TECHNOLOGY

Interesting post by @peteflorence who is a robotics pioneer. He triggered me by positioning against people who talk about technology like world models. But he is right. Where we are going with robotics is the interesting part. It is clear to me that both humans and robots will work and play together in a shared Holodeck. The nerds call them SLAM maps but they basically turn your house, or wherever, into grids of tiny cubes with a virtual display on each side. Like 1 mm cubes. Voxels. I can see these when I turn on my Apple Vision Pro. And the computer can change the display into anything else. I turn the knob on my headset and it changes my kitchen to Yosemite National Park. It can change the clothing on your robot too. Which gets to the point. A decade from now we aren’t going to care what is running the robot. World Model or whatever AGI-driven technology soon will come. Just that it does stuff for us and with us. My expectations are that it will do anything you can think of doing. Not there yet.
