Future life of code janitors: Who checked this in? A.I. Who designed this? A.I. What does it do? I don't know..

@calvinfroedge Even funnier r the people who say the US is insulated. Hormuz doesn't affect us because we an oil exporter. We get literally everything around us from somewhere else. Then they ship it 2 us w/oil. If Taiwan is hurting - WE are hurting. Magnify this by all the countries affected

The people trying to crap on Hormuz noticers for being "wrong" because the market is at all time highs are like people saying a mass shooting is fine because it was sunny outside Hormuz is a disaster, but go ahead, keep talking about the weather You propagandist fools

@BrianRoemmele I have two robotic mowers collecting dust in my garage right now. How many of ya'll still using your roombas? Robots were made to be slow and repetitive. In every case so far humans can do this work faster, which is why real world is very far away. Manufacturing yes, homes - ?

“Meta acquires robotics Al startup as it makes the push into humanoid machines” Everyone will join the Humanoid Robot party. Ultimately the company that has the most open source options will capture the hearts and minds of the masses.

@nic_moneypenny Unoriginal

🚨US HAVE BEGUN PRODUCTION OF 100K HUMANOID ROBOT ARMIES POWERED BY INTEGRATED NVIDIA AI BRAINS IN CALIFORNIA 1X has announced the start of production of intelligent humanoid robot fleets - with a target of 100,000 units by next year Powered by NVIDIA chips, with integrated AI brains, the first robots will enter homes from the firm's manufacturing plant in California Does anyone else find this terrifying rather than exciting? Is the humanoid robot rebellion takeover just something we see in sci-fi films or have we knowingly developed a new advanced and intelligent digital enemy? It's bound to be controversial so please let me know what you think Would you have one in your own home and would you leave it to look after your children while you are out? @GodSawUs @IamVictorPerez1 @BrianRoemmele @Scobleizer

@BLB_Genome @BrianRoemmele What this guy said a million times. Robots were made for manufacturing. A consistent environment. Houses are NOT that.

@BrianRoemmele Don't be so gullible.. General Motors has been using robotics for at least the last 25 years. My father was in machine repair. Aka, fix anything that moves in the plant, including robotic arms

“They just show them dancing, they can’t do any real work…” Hmmm “Car Company Puts Human-Like Robots on Their Production Line”

@MarwaEldiwiny I hope the company knows we are tired of unboxing videos. Like really bored of them. We loved it 10 years ago. Now its like nails on a chalkboard.

I’m a bit confused by the focus on shipping. What can it actually do? Show a single, uncut real-world demo. Branding is nice, but people want to see real usefulness. How many households can afford a 20k product? Early adopters, sure. But mass adoption will take time...

@unusual_whales People should be excited for the world ahead of us, but these old phonies on Twitter think scaring people for twitter bucks is the right thing to do. They suck.

@unusual_whales Large accounts could post about how robots are going to help humans in manufacturing, but they don't have any current work experience - so they can't even figure that out and it doesnt pay their rent. They all post exactly the same shit word for word. It's evil and sad (cont)

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: “The narratives of AI destroying jobs is not going to help America: it's false."

@BonkDaCarnivore You also don't seem to understand how datacenters work. Many are transitioning to a closed loop system. Your knowledge is a decade old. Additionally - Why do people need to work in datacenters? Go.

Mike seems to not know how datacenters work, so allow me to tell you: The employ almost no people. Back in my VC days, one of the companies we had under our wing, by necessity, built out 2 massive ones for data processing. We're talking damn near a city block big. Each one, aside from initial construction, employed less than 50 people because of remote hands & paid almost no taxes thanks to municipal and state level tax breaks to bring the facilities to bear. Today they would need even fewer workers. That was over a decade ago. Today, the story with these AI datacenters is largely the same, with one big difference: Now they get sweetheart electricity/water pricing, subsidized by the local residents. Meaning these AI datacenters actually cost the local populace hard money out of their wallets. Actual photo of one when I toured it below. Note how it's not exactly abuzz with workers.

@AlexIljaszewicz @CyberRobooo TY. I just feel like one coffee spill is going to make it look ragged over time.

@snarkolepsy @CyberRobooo It's washable but to what extent stain-resistant/repellent? and you can customise its outfit too

The left one’s the boss. lol Two adorable NEO humanoid robots made their debut at Milan Design Week. This is NEO’s first appearance in Europe.

@Dan_Jeffries1 @tyillc This is exactly what I've been screaming about for a week. All these wall street guys making these absolutely retarded posts. They are making an already depressed workforce feel hopeless! Its not right. They suck.

Jensen is one the smartest and most far seeing folks the world. "If an AI scientist warns people that AI is going to permeate across radiology and radiologists are going to get wiped out, it might seem helpful but it's hurtful. If we convince everybody not to be radiologists and we now need radiologists, that actually is hurtful to society. "It is hurtful to convince all the young college graduates not to study software engineering because we are going to need more software engineers than ever. That's hurtful." "Scaring people with nonsensical things, which are not going to happen, that this is an existential threat, there's a 20% chance that is is existential, that's ridiculous. "That it's going to wipe out 50% of college level jobs. "That is it going to completely destroy democracy. "These kinds of comments are not helpful. They are made by...CEOS. And you become a CEO, maybe you adopt a God complex and somehow you know everything." Brutal. And right.

@BrianRoemmele If anyone is wondering why ur feed is wall 2 wall robots, its because whatever CES displays in JAN. makes it 2 market by summer. Flat screen tvs,curved tvs,transparent tvs. If they r displaying it at CES, thats what the market will b flooded with that year. Guess whut 2026 was.

The vast scale of robotic systems is an individual liberation. YOU will own and deploy the means of production at scale and locally. While other run around in fear you and I are building the new world where once acquiring the tools… WE BUILD.

@nathaps_ @PTrubey It's not just the space. How much does that stupid box add to the cost? But also - even rich people frown on having a box one third of the size of a car - doing nothing but taking up space.

@snarkolepsy @PTrubey If you buy a Neo, it's because you have enough space at home.

1X really does have good design taste. And here the CEO tells us how a home robot should be shipped. He’s 100% correct.

@wholemars Don't tell anyone

San Francisco is actually really beautiful. The zombie apocalypse is really only in one small part of town

@Cernovich You're trolling right? Because the land is more expensive.

If data centers are so good, why don't Big Tech executives put them into their own neighborhoods.

@LLMpsycho @Scobleizer @ethankongee @BerntBornich Very funny comment.

@Scobleizer @ethankongee @snarkolepsy @BerntBornich Hayward is basically Palo Alto’s garage.

Introducing NEO Factory | Hayward, CA Scaling manufacturing was always the plan- but after receiving 10,000+ preorders in the first 5 days, we accelerated everything to urgently increase production capacity to fulfill demand. In just 3 months we built America’s most vertically integrated humanoid robot factory, right here in the Bay Area.

@merlinscapital Good because you certainly do not believe this right? It took cell phone adoption 20-30 years. Computers 15- 20. All these bullshit posts are making people fearful in an already horrid job market. It's not right. Just so you can pay your rent. STOP IT

@snarkolepsy The people want me to run for office. I have no ambitions however.

Unequivocally, we are at the end of an era where jobs may be ending. It also partially explains the collapse of birth rates. Not enough jobs to go around. Only a few may survive.

@MarwaEldiwiny Honestly... I would believe it more if I saw it walk one old person around one block. Until they are able to do a simple task like that, its doesn't matter how much kungfoo they do.

This is cinema… it feels like the director finished filming at Figure and jumped to 1X… It would be cooler if you showed us some real data, wear and tear, limitations etc. It feels like these production films are not needed.
