Some interesting points right at the beginning relevant to recent on-stage demos by companies including like Nvidia and Tesla.
- Product lifecycle has a realistic timeline on order of decades going from research lab demo to a realized commercial product. He first saw demos of driving cars arriving in 1979, yet we still don't have Full Self Driving in 2025.
- @2:35 "Humanoids they're everywhere and what is it doing. The form of a humanoid is promising that it's going to be able to do everything that a human can do. And it completely fools VCs. A lot of people's pension funds are going into all these robots and its not going to end so well."
Rodney Brooks states he's built 4,500 humanoid robots in his lab.
