I just wonder if it has the three laws builtin.

#142Their teleoperator position from 3-11 PM, M-F, pays between $22 and $31 an hour with benefits and is onsite in Palo Alto.[1] I'll be curious if they move those positions to a lower cost-of-living area as they scale up. 1: https://1x.recruitee.com/o/robot-operator
I'm wondering about teleoperation. Many housekeeping activities require an incredible level of attention to detail, precision, and real-time awareness. For example, consider manual dishwashing, small sewing jobs, knife operation, or repotting houseplants. Even if latency were not an issue, the operator would need to excel at all these tasks. By the way, we've had robotic surgery [1] for years. These machines are very…
You don't need flawless to empty a dishwasher, which simultaneously drives down cost and time

Personally it's the part where some rich dude in SV tells me he's building what sci fi says will save us time to focus on real things The irony and complete disconnection from the reality of 99% of people is quite mind blowing indeed
This feels like the exact opposite of disconnected? The last few years of tech have been full of keynotes with AI that can make art, AI that can send heartfelt messages for you, AI to make music, etc - All things people actually like to do and want to do. This is a $500/mo robot that can do household chores so you don’t have to. Many people in America (estimated >10%) spend a few hundred a month already on actually h…

It's a robot that will be mostly remote controlled by a wage slave to pick up your dirty socks, this is black mirror tier, not startrek tier.

> You don't need flawless to empty a dishwasher
That really depends on how demanding you are. For example, I prefer to thoroughly wipe the dishes after taking them out of the dishwasher (if necessary). This is a fairly demanding task in terms of motor skills. I suppose we all have similar discrepancies from what is considered normal or good enough.

#145I ordered one. They have nailed all the right things in my opinion: 1. Remote teleop with transfer learning 2. Quiet operation (nobody else is doing this) 3. Pulley based hands For that price, absolutely Plus I have epilepsy and live alone so this might just save my life
Wouldn’t something like an Apple Watch be much more reliable for alerting emergency services in case of seizure, given that fall detection is an actually advertised feature of it?
Maybe but an Apple Watch can’t put me in the recovery position

#146The hardware design seems to be quite good. The reality to me, there's no way they have a good LLM that wouldnt need correction every 30 seconds. Maybe in a few years they'll get there but they will eventually.

#148> For any chore it doesn’t know, you can schedule a 1X Expert to guide it, helping NEO learn while getting the job done. Is this a humanoid robot that's controlled by someone in a call center remotely doing your laundry? Putting aside ethical reservations about how much they are probably paying per task, that feels like wash and fold with extra steps.
Can't wait to see the first news of the elderly being scammed/robbed by and through their remotely operated AI helper robot.

#149Looks like a Dr Who villain and a Bluetooth speaker had a baby.
My first thought was that it looked like Isaac from The Orville.

I mean, I sorta do need that. If a dishwasher-emptying robot drops my favourite tea mug while doing it, that will be quite a significant negative against it.
