Oh finally! An ai robot that will do my dishes while I create art
That’s definitely not a sign that Softbank runs out of money
For Masayoshi Son, the Boston Dynamics exit looks small beside SoftBank’s current AI infrastructure campaign. The Wall Street Journal reported in April that SoftBank is forming Roze AI, a new venture meant to use artificial intelligence and robotics to build physical infrastructure, including data centers. Tom’s Hardware, citing the Financial Times, reported that Son is aiming for a $100 billion valuation for Roze and a public listing as soon as this year. That puts the $325 million Boston Dynamics proceeds in perspective. SoftBank is not walking away from robotics as an idea. It is moving toward robots as part of the AI buildout, tied to data centers, energy, land and construction.
To me that sounds like it might really be their plan. But it also seems like a shit plan.
They are already on the hook for such an insane amount of datacenter debt, now they sink even more debt into robots under the theory those might help with the first batch of debt? The timeline will never work out. Until autonomous robots are helpful on chaotic construction sites, maybe in 5 years at the soonest, the LLM craze will have gone bust.
It seems trivially easy to make a robot that worships the lord and unlocks blessings, sends prayers when those are needed (& regular folks are too busy) has anyone tried this?
has anyone tried this?
Yeah, a little bit ago: https://www.si.edu/object/automaton-friar:nmah_855351
keep up, chinese are waay ahead of you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_wheel tell the president about narrowing prayer gap immediately
yeah but are these steam powered? and do they produce kebab?
the turks have mastered engineering and they did it like 500 years ago. we will not top their triumph.
B
ALESSED
This is brilliant, assuming a deity who doesn’t mind outsourcing of prayers, and grants buffs!
Omg ok so this gave me an idea for a young adult novel where there’s a robot uprising and the guy who programmed all the robots is your average godfearing guy who loves Jesus and doesn’t talk back to his mom even when she’s a little overbearing and so anyway based on something his mom told him he decides when he’s inventing all the robots that he will put in a subroutine that makes the robots kneel before the cross and eventually somebody figures it out and tries to stop the metal ones from taking over but it doesn’t work and the guy figures it’s because they didn’t hold the cross as a “true believer” with real faith etc so in the end he makes a glowing cross and leads the people to stop the robots because he gets on TV and they see the cross and all stop their killing and kneel, but was it because of true faith or because the cross had to be glowy?(that’s the moral ambiguous part that the teens who read the book will discuss at their youth groups and stuff) anyway this idea will be huge like Left Behind series
Every religion ever.
What do you think youth ministry is for?
I don’t think we need to bring about robot religions and robot gods
we already have robot kebab. it is inevitable
Crumbs, I guess I din’t think about it that much
