#2Tesla can’t solve self driving, but it will produce a bot which can function in an environment which is a hundred times more open and chaotic than a road system? I don’t think so.

Psshhh they're only a few GPUs short of training this bot to drive the car for you. Checkmate!

#4Conveniently not labeled that the video is all at 4x speed. Using the “playback speed” menu to watch at 0.25x makes the human’s movements much more realistic and the robots movements much less impressive.

Honestly the stakes are a lot lower for a humanoid robot IMO. There's a lot of risk around releasing FSD cars on public roads as opposed to testing out robots in a factory / controlled environment.
I'm actually really excited about the current state of robotics, and wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being the most impactful outcome of the most recent AI developments over the next 10-15 years.
I know there's a lot of hate for Elon Musk / Tesla, but at the end of the day he's just the money guy for some really great researchers out there.

#6Is this CGI? The shadows and movements of the block pieces don't seem real at all. Almost like they're from the PS3 tech demo era.

At 0:40 I see the sort task has magnets on the blocks.
I'm curious, dropped out of state school economics: for robotics types is "sort blue and green" something you should be able to pull of as an undergrad, given equipment?

very easily. here is the lecture from my robotics course. Amazing professor. Dr. Sodemann was the best I had in my lifetime. https://robogrok.com/1-2-3_Cameras_and_Color.php
Its actually easier than you would expect! you can use a process in image processing called "thresholding" where you basically filter the RGB or color values. Its very common and a little "hack" on compute. Computers "look" at images or video by converting the camera data into large matrices. Red would be 1 matrix, blue another, green another. Instead of this, you typically convert it to black and white but you can do any color you want, depending what youre looking for. This reduces your compute from 3 matrixes to 1 and makes your functions exponentially faster. Someone can help me on O(n) notation lol.

that's ridiculous. sorting is easy, building a neural net that controls every servo/motor in a humanoid robot so that it can complete a given task while maintaining balance and posture is not. this isn't a simple control loop keeping the robot balanced while doing a hardcoded task.

Ok. Took a couple reads but I think I understand.
I'll put you down as a yes on sorting, no on self balancing humanoid robot
