These robots are becoming more and more sci-fi than ever. What once took 10 years, is now accomplished in less than 1 year

[DanielJaems]

It's misleading to say this is OpenAi's robot. They are just an early part investor.

[prashanthmarupaka-bj]

Wow, this AI humanoid robot is amazing! The innovations in robotics are reaching new heights.

Why does it feel like I am watching a Dysion commercial when I watch that video? 🤣

[louiseviau]

I never hear about anyone discussing medical or personal assistant applications. I am partially disabled. To have a robot assist me would be an incredible addition to my life. Alas, people like myself will never be able to afford one of these. It would be wonderful to have physical assistance and an actual companion.

“We’ll never weaponize these robots. We’ll sell them to the military and let them weaponize the robots.”

[necromancer]

Oh' great! They've created the Cylon from Batttlestar Galactica.

[AnthatiKhasim-ie]

"SmythOS enabling no-code AI orchestration is revolutionary!"

[punk]

C'mon all they have is a CGI video....

[RamblinRick_]

Did you use AI to generate the narration? "Torque" mispronounced as "tor-queue" and "GROOT" pronounced as "G-R-zero-zero-t"? It rhymes with "root". WTH?

Thank you for the news about technology news and technology is going so fast

[owenduck]

The acceleration rate for this stuff is unbelievable. We don't have 10 more years of anything left lol.

[travisgoonan]

Why not give at least one of those robots weapons? I want to see a real life Hammer drone from Iron Man 2.

[futures]

'never weaponise' not until times change and a new contract is offered.

[mrthomasfritz]

"global labor shortages", is PC for people who will work for free, 24 hours a day, with no breaks and vacation.

[EmongTimothy]

Labour shortages? are we even breathing the same air or feeling the same sunlight.

[dominikpalusz]

just because i say that my product wont be weaponised, doesn't mean that the consumer wont.

[dguy-xkfc]

You start asking yourself what Honda has been doing with their bot that was in development for decades and gets surpassed in 6 months by some other guys.

[L]

Hmm, i could vision humanoid acting independently or controlled. helping humans when in need like as if another kind of government. 🤔
