    Lol! Dude. It isn’t “already happening”. Where are you hearing that?

    And are we still talking about humanoid robots, or are you talking about drones and automated roller carts? Because they do have those, but there’s no way they are able to repair each other or build more of themselves. What they do have, is as I said, very task-specific and non-intuitive. If even one variable is out of place, the whole system goes off the rails, and an actual human being is required to put things right again.

      No, I’m talking about automonous humanoid robots specifically. The rollers and shelf bots have been around for years

      NVidia also just released a big suite of tools to train AI for robotics, it’s basically a huge physics sandbox where you can train and test models at scale before real world testing

      Boston dynamics and others are currently writing/lobbying regulations for bipedal robots so that they can meet safety requirements - current safety standards require an emergency shutoff switch, but bipedal robots fall over if they don’t balance, which isn’t particularly safe

      This is happening, and quickly. None of them have the dexterity to machine parts, but the range of tasks they can do is rapidly expanding
