alt Hacker NewsA drop in replacement for a human in the very long tail of useful tasks is worth a lot.
And it’s a winner take all market as the learning curve and efficiencies of scale will drive down the cost for the most general purpose form of robot.

It is not worth a lot. At the very least, not a single robotics has proven this by demonstration despite billions in funding over the last many years. In fact this is also true for a lot of non-humanoid "ai" powered robots.
Most tasks would me more efficient if not using a drop in replacement for humans. Rethinking the existing paradigms and redesigning the processes to be more efficient with non-humans would be more valuable.
