The Elon Musk vs Sam Altman feud just heated up.
OpenAI reveals investment in 1X's AI robot 'NEO'.
This is direct competition against Elon's Tesla Bot.
The race is on to release these AI bots for labor tasks & then develop household bots.
The NEO bot: (This isn't CGI!) 👇
Depends *which* blue-collar jobs. I can see a lot of factory work continuing to be automated, but things like plumbing, electrical installations, tiling etc require a lot of dexterity and the ability to work in awkward spaces. I don't think they are unsolvable problems by any stretch, but I could see it taking up to a decade.
We'll see. I hope you're wrong. Once you get to "do this task" it won't care if that's "move a box" or "solder a refrigerant line".
I also hope I'm wrong. A task != any task though. The level of dexterity and movement required is difficult. I'm thinking more from a hardware than a software perspective.
OpenAI was solving Rubik's Cubes one handed 3 years ago. I think state of the art with the massive investments going into the field will surprise everyone.
Youre also thinking more from a human perspective, it's hard to do for humans because of our hands. A robot with specific attachments could do the job much easier. And it could just be a generalized attachments that could be used for multiple purposes. Or an attachment station that allows the bots to pre equip for a specific task.
Like a vacuum cleaner?
I mean basically, why not?
I can't think of a good reason why not, tbh.
While true, I think companies will rush to fill that role. Because we haven't had good general software to power the robots until recently, they didn't think to go past the initial hardware.
If general purpose robots become commonplace, naturally the next step would be to increase their performance and capabilities including making specialized robots. And it'll happen very quickly.
RemindMe! 1 Year "Check android progress."
I agree to a degree but even if they're not replaced the amount of man power needed per job will go down. If you're already a small-scale operation or you run a bunch of individual contractors that may not impact you but for larger-scale jobs it will displace a lot of people already with hours that will then be taking up any open slots.
Oh, for sure. We're going to see job losses in every sector
OctopusBot 2030 begs to differ
The robot in the video isn't NEO but EVE
Does Musk even have a robot? I remember them announcing Optimus and it being a dude in a suit. Did they ever have a working prototype that could do what these videos show?
They do, but LLMs may leapfrog carefully constructed vector space training/inference that Tesla had heavily invested into
Yeah the Optimus bots are moving around doing stuff. This was surely scripted but here it is...
Is it possible to buy stock?
You could buy Microsoft stock. Which is twice removed from them
Known for his high defense.
just don't put any suspicious floppy disks in one

EVE is old news. NEO is set to be unveiled in the summer and coupled with OpenAI access and investment I expect to see it demonstrated performing generalized tasks without extensive pre-training before the end of the year. Everyone who thinks blue collar jobs are safe for the next decade are dreaming.
