2 days agoI just don’t understand who the market is supposed to be for humanoid robots. Manufacturing? They’ve already built bespoke task-centric robots. Consumers and businesses? They can already hire a real person without spending money upfront to “purchase” said person. I just don’t see the use case. It feels like another metaverse or smart glasses. Just another desperate grab at investor money and trying to claim the next “big thing”.
I guess the point I was trying to make in my original post is - say we invent human robots tomorrow - what’s better about them than actual humans, which we already have an unlimited supply of? It just seems like a god complex thing to me, not really solving any major problems for humanity.
