Question! Who's going to pay people to live and provide for their families if robots take over jobs. Robots will never be humans. Human like, yes. It take real life humans to put information in robots to work. Robots seem to work like computers with human like bodies. Such saying. Sounds great though

@@lindalucas7553 government will step in at that point with UBI. the safety of the families in question hinges on how government will respond to our new capabilities really, so your concern is totally legitimate. if government does not respond with UBI the people affected will be picketing until they do respond. as far as robots needing humans to function, i feel like this is becoming less and less true over time

This would be great if people don’t need to work as much but also people still need to eat. A UBI would need to be implemented as AI robots can replace most labor eventually.

The fear is that the money saved will simply go up hill as it always has, and regular people will still be pressured to get out there and work. Then they'll die in their room cuz nobody actually helped them. The way further off, but worse fear is that corporations will get so deluded that eventually they'll just be using robots to sell to robots who can watch 1,000 streaming services all at once and pay for them. And that money will become so insanely inflated that it will just be robots vs robots playing with hundreds of millions of zeros. And we're all dead. Despite me being someone who genuinely loves to see these people have passion for the science they do, I also understand the implications and why people are afraid. They are so clever but can't see what this looks like across a long span of time.

i was a wizzkid in school regarding computer science. i cant recall HOW MANY times we argued that technology saves us time. that is complete bullshit... progress and that includes it just helped us to run away faster and further from who we are. were ashamed of our humanity, or weaknesses that MAKE us human in the first place and enable connection to other people. were afraid to become ourselves and face true freedom - including some bitter apples that life has for us. we lay our future in the hands of guy who basically understand NOTHING about what i was talking about. i.e. well be hitting a wall fast.

The reality is for many people, we have to learn to love what we do not really love to have a job, to survive.

100% the goal is to bring more light on the companies and people building the future of tech!! Thanks for your comment, brightened my mood while finishing today's episode

Traditional media and it's patrons are going to have a deer in the headlights moment soon.

Will we ever have humanoid robots cooking and cleaning our homes in the United States?? And would they be affordable for a low income family?? ( A single mother of three kids like myself.. I mean.)

My first time here too

Let me change the title, just for you lol

@@s3_build you rock

🫡 thank you sir

@@s3_build Really great to see brand new small channels waking up

My standard is probably more shallow. I’ll be WOW’d by robots when they can wipe my ass and clean me up when I’m old and shat MY pants

​@@mogdor😂❤

Haha, very fair. But look at it this way: humans struggle to walk proficiently for a few years, they're not even physically in their prime for 2 decades! This robot is only 1 year old... give it some time :)

@@s3_build That type of walking gate is accessible even for robots from 70s-90s-2000s...

Honestly my standard is basically anime robots like astro boy etc. 😂

just like other industrial automations, the profits will NOT "free up time to do the things you like". It will make more money for the profiteers. Buy the stocks. History proves this as in the 1960's it took one income to afford a home (one "bread winner"). Now its 2,5 incomes needed per house (more than two adults working) and LONGER work hours per week are expected too

i´m in the robotics industry and that´s exactly what is going to happen.

It is very simple to understand. For years it has been discussed at the level of the rich that humanity must be reduced, resources are running out. Along with the development of technologies worldwide, solutions to eliminate people also appeared. Why do they want total automation? Because at a production line where 100 people were working, now 10 technicians are used for maintenance. The cost of the 90 fired people covers a large part of the initial investment cost and very soon the investment will be returned and the profit will be entered directly with minimal maintenance costs. The ideal situation for any investor. What happens to the fired people? they are absorbed in the economy as much as possible until this solution no longer exists. Until then, many will die from less known medical causes but treated with all kinds of medical innovations

What job do you do?

You will be replaced. You won't be needed

If you have a business that needs 10 people to operate and 1 person leaves every month and you hire someone new every month then your business would have “lost” 12 employees in a year and your turnover would be 120% since 12 people left but you need 10.

rogue humanoid robots when you cut their cord lol

Correct, it's a second wave of industrialisation. The first wave of the industrial revolution had huge effects on many industries and caused mass unemployment, it also shifted the power balance from the worker to the owners of industry, until unionisation and regulation intervened. Not sure what the impact of the second wave will be.

im pretty sure this is already a thing go watch the newest video and balance isnt an AI issue, its a robotics issue.

