Have a look at the post - it explains how it works. There are two models: a 7-9Hz 7B vision-language model, and a 200Hz 80M visuomotor model. The former produces a latent vector, which is then interpreted by the latter to drive the motors.
> a 7-9Hz 7B vision-language model, and a 200Hz 80M visuomotor model. huh. An interesting approach. I wonder if something like this can be used for other things as well, like "computer use" with the same concept of a "large" model handling the goals, and a "small" model handling clicking and stuff, at much higher rates, useful for games and things like that.

#42Very impressive Why make such sinister-looking robots though...?

#43Imo, the Terminator movies would have been scarier if they moved like these guys - slow, careful, deliberate and measured but unstoppable. There's something uncanny about this.

#44There’s nothing I want more than a robot that does house chores. That’s the real 10x multiplier for humans to do what they do best.
What do humans do best?

Maybe I don't understand exactly what you're describing but why would anyone pay for this? When I bring home the shopping I just... chuck stuff in the cupboards. I already know where it all goes. Maybe you can explain more?
One use case I imagine is skilled workmanship. For example, putting on a pair of AR glasses and having the equivalent of an experienced plumber telling me exactly where to look for that leak and how to fix it. Or how to replace my brake pads or install a new kitchen sink. When I hire a plumber or a mechanic or an electrician, I'm not just paying for muscle. Most of the value these professionals bring is experience an…

This is called "watching YouTube tutorials". We've had it for decades.

Do you really expect the oligarchs to put up with the environmental degradation of 8 billion humans when they can have a pristine planet to themselves with their whims served by the AI and these robots?
I fully anticipate that when these things mature enough we'll see an "accidental" pandemic sweep and kill off 90% of us. At least 90%.
