even AI in robots doesn't work. either you get elaborate animatronics, or you get mechanical turks, as happened here with a tesla bot. there is no architecture here. it's all scaffolds and duct tape.

maybe let's try again after the next AI winter. the so-called future can wait.

@lritter think on the bright side, maybe it's a blessing that extremely life-like artificial slaves aren't a thing yet

@aeva yep. as @rygorous said many years ago: once the rich have their bots, what need do they have for us?