I just want a world where we have robot MMA, like the movie "Real Steal" lol

This bet is for 2050 (to beat the human champions). At the pace we're going it could be way earlier.

Check out Nvidia’s Omniverse, I believe Figure is using it to run simulations

This is the real question we should be asking.

yes, It is hard. But we will reach there in the next decade

Your example task is a good one, requiring an enormous amount of very fine dexterity and reasoning. I will be impressed when we get to this point as well. Meanwhile, a few months have passed since you made this comment, and now figure has released a new demonstration video that you've surely seen. I didn't realize it, but we are a lot closer to the toast-buttering than I thought. Still a ways off and significant distance to cover (recognizing crumbs on a table and wiping them up?) but moving quickly in that exact direction. Wow.

@@newjackvideo I have watched very carefully the latest "industry stunning" demonstration by this tech company to an audience always eager to believe. Nope. There's elements that simply don't add up. There appears to be some predetermined choreography going on here. Give it a couple of weeks and the flaws will out. We've seen this play so many times. NEVER believe a demo, a demo is an advert, it is designed to sell. I'm afraid we are still very far away from a bot that can butter a piece of toast to perfection like a human.

that would be awesome but its still impressive and these robots will only get better and better. no need to rush things. actually id rather they took their sweet time because i am honestly unsure of the effect these robots would have on society. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

@@Diamoondust They'll have the same effect on society as the robot vacuum cleaner. Virtually none. In fact less so because 1) they'll be too expensive and 2) the market will be relatively small. This idea that most will have an AGI robot in their house is ludicrous beyond further contemplation.

I imagine they'll do that over time, they got to this stage in just 1 year!

Increasing stride require changing gate from current bend-knee to stretched-knee gate, with tend to be very hard, especially with pelvis/trunk without many DOFs and fully flat foots.

This company is real.

It's got chatgbt in its brain

This is way ahead compared to Tesla Optimus

Optimus is certainly leading. With the OpenAI partnership figure is certainly second place

Nah, Figure is way smarter than Optimus.

@@JohnNy-ni9np Teslabot is built off a foundation of FSD. Figure has been spun up in the last year (And is still insanely impressive). However, I don't think intelligence is the important factor, scale is. Tesla has multiple large and established factories (and everything associated with that) that can add optimus production lines. Figure is starting from scratch. Both will be successful but Optimus production numbers will exceed figure by an order of magnitude or two

@@abcqer555 , Interesting. Well, that remains to be seen. However, I think humanoid robots need to be smart to be useful. Factories already employed tons of dumb robots in the form of robotics arms. They do specific task efficiency which Optimus can not match. Tesla has nothing near chatGpt at the moment and we don't know if they are able to catch up. And we ain't seen nothing about ChatGpt-5 yet. Manufacturing Figure shouldn't be a problem once funding starts to flow in.

@@JohnNy-ni9np there are open source models (eg Mistral) that are approaching the capabilities of chatgtp. Will be interesting to see how it turns out

Keep in mind this is a prototype they've developed in less than 12 months 😉

Very very impressive for such prototype! They will face the same problems with sourcing components for humanoid robots, that don't exist in the market, as did Tesla in near future. I hope they will get all the funding and talent they need, because we need more companies working on real-world humanoid robots! @@s3_build

It's like the Self-Driving car. DARPA / Google initiated that race where ppl with lots of money will fund "commercial research labs" to experiment in hopes that they are eventually a winner. DARPA / Boston Dynamics initiated this current race. The capitalists are more powerful than the government nowadays and research projects no longer need taxpayer funds so it happens in real world settings.

There are gears inside the motors that multiply torque. There could also be a dual system with two motors per joint. One weak and fast another strong (geared) and slow.

@@jimj2683 What? You mean like a motor with a clutch? Can you provide a name for such a product in the market?
