A quick clarification: 3:33 to 3:58 of the cooking and the day in a life are all teleoperated, not behavior cloned. It was meant to be a demonstration on what teleoperation can do, and what behavioral cloning can potentially do with these teleoperated data.
I'm glad that it's seeming less likely the future will be a nightmarish dystopia where AI does all the fulfilling work and humans do menial labour. It's probably just gonna be a regular dystopia, which I'd honestly take at this point.
Humans are more energy efficient. You don't want them at home, but still in the fields after peak oil or cutting down on carbon emissions. They can even collect their own bugs and grubs for dinner.
Forget about the old cliche of the cooking robot suddenly gaining sentience and murdering its masters. What about a simple exploit some hacker finds to make it grab the butcher knife and start painting the walls with its masters’ entrails? I feel like the latter is far more likely than the former.
I really love the design of the bot. It's not a big , fancy humanoid but It approaches being actually affordable and useful for the rest of us. I feel like it could be built even cheaper with 3d printing, and by avoiding those aluminum support beams which are ridiculously expensive. I feel like with 3d printed gears, slower stepper motors, and some electrical conduit tubing, one could probably be built for around 5 grand. If I had the money, I'd be building one right now. I so would love to have a mr handy
@@kingofhearts3185 you wouldn't use plastic for the body, you'd just build it out of much cheaper metals. That fancy extruded aluminum costs like $100 per piece. Electrical conduit is just as strong but only costs $5. The 3d printing would be used to make the gears for the motors. The motors would be replaced with cheaper ones. It would be a bit bulkier, but just as strong and just as fast and capable. You might check out a RU-vidr called skyentific, he designed a super cheap, very capable 3d printed arm. But there are plenty of designs. It makes sense that these folks didn't focus on that, they were focused on developing the software, but it's fully possible to build a bot with these capabilities for 10 times less money, and utilize their great code in that
@@kingofhearts3185 hmm, for some reason it looks like my reply to you didn't post. The answer is, you wouldn't use plastic for the body. Metal Electrical conduit is just as strong and light as these extruded pieces, but costs $5 per section instead of $80. It's fully possible to build this bot for 10 times less money. It would be a bit bulkier, but just as functional I think.
@@jameshughes3014 Interesting, thanks for the info. Material science is such a funny thing, especially when 3d printing gets involved. I wish I had the means to test ideas like this as proof of concept.
@@kingofhearts3185 you should look up skyentific here on youtube. he's designed a fully functional cheap 3d printed robot arm that's honestly amazing. That's why I say it'd be bulkier though, generally with 3d printing you just make the part fatter to make it strong enough. but it works.
I am honestly surprised how much time and effort you invest in your videos. I really enjoy this "new" style with a focus on the interesting stuff with a lot of memes and short videos sprinkled in.
For trending AI sites, I feel like having an option for changes in weekly traffic would be useful- 24 hours is kind of a small timeframe, a weekly overview would be more representative of which sites are actually popping off imo
It’s terrifying yes, but it doesn’t have to be. What’s really terrifying is that no one is putting serious effort into what we’re going to do about the shift in labor in general. This could be a good thing if we prepped for it but no one takes it seriously until it’s too late.
it looks like Cooks, Spreadsheet guy, Document guy, Presentation guy, Unskilled AI Bros, gonna be the First wave to be Replaced. to the contrary, Programmer, Artists (Movie & game dev), Musician was still very hard to replace.
So if I understand this correctly, this is supposed to avoid a big problem where robotic actions work great individually, but fail when you put them together because of the jerky, abrupt switches between. So here, multiple actions are merged together over multiple timesteps into a single representation, and used to train a transformer. So it learns how to combine novel actions together. Am I right or totally off-base?
It basically seems to be similar to a LLM but with video (and instructions) as input and actions as output. It will hit the same problem : Hallucinations. It will believe the right course of action to be something totally wrong. And while with text it's overall no biggie, with actions, ouch. A great way to demonstrate it would be in VR tbh, with two simulated controllers and feed from the headset (and it would be even simpler than real life)
I feel like 90% of AI research papers I have seen have been co-written by Tony Z. Zhao. I don't know if I'm just confusing his name or not, but this guy really seems to get around.
I feel sorry for kids in school, with an outdated education system, their knowledge will be even more useless by the time they are out. Even learning a new language is getting kind of obsolete. They gotta learn the new technologies and critical thinking.
This really enhanced my sense of job security. As a programmer, my main Job is spamming Ctrl+C, so it seems like the AI revolution will only slightly impact this
Cool innovation that I can see much use for home use or prototyping but not really for production as there are already dedicated "dumb electromechanical machines" that already do the job but with much less variance. There's a reason why cooking robots are not taking over in restaurant chains, and that's because it simply costs more to maintain the electric part (high heat, moisture, oil) than just to hire an experienced human. The customer base I see at most is some influencer or people with too much money who wants a personal cook or assistant.
so youre telling me soon we wont need to exploit people locally, but they can just be some poor soul teleoperating in india while doing minimum wage jobs over here?
I ponder o.o If AI takes over most jobs, how will the government keep people getting an income so the economy doesn't fall apart? After all, the companies replacing us still need us to buy their stuff
that's the catch! though, ai could just completely remove the need for capitalism and we just go back to being traders of goods and services for other goods and services lol
Entirely suboptimal. You dont optimize specific tasks by mimicing a generalist(aka a human). Its like sayimg we should optimize making shirts by mimicing hand sowing. Its purely and entirely flawed. But robots look cool to investors, so great to scam them with. :/
