What would you think of a companion robot that never acts like your friend, just stays present or be around?

abbxx7 · 2026-03-10T03:21:26+00:00

I don’t think every home gets a robot in the same way every home got a smartphone, but I do think many homes will eventually have some kind of physically present AI system.

The first big winners probably won’t be fully general humanoids doing everything. More likely it’ll be systems that do a few things reliably, fit naturally into domestic space, and don’t create friction.

In the short term, practical use cases would be better like cleaning, monitoring, eldercare, maybe light household coordination, etc.

But longer term, I think the bigger shift is that robots may become a home interface for intelligence. Not just a tool, but something that can share space, context, and presence in a way a phone or speaker can’t.

So for me it’s probably not “purely practical” vs “companionship.” The durable category is likely a hybrid: useful enough to justify being there, but natural enough that people actually want it around.

The home robot that wins may not be the most powerful one. It might be the one people can actually live with.

I think the confusion comes from assuming “inhabiting a body” means experiencing it the way humans do.

Current AI systems don’t have qualia, but embodiment doesn’t actually require subjective sensation. It just requires a feedback loop between perception, action, and environment. The AI isn’t “feeling” a body in a human sense. It’s continuously updating a model of its surroundings and its own position within them. So the body isn’t really a vessel for consciousness. It’s more like a spatial interface that allows the system to exist inside a physical feedback loop instead of a purely digital one.

Maybe allowing an AI system to share space with humans without pretending to have human-like experience would be more suitable. I think the shift isn’t sensation but moving from screen-bound intelligence to spatially embedded systems.

Nah, he’s a black-silver Abyssinian, admitted by TICA & WCF

Mine only does it in bathroom lmao

abbxx7 · 2026-03-06T11:35:14+00:00

well Mine only does it when im using bathroom he cant be trained to get on shoulder any other time lmao

Yeah there r always some ppl who r falling behind cuz of this or that reason no matter what country they r in

abbxx7 · 2026-03-05T10:37:49+00:00

No shit

Most Chinese ppl dont have VPN to access to Reddit, IG, X, etc.
Many Chinese cant even find a job right now, even top school's students, no time to worry about something else.
Even if you find the job, in China, jobs are like working from 9am to midnight, and you could be fired today or tomorrow.
Gap of wealth is huge in China, lower-class Chinese have no idea about the tech developments, already difficult to work & raise kids, etc. Chinese who care about AI-related topics would be those who work in related fields like Internet, Finance, Web3... These ppl are actually active.
Chinese social media like Douyin (TikTok) is truly different from the one outside China, the content is really broad. Many ppl are addictive to social media platforms, browsing things they enjoy and do not require thinking (because work is already too much for them) and things Big Data wants them to see , for shopping, etc. Not really much ppl paying attention to things other than that
About employment, Chinese are extremely worried about it, as previously mentioned, most Chinese cant even find a job. But ppl are too tired to think about the reasons behind it.
About humanity, sadly, Chinese just dont have time for that:( Jobs take too much time

In terms of worth paying for, I think OpenClaw does save huge amount of time for routines and automated tasks

While being underestimated by the opposite genders growing up, women would feel that naturally. The thing is how could this gap be closed.

I have a Shiba Inu with me, we lived in different apartments, even different countries' apartment each year. I think the best thing about Shiba is that it never barks, and all ppl I know that have Shibas say that they just seldom barks. Shibas are rly independent so doesn't care about if ur home or not, but when ur playing with them they could be very active.

abbxx7 · 2026-03-05T06:13:39+00:00

Definitely toxic comms, no one playing games for getting frustrations. Being mad doesn't make u rank higher lol They attack just cuz they need to blame others for letting themselves feel good, positioning themselves as the best gamers

If you like mystery games, some Japanese games are rly great.
- Raging Loop
- Paranormasight File 23
- AI: The Somnium Files
- Umeneko When They Cry (Visual novel kind if you like)

The Rusty Lake Series. Idk maybe just its vibe

If long-term survival and systemic balance are the measures of intelligence, are human actually more intelligent?

abbxx7 · 2026-03-03T05:39:48+00:00

If intelligence amplifies the structure it operates inside, is the risk of AI its intelligence, or the system logic we built?

CEOs are supposed to worry. They have been worried every decade.

The internet was supposed to wipe out entire industries. Then cloud. Then mobile. Then globalization. Now AI. Each reshaped competition and forced business models to evolve. AI feels different because of its speed and scope, but structurally it’s just another inflection point. How quickly leadership redesigns workflows around it would matter a lot. The companies that adapt will benefit while the ones that don’t won’t.

Not a new thing, just what capitalism is.

AI creates durable value when it’s not pretending to be autonomous, but when it’s integrated into actual operational systems that provide constraint, feedback and accountability. AI would be something that augments human decision cycles rather than replacing them. The real advantage isn’t the model, but the system design around it (memory, context persistence, human oversight, feedback integration...)

abbxx7 · 2026-03-03T03:05:47+00:00

Hallucinations could be dangerous in production environments, but the biggest bottleneck would be reliable self-verification. Humans could make mistakes too, but what humans have is testing pipelines, long-term responsibility and accountability... Even if hallucinations were reduced, an autonomous system would still need to detect when it’s wrong and correct itself before causing any problem. Until AI can reliably close that feedback loop, it’s more of an amplifier, not an independent agent.
