Robots and Future Technologies

The discussion on robotics and future technologies highlights both the potential and challenges faced by the industry. Many robotics companies have struggled to succeed due to high manufacturing costs and the difficulty in creating a product that is both intelligent and profitable.

"I think asteroid mining would be very cool."

Key Points:

  • Challenges in Robotics: Many robotics companies have failed because the cost of manufacturing and the intelligence of robots have not yet reached a level that makes them commercially viable.

  • Current State of Robotics: Most household robots are limited to simple tasks, such as vacuuming or providing basic voice assistance. The intelligence of these robots is still quite limited.

  • Future Vision: There is a belief that, like the personal computer revolution, robotics will eventually find its "killer app" that will make them indispensable in everyday life.

  • Tech Looking for Solutions: Technologies like VR and robotics are often seen as solutions looking for problems. They are fascinating but have yet to find widespread practical applications.

  • Personal Reflections: The conversation also touches on personal aspirations and the unpredictability of life, comparing it to surfing waves and allowing oneself to be carried by the flow.
