Has anyone discovered if these gizmos were ever actually useful?

Probably some bullshit legal ties…?

Suddenly I don’t want HL3 anymore.

…how thick? õ_O

If robot why hot

Exactly, my first thought was “define ‘widespread’” and of course it’s not like the Jetsons…

Also a good test for how good Bluesky is at blasting that kind of crap.

We aren’t talking about floating ones like in “Wall-E”, even the one in the thumbnail could benefit from a better looking face without impacting functionality at all.

Will it be, though? Or will it be the thing that will be hyped the most in 2025? You know, since the AI bubble seems to be about to burst…

I really don’t understand how every fictional robot, no matter how minor or simple, is usually 100x better than the real ones, with ugly shapes and uncanny valleys all around.

Or something like the Skynet/Ultron approach…

Since the dual core my mom was using was spitting blood, I got her a Minisforum with a good Black Friday discount; maybe overkill for the web+mail she’ll use it for, but at least its future proof. And that’s in my opinion what they nailed with the original iMacs and promptly forgot: the majority of people just need something to browse, send email and little more, a little gaming, no AI… a midrange notebook or these tiny boxes would do all of that well, and for quite a long time.

Nomen omen…

The peculiar thing, I think, is that they did it outside of lab conditions, using something ‘common’ as a telecom optic fiber. But of course this wouldn’t have got as many clicks…

They’re not such a big threat if they still have to get to AGP stage…

“uuh, no… the ‘4G/5G’ is only part of the model number”

I bought a Philips one. Turned off WiFi cause my mom doesn’t use streaming much, and to get rid of those effing “accept cookies?” pop-ups. Every once in a while it suggests to connect to the network. 😑😑

Ykes. Awful ROI, I’d say.

You’ve answered what I was wondering… “Given how ‘good’ these AI turds are, was this robot any good? Isn’t it probably the reason the company is going butt-up?” I seriously hope the ‘specifically made for autistic children’ wasn’t their way to stand out among all the other toy robots…

And it’s even faster if you peek at others’ homework…
