Welcome to Science Friday, Joanna.
voice-verified
You're welcome.
voice-verified
Okay, tell me more about why tech companies want this different approach to AI.
voice-verified
So a company like Amazon that has to move a lot of stuff around could really benefit from this kind of robot.
voice-verified
And so d is is video very helpful?
voice-verified
Is that what we're talking about here?
voice-verified
Well actually watch your video.
voice-verified
Uh I I saw your your video doing that and it looked very interesting and and a and of course as you say, to train the robot it has to see physically what you're doing with your hands.
voice-verified
So that it could tell the robot what to do with its hands.
voice-verified
You know, if I were to go backwards engineer things, if I were a Luddite, I might say, you know, instead of a robot trying to do this, my fifteen year old will do this for next to nothing, don't have to teach anything.
voice-verified
Why go with a robot on this?
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
And that brings me to I'm glad you brought that point up because I'm sure there are privacy experts who are not thrilled about people sending thousands of hours of footage inside their own homes.
voice-verified
How do you see this panning out?
voice-verified
Do you do you think this model is gonna catch on like the large language models did?
voice-verified
Or do you think this is just the beginning?
voice-verified
I mean, folding a shirt for five minutes has a long way to go.
voice-verified
All right, that that's a good place to end it, Joanna.
voice-verified
Good luck in your research.
