I'm not sure why some comments here are so pessimistic. I was grinning ear to ear while seeing the video. You're telling me we've finally got robots that can do our laundry? And the model is at least as free as beer? To quote the lyrics/meme, we used to pray for times like this . This is what robotics should be used for.

That last paragraph is particularly worrisome. I worry about other dilusions you have imbued.

My dishwasher is also super slow and bad at it. But you know what? I still prefer that over doing it myself.

Your dishwasher shouldn't be 'bad' at cleaning. Here are some tips: https://youtu.be/jHP942Livy0?is=B_CGi4shCuiwQLvR

It dulls sharp knives, and is very agressive to other materials too.

It's kind of crazy what goes on in that machine. It basically turns into a mini-Venus in there.

The pessimism in the comments here is entirely the reflection of the times we're living in. Technology got weaponized against the average citizen. It has become a synonym for unemployment, enshittification, mass surveillance and social erosion. If this video appeared in 60's or 70's, people would be in awe imagining the future where robots do everything.

Those of us who liked the open web and P2P and hacking on projects all the time are seeing these models as a way to rebuild the internet in a shape that pleases us. To build anything and everything we want. Sans opportunity cost. And that's the real value - you don't have to burn the candle of your life away to get what you want. You'll have so much more time now that you aren't AST wrangling. Opportunity cost is van…

So much time because you were fired and have nothing to do. Nothing is as good as oodles of quality time worrying about funding your family's needs. It's amazing.

I keeping saying this, the best AI / LLM coming out isn't another question / answer chatbot or automate my email and essay.

It is Robotics! Finally doing my dishes and laundry for pete sake! And hopefully help me to find stuff I keep forgetting where I put it.

Anyone have any recommendations for robot hardware where I could test this open-source model? It would be a cool/fun project to get it working on a little robot.

Until it can check all pockets for tissue paper...

> This is what robotics should be used for. I disagree. We should use robotics to extend our reach into hazardous environments, enhance our physical capabilities, or to provide a steady handling of things where it's absolutely needed - doing laundry in my household is none of these. Folding laundry takes me 10 mins every 10 days. I organize my closet once in a while according to my sense of fashion, and now I'll just…

You could replace "robotics" with "AI" in what you wrote above, and it would sound like what people were saying about llms when they first came out. Not trying to glaze one way or another but historically this take is outdated.
