I have said it numerous times in the past 3-4 years. I believe robotics ( not just humanoids ) will be a bigger thing / threat than AI. And currently China is at least 5 years ahead of rest of the world.

I make the same argument.

I think we'll soon see a robot arm that costs $2,000-5,00 and will be trainable/deployable in a single day. THIS is what will crush most labor around the world.

I would say specifically I think robotic applications of Ai will end up being the most economically valuable / impactful use case of Ai

Robotics and AI are not separate things

		Agreed, the hard part about robots is the controller. We have been able to build robot bodies for decades, but we still don't really know how to build a robot mind. You need better AI than we currently have for that.

		Robotics with ai is going to make automating office work seem like the warm up act.

		Yes, they are, robots have been driving modern manufacturing for over 50 years AI is newfangled technology

Worry not, Elon Musk has promised us that Tesla/XAI/SpaceX is is becoming a robotics firm and we will be saved by him. He is obviously to be truste.

		To be fair, reusable rockets and electric cars people wanted to drive were not in much supply prior to those companies. Then again, the boring company is probably only at a parity at best with other miners. I’m still not quite sure why we want humanoid robots and not something more useful or purpose-built.
