    Sure but the robots that extend our capabilities often start by replicating our current capabilities, even if those are as simple as folding clothes. It provides a baseline for the…

    This is the key though: it’s not just supposed subsidies, because the Chinese companies are fundamentally just faster and more efficient

    I’m convinced this is a joke by Ives cause there’s no way he’d approve that description without checking it had 90 degrees

    Off topic, but how do you operate without email? Is it not essential for many government services and utilities where you are? (Here, it is technically optional for utilities but i…

    For $0.70/call, why don’t you take the offer? Surely that’s extremely profitable for you?

    The Chinese labs would only go dark if they believe they’ve surpassed the American labs, otherwise what benefit is there to them to refrain from sharing the models? Better to have …

    30g? That seems like a lot - isn’t the standard dose 5g? Did you build up incrementally and find that to be the best?

    How does this compare to Automation Anywhere? They’ve been in the RPA market a long time but did a hard pivot to AI.

    Those days are long, long gone (15 years ago) for most of the US/UK/EU/Australia and parts f Asia. You require government ID to purchase which gets tied to the IMEI.

    I want to like Zoo but the rendering engine is so buggy currently that it’s not really usable for more than simple shapes. The text-to-CAD feature they highlight is slow and error-…
