Trying to think of something that’s obviously a robot but also obviously not anthropomorphic or biomorphic. Projection resistant. Like perseverance and ingenuity seem like a camel and a dragonfly to me. Can’t help projecting.

It’s really weird that in the 80s robots were at the heart of sci-fi excitement but then went into a kind of recession. Boston dynamics stunts seem oddly detached from the mainstream. Disembodied cloud AIs hog all the attention.

Cloud computing isn’t AI gods. It’s just the robot back office for low latency compute needs. Bangalore for robots.

It’s ridiculous that typed or spoken human natural language is still how computers see most of reality. And presenting media streams on screens is how they mainly affect reality. Robots are the real endgame.

Boston Dynamics is to personal robotics what Xerox Star was to personal computing. Time for the Macs and PCs of robotics. Roomba is like graphing calculators or Wang word processors

The magic threshold. 0.1s.

I think situated collocation of sensing, compute, and actuation matters far more than people realize. Magical things happen when the closed loop latency goes under 0.1s.
