And in the end the big reveal is, it was a dude in VR all along, piloting the dumb things remotely. Every single time, without exception.

I think it’s just riding off LLM coattails.

We don’t have good world models. We have had bipedal robotics in various POC demo-ready forms for decades.

It turns out that industrial, purpose build robotics is an easier and better market.

I’m still not completely convinced a robot that’s shaped like a human is the best design other than for PR.
