Elon Musk, Humanoid Robots, Not Useful? | Neil deGrasse Tyson

#neildegrassetyson #robots #elonmusk #future #irobot #selfdriving #dropouts #robotics Neil deGrasse Tyson explains on the Dropouts Podcast why the humanoid form for robots may not be necessary.

Humanoid forms of robots are greatly pushed by the porn industry.

U earned my subscription because u don't over entertain your clips. No nonsense background music on high volume no bs.

Thanks 🙏 ❤

Can robot help me prove that I'm not a robot on google captcha?

[thewritter]

Yup Tyson just told my thoughts. Everything we create to make our life better and easy is robot.

The human form is not very specialized in much other than running long distance, but i think it is pretty versatile. Using one robot for everything is less effective than specialization, but I still think humanoids are still good for general purpose. Quadrupeds are much more stable than bipeds but bipeds have arms without having more than four total limbs which is kinda convenient??

[lejlej]

The Sci-Fi imagined that the 'brain' of the robot would be so much more expensive than the rest. Therefore they thought that having one general purpose robot would be more cost effective than making robots of everything. The best form for such a robot would be a humaniform robot, but not necessarily a human looking robot. Everything is designed to be used by humans after all.
Their prediction is possibly quite wrong but we haven't seen that yet.
Self driving cars with feelings is actually a short story by Asimov if I don't remember wrong.

[TimeWizard]

Also keep in mind that if any AI were necessarily to go sentient because of the way we created them, they aren't necessarily going to look like people, making it even more alien for us to accept their sentience, leading to denial and probably violence on one end or another, probably more likely us against them.

[Chazulu]

The human form is directly or indirectly sufficient for one or more necessary inputs to use most if not every tool ever made. Sure, you can get a specialized machine to make coffee, or drive around, or wash clothes, but if any of those breaks, or requires cleaning or maintenance, then you would either need a (or many) specific robot(s) for each machine or fewer (a) more general purpose robot(s). The latter seems potentially more economical.

Philosophically, there's a lot to be said about perfection. Arguably, it's often an internally inconsistent idea, imaginary, incompletely rationalizable, and unrealistic. A way that it's often inconsistent is with respect to its' definitional inability to be improved upon, or even utilitariously maintained actively. For example, if you enjoyed the routine of gardening, bodybuilding, or some other task of improving or maintaining then it's possible that the physical limits of our reality could thankfully prevent such tasks from ever being fully completed and resulting in a "perfect" final state. There are of course other optimization problems and circumstances where the "it's about the journey, " philosophy does not imply an internal condition. There are many solved games like tic-tac-toe and connect 4 where one can reasonably claim that one or more "perfect" strategies exist without the concept of perfection leading to internal contradictions. It's worth noting tho, that these game examples each exist in a controlled environment that's entirely quantified. When it comes to scenarios and optimization challenges that involve human beings, it's possible (hopefully) that significant amounts of such optimization challenges can not be fully quantified, and thus can not be fully completed or perfected so that human journeys can remain relevant.

He says we don't need to create a robot to use our tools, but a robot that is a tool,

[dolphinboi-playmonsterranc]

It could be a box with a hole and that's all some people might need you know? Maybe it has other functions I won't go into detail about but they'll be happy with it.

[GBuckne]

..well I expect Optimus to be able to get in the Cybertruck, because I want somebody, I mean some assembled parts to talk to on trips, hahaha

[brionthomsen]

the humanoid robot is just an experiment in tech. the holy grail of humanoid robotics was one that can walk up stairs---there have been tracked robots that have been able to go up stairs for 30+ years. how many roomba's have been sold---we have robots all around us and none are humanoid

[granadosvm]

Roomba is a robot designed to give cats slow rides around the house.

[fluffy]

Am I the only one who thinks humanoid robots are creepy, especially with their dead eyes

[Fallen]

What we want is not a robot but an android....
An android is a human like machine that can do everything that human can

[voidtempacc]

The future is will be like the movie Walle

[unadomandaperte]

What happens when imagination runs rampant.

[md.huzaifa.]

Demna robot butler, hmm that would be cool 🤩

[Zeninoka]

You don't understand people don't want tools they want slaves

What’s with the tattoos? I mean, why?
Something is screaming in our present culture with millions getting all tattooed up.
Truly, what gives? Is it a lack of individual self confidence? What is the reason and motivation for American youth to want tattoos?
