Dr. Alexander Wissner-Gross

Maybe almost quasi-shame that the U.S.

robotics industry with all of these Chinese capabilities into stepping up to the plate and starting to distribute humanoid robots into the civilian sector and not just factories and not just military drones.

But it's all happening.

And this is going to be utterly transformative for the two-thirds of the U.S.

services sector that depends on physical labor, manual labor, and not just knowledge work.

How does someone come to that?

No, no, no.

So there was a bit of nuance to that.

It wasn't that robots aren't going to be around.

It's that they'll become so essential that the environments will adapt to the robots and the robots will blend with the environment.

Right now we go with, to Salim's point, Salim, your hobby horses, why do they need to be humanoid?

Why can't they be differently shaped?

I think Mark Cuban's more nuanced point was they're going to become so essential to daily life that they'll start to change the houses and the buildings and the environments that

to the point where they start to merge with the environments and therefore no longer need to be humanoid.

Yeah, they blend, they merge with the physical environment.

History will remember, Dave.

You really don't want to do that.

What's the song from Les Mis?

Never kick a dog because it's just a pup.

They'll fight like 20 armies and they won't give up.
