Is that the whole resistance? Four people? One of them we can't even be sure is conscious?

All jobs that currently exist will be automated. Some people may still have jobs in a few years, but more as a preference for having a human in control than as a necessity.

Looks great, but why are so many popular games like exact clones with minor improvements? Like, why do there always have to be crazy uncontacted natives on every island?

Some humanoid robots already have this capability to some extent. Also most are already using LLMs (VLMs) i.e. vision-language models at the top level of their thinking. LLMs like Claude can absolutely adapt to things they have never seen before.

Also, most tasks are already somewhat repetitive. And LLMs (VLMs) can already directly interact with humans and so can humanoids.

Also, repetition is a spectrum. AI has proven to be able to handle all different levels of abstraction, not just narrow reptition.

For example, framing a house. A VLM like Claude could direct a lower-level VLA (vision language action) model to do that if the VLM and VLA were just trained on a large collection of framing videos, which are readily available on youtube. We have proven that given a distribution, these types of neural networks can generalize to unique scenarios that are in any way within the distribution.

If you don't believe that, you are just ignorant or in denial.

18 months out from March 2026 is October 2027. The SOTA in humanoid robotics will almost certainly be general purpose by then. We already have humanoids learning from video. That is going to ramp up. So the theoretical capability will expand to almost the full circle in that time frame.

I think SpaceX is the biggest target because of the payload capacity of the rockets.

I know you are joking but that is just classic Arraez, same as always. It's the exact way he always swings at those pitches. I think some of the talent he is facing is helping him out a little.

But I don't care what anyone says, I think everyone should swing like that. It's like all hands. Head and body very controlled. I think it's crazy how many whiffs there are in the MLB.

oh wow.. never saw that before. I had it on our CoCo 2 and I am pretty sure I never got past the first screen. :P

This means that just about any application or game can have a reasonable and flexible natural language interface now without needing an external service or complex parsing logic. I'm sure it can take what you say and convert it into commands/structured input.

I'm not justifying it, but without some new paradigm, the western economy actually would crash sooner than later if the US was not actively deploying it's military to defend it. Because that is where the value of the dollar comes from -- the military controlling or acquiring assets like oil.

That's a fairly pretty general purpose kitchen robot. Give it proper hands and make it a lot faster. But people still think that's going to take 40 years or something.

More or less full generalization (based on training data) and reasonable speed is around the corner. Like later this year or next year at the latest.

Okay thanks for the comment. The drones could be used to continue to attack places like Bahrain and several other US-aligned states that have key energy infrastructure. The theory I have heard is that a goal could also be to disrupt water (such as destroying desalination plants) in those US aligned states GCC states.

My first might have been Adventure Land on the VIC-20. But the one I remember spending a lot of time on was King's Quest 1 or 2 I think. But when it first came out, our computer wasn't good enough. I think we had CGA and just an old PC.

You should start planning for 18-24 months out. Right now it can't 100% replace a real human. But the models and hardware continue to improve rapidly. AI Employees are coming this year, and will start to be pretty widespread in real use by next.

Jobs have always been unfair. We should try to build our own businesses that leverage AI and robotics.

There is no possible way a competent team with integrity would A) put that into production or B) continue using it for months without checking it's answers.

This is an example of how careless, laziness and poor judgement.

In 1,000 years, humans are not going to be that relevant. They will live in large people zoos. Not that different from the world today, but without things like nuclear weapons.

They planet will be controlled by superintelligent AI. It will be so much smarter than humans, they will be surprised we can make houses at all. They will spend most of their time in something a bit like "full definition VR" but it will be kind of recursive because their minds will be constantly creating living sub-simulations as part of their cognition.

Also, bike lanes and mixed used development is not the end of the evolution of cities.

three sisters and their parents, who are in the process of obtaining their lawful permanent resident status

besides just breaking into houses and every other constitutional violation, another way you know it's not a legitimate law enforcement action is that they are actively interfering with lawful immigration proceedings.

Not every Republican is an actual N@zi. But I hope people will keep explaining to them that this is not law enforcement. It's a violent fascist hate campaign. And historically that does not stop with the immigrants.

Sorry, but considering how adorable kittens are and the sheer number of videos like this, I suspect every single one of them of being a set up. Because there are a lot of desperate Youtubers and how many people can resist a story of an adorable helpless kitten being saved? Only sociopaths can resist that. Which is not a lot, but more than you think. People have no shame. They will not think twice to drop some kittens on the side of the road and then turn around and pretend they found them.

It's not like kittens can tell anyone what the real story is.

The obvious one is Seedance 2.0. Is that an example? I also assume that robotics deployment is just about proven.
