         | was listening to Kyle Vogt about his new bot company and he
         | described that folding laundry is sort of a frontier problem
         | for robotics and we are still many ways out from there. There's
         | solution from physical intelligence and probably other
         | companies; but they are still fairly complex and not as easily

         | Still looking for the LLM moment in robotics

           | Pro: can fold my laundry.
           | 
           | Sounds like a good deal to me.

       | shocked to think they hadn't mothballed it and that it still
       | worked!

       | 
       | A lot has changed in robotics since then...

       | Now that OpenAI's CPO has been sworn into the actual US Army, how

       | these things through basic training?

       | stuff again.

       | Well the whole video gives a 2000 era apocalypse scenario movie
       | vibe. Is this just OpenAI trying to fit a square peg into a round
       | hole? Do we really need general intelligence robots at this
       | point? This is more poc than anything but still
