anything into an interactive personalized tutorial.
Anyways, he bought one of the cheapest humanoid robots that can actually be purchased ($60k+) and posted about it on his channel. It is a no nonsense view of the state of this technology without any commercial interests or sponsorship of any kind, not even send-free-stuff bribery.
The colossal gap in software between motor controls integration and real world spacial interactions is probably a couple of decades away, even with an ever accelerating developer productivity growth. We will likely need local very large models to make this work. Stuff like a 5090 GPU should already be at something like 96 GB of VRAM, if we lived in an honest world. We would probably need 2-3 times that for a model that is fast enough for real time spacial interactions.
Silicon is stone age technology trying to replicate the greatest and final technological age to come; when biology is a fully constrained engineering corpus, long after the age of scientific discovery has ended. Humanoid robots is asking the Romans or Han Chinese to produce somewhere between a piston ICE and jet engine. A human brain is only somewhere around 100 Hz in a few different internal clocks, but massively parallel for the cost of caloric energy orders of magnitude less than present primitive tech, and is fully integrated into an elemental recycling system that is sustainable for billions of years. All present rare minerals are measured in thousands of years or less before they are fully depleted and outer space is the only option. Once there in space, fully integrated biological systems are even more essential for tiny sustainable terrarium like ecosystems.
There is nothing more toxically capitalist than the ignorance about our primitive state of science and place on the timeline. Biology is only in its infancy. One day, biology will be as easy to manipulate and program as Python, but that is many orders of magnitude more complicated and encompassing than anything humans have accomplished so far.
It is cool to see people working on the framework of robotics within a century of Asimov coining the term, but Daneel is a product of two scientists of Aurora, not Earth, and Musk is no Susan Calvin. I believe infinite cheap or free energy is a fallacy that defies the technological superiority of evolution thus far. It neglects the creation of infinite waste, finite resources, and heat.
