(if the video player doesn’t work)
One last example :
Of course, any author of science-fiction warned about robots rebelling against their creators, right now LLMs have zero memory but it seems impossible to prevent a random engineer in h·er·is basement to create a rogue a.i., good luck to us
Washing: I’ll concede that one. But I’m not completely sold.
Door: a lot of newly made vehicles already have automatic doors that unlock when you get close. You can already build an automatic lock if you want to, it’s not even that expensive.
Vacuum: having a big ass humanoid robot walk around with a vacuum is ridiculous when you can just put wheels on the vacuum and let it walk itself around. The humanoid robot can move stuff, it’s true, but you can just put an arm on the robot vacuum.
Toaster: dude, you just complained about the energy efficiency of a washing machine, and now you want to toast bread on a stove? That’s ridiculous, just give it up.
Fan: I’m starting to think you just want the “thrill” of owning a slave
Fridge: Professor Layton is a game about a professor that solves mysteries and puzzles. Try it, it’s fun. 90% of people who played it as a child have shown improved mathematical and logical thinking, and packing skills (it’s not true, I made it up).
Wake on Lan already works. You just don’t know how to configure dnat.
The point is not that it is superior in all ways, it is that one thing can accomplish many.
Door, can be solved with other means, however the specialized solution only solves one specific issue. If the robot is not reliable enpugh, then it is not good enough to replace this.
Yes, wheels is superior to legs. So a specialized vacuum is better than a generic robot using an ok vacuum. However then we need an additional device.
Toaster, power difference is not that big, and the toaster often have one empty slot. It does not use remotely as much power as heating the water in a washing machine / dishwasher.
Fan: Haha, not really. It has been incredibly hot the last couple of days and I just saw the big ass fan I have, and though of robot solutions
Layton: I will check it out
WoL does work, it is however easier to just let a machine do it, than to set it up
