Spatial awareness is a big hurdle that is only making headway recently with the likes of Tesla bot. They're using the same tech they use in their cars and will most likely be the first commercial humanoid robot because of that. Boston dynamics robots move really well but all their movements are preprogrammed and don't react to the environment around them. If both companies were to work together I think we would see huge strides forward but theres not much chance in that happening.

I feel like you read the first sentence and nothing else. He pretty much said that when he said they might not be good enough yet and that's what's slowing down demand, which is making innovation slower.

I saw a video today that said there's a limit on how much high quality data there is to train the models on so we will have to use other techniques to upgrade them from there. That's the only thing I can see slowing it down but I think we will find workarounds like we always do.

Strawmans and extreme reaches. Nice arguments. As I said before we draw the line at when one person wants to do something that affects another person in a negative way. If someone wants to do something you would deem degenerate but it's done behind closed doors, all parties consent and nobody is harmed, and you don't even know about it, what's the problem?

What you don't understand is what this person explained IS the healthy balance. You are the one with extreme ideas, not them. The healthy balance is letting people do what they want as long as it doesn't affect anyone else. That means we aren't going to the ultra extreme and letting people fuck their furry robots in public, they have to do it behind closed doors.

There's a lot happening in the medical world all the time and it would take a bigger post than this to explain them all. One I can think of now is a new drug was released for cystic fibrosis in the past few years that dramatically increases life expectancy. Another big one is machines that can scan for cancers and infections are rapidly advancing. This one will save many lives and can even help fight against things like anti-biotic resistance.
