This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I wish that even one of them invested into something that would actually help the society instead
Their society is the shareholders.
I could be totally wrong, but these kinds of billionaire class investments sound to me like a big money laundering scheme.
Just like "art" investment.
Some of them are, lot of con artists are just scamming investors (e.g. WeWork). But ppl like Altman actually beleive they are changing the world for the better, why they also have the skills and the funds to do so - I think that is scarier
I swear to god how are all these tech billionaires that grew up as nerds not seeing what they are doing
“What does any man with power want?”, asks the Oracle in The Matrix. “More power.”
I don’t get why everyone’s always trying to build humanoids. It doesn’t need to have a human head and operating feet to be a good sex partner.
Sci-fi robots are still teasing the minds of many. Like hoverboards. And Mars colonization. Although many of them are pretty unpragmatic and consist of more problems that they'd solve.
Because they want to replace the complexities and pitfalls of human relationships with something compliant that they can fuck without it asking for anything in return.
yes, but at us a bonus and more options
I know we're probably far from that but damn I I just want a robot to do the dishes. That would honestly be valuable and I'd be willing to pay a lot for it.
Problem is this robot will probably be on some subscription and soon with ads.
"Hey Robot please do the dishes"
"Sure - but have you considered that you'd get cleaner dishes if you bought this detergent?"
If I could buy it once and own it though, that'd be great.
You know of the existence of dishwashers, right?
I want a robot to fill and empty the dishwasher.
Exactly. Not that I don’t appreciate the automation we have, but this is one of the domestic “last mile” problems - along with proper dusting and loading and folding laundry - that need to be solved.
This guy's in for a serious delight
They need to rewatch terminator
Finally A sex robot that can do all the crazy shit I want and clean itself up after seems a way better use of money than chat bots
The effing advertisement for an iPad at the end of that article......64GB of Ram. Lol.
9th gen iPads have 8GB ram. The 64GB is the tiny bit of storage it gives you.
don't forget to carry your No. 3 Robertson head non-slip screwdriver.
I'm glad to hear this and hopefully it fulfills my fantasy of having sex with Clippy.
I hate to give car example however do you see "legs" on cars/bicycles? Just imagine a running car.
I would say they secretly want to replace infantry however nationalist humans are cheaper to produce.
So what is this startup human-like for?
