Is, yeah, a little weird.

Jeff says, normally Chinese robots have hands, but of course, I don't think any military is showing us the current models that they're doing.

Unless this is like a propaganda, you're so far behind.

There was a conversation happening after that spring festival video, right, of the of the Chinese dancers who were comparing.

The video was comparing 2025 capability and 2026 capability.

And a subsequent discussion talked about why.

China is so far ahead in terms of robots.

And it really kind of came down to, or the theory came down to, because China has the infrastructure to develop, like to waste, right?

Like there's so much infrastructure that you can be messy and experiment and iterate really quickly, right?

In the U.S., we don't have that.

In the U.S., we have infrastructure for model development, which is why they were saying the U.S.

models tend to be ahead because we have that infrastructure to develop and get messy and iterative.

I thought that was interesting.

And I want to do a throwback to an older sci-fi AI show because we covered the cockroach robot.

We covered the robot pack that you put on the cockroach.

Uh, but I, I feel like we don't see that now.

Right.

Like in the cockroach robot was, uh, I wish you and me were here.

I believe technically it was a cyborg because it was, uh, a living creature with robotic, uh, interface.

Um, and the, like that was gross.
