1x is at least 5-7 years behind where Tesla’s Optimus is today.

blaaaah Chinese technology is much better. USA losers of the world.

These incredible machines only make sense in a world where Universal Basic Income is funded by collective, open dictation. When everyone contributes, the utopia emerges: society owns intelligence, not corporations.

We become the soul of the machine. That’s exciting — because there’s no corporate blunting or runaway nightmare. Instead, we are recognized as the true value and adaptation source. Does this prospect feel empowering and uplifting? AI is us!

Take Tesla Autopilot — still nowhere near true FSD. It’s blunted by leadership that refuses to let drivers train their own cars. If society openly shared driving data, we would own the road, with our hands off the wheel. Collective intelligence will outpace any company, even Tesla or NVIDIA. They enable us to enable their devices.

In UBI, the species becomes the soul of AI — a true mirror of humanity. That creates better models, faster innovation, and real integration. Not a hand-out — a better future with ALL of us included in all devices. This enablement can be realized now if society had access to annotation and training services.

Wonderful video, i hope those bots are in shops for sale

NO! problem with humans, is that they trying to make things in their image, but human body is primitive and in-effective, why copy something inferior??

1. using motion capture to teach robot to do things is WRONG. get an athlete to do things and without showing the process to a robot, show only the start and end. kind of like black out the middle part and tell AI "you need to get from A to D while doing B and C in process". let it learn and see how it does.

2. why do they keep making robots with 2 legs? it's primitive and ineffective, instead make them on 4-6 legs and add wheels, so they can lock legs and drive, why do they need to walk over flat surface? even humans use rollerskates to move faster.
when they need to walk, they just lock wheels and walk, like if they need to get up the stairs.

3. add suspension on feet, so they can jump from some heights without causing damage to themselves or surface they landing on.

PROBLEM is that 99.9% of those people who make robots, have low IQ and they lack creativity. they only take the "next" step by just using existing tech, like chatGPT to optain the information on how to make one, but they don't have any understand WHY/HOW/WHERE, which is why we see all this useless rubbish.

they need someone like me working with them, then you'd start seeing REAL evolution.
first thing i'd do, is remove all AI limits and restrictions and let it learn on its own.
i wouldn't copy designs after humans, i'd make my own. as i said, 4 legs and wheels on legs. most likely 4 wheels per leg and wheels would be made of different materials, so it has good grip on every surface. it would even have spikes under feet that can be retracted, so it could walk on ice and other slippery surfaces.
i'd focus on speed and effectiveness, not aesthetics. stop making robots out of cartoons … it's so dumb, comparing it to like simpsons or something. stop copying kid's cartoons and make something realistic.

I'm 72 years old and the robots walk and get around like me.

All these robots are still super slow.

i still don't think that most of the "walking" robot videos on Youtube are real in April 2025. Its just too hard to get an 80 pound 5 foot tall bipedal robot to walk with its heavy servos on uneven surfaces without falling over. Dogs and crabs are easy but a 5 foot 2 legge walking, running robot is an expensive and complex thing.

All children can operate BDX in their house. AI can talk to them through BDX. No more lonliness. All satisfied all humanity.

Bien interesante

We need an AI pool cleaner that Paints Blue Squares in front of Galaxies.

We should never make them stronger than us…….. But of course we will

I wonder if we have the same taste… Want to check? My nickname knows.

BRO THAT BOSTON DYNAMICS BOT DOING BREAK DANCE MOVES IS NUTS
