The 12 skills are - Flap open/close (oven door) - Slide open/close (drawer) - Slide in/out (slideable shelf) - Cap open/close (screw caps) - Pick/place (for relatively easy situations on flat surfaces, not bin picking) - Wipe "Wipe" doesn't have a reverse operation, and #12 is not illustrated. The main thing here is that the robot has much force sensing, and interpreting that data is hard. So they had people do this…

Still no nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...

I'm sure the team doesn't want to add competition to the dating pool.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

but then it’s over for you the moment there’s someone with 13 skills

Who of course, would be immediately obsoleted by the Chinese, who skip the unlucky number 13 and therefore have 14 skills. If by skills, we mean this is something we rely on as a profession, I'm happy to let the robot take these jobs. As long as I can handle tapping, scrolling, and clicking, I'm good to go. Edit: Or I can get better at Vim controls and toss out scrolling and clicking.

13 is only unlucky for Christians, because of the Last Supper.

14 is unlucky for Chinese, because it sounds like 'is dead'.

A talented Chinese Christian might skip both and go directly to 15 skills.
