Tens of thousands of people are paid by the minute to film their housework, to teach our habits to humanoid robots. These videos aren't made for an audience, but for a machine that will one day do the housework for us.
On September 17th, Figure AI's robot was released into 30 homes it had never seen before. First version: 9% success rate. Second version, trained on videos of ordinary people: 56%. Same robot, same motors. In 10 days, domestic robotics has taken a dramatic turn: the race for the next home robot is now happening in our kitchens.
In this video:
• how a humanoid robot's brain learns by watching humans, and how OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra came out on top against 40 other robotics programs (in a simulation);
• Index, the Figure app that pays its users to film their chores, and the Chinese centers where our gestures are recorded;
• Tesla Optimus: Elon Musk announced thousands of robots at work, a year later he admits to zero. Why hands are the real obstacle;
• Robots on sale today: UBTech U1, 1X Neo, PrimeBOT Q1;
• When will we have a robot that does the housework?

La, dans ces vidéos je vois des situations de catalogue Ikea...
Effrayant...
Si c'est la même galère que les voitures électriques et leur ordi qui plante dès qu'il aperçoit des marquages au sol non merci.
Et je ne parle même pas des "divagations" des voitures autonomes!!!!
un jour il y aura l'abolition de l'esclavage des robots...ils seront ''libre'' de travailler pour gagner leur ''vie'' et leurs pièces détachées...ils devront payer leur loyer, leur énergie, leur entretien, et leurs impôts etc etc ...et ils se prendront des contraventions sévères pour non conformité ou autre pièges à cons ….. ….et enfin quand ce temps là sera devenu possible, les esclaves humains seront définitivement remplacés (éliminés) par des robots dociles … et enfin les grands bourgeois auront la paix et la jouissance de toute la planète...il ne leurs restera plus qu'a découvrir un moyen de devenir éternels ….et pourquoi pas transférer leur conscience dans des robots en plusieurs exemplaires …. ….et voilà ….l'humanité aura disparue ! …. et les animaux sauvages diront: « ha bin c'est pas trop tôt ! » 😅
