And...

Part of the reason I had done that video is I had been following that company for the book for the year.

So that was the second time I had met Neo.

And they were talking about how they were planning to release it, right?

And they were going to do these beta testing.

But I had met Neo previously to making that video, which was back in November.

And I mean, watching these robots do the things that are so simple for us is hilarious right now.

And so the reason I say...

First of all, I'm fascinated by them.

Yes, they're bad, but I'm really fascinated by how they get better.

And the way they get better, and I talk a lot about this in the book, is that they need more data, right?

We think about the chat GPTs and all the generative AI chatbots and the cloud codes of the world, right?

They sucked up years of internet data, right?

What these robots don't have are years of data and visuals of us folding laundry or us doing mundane tasks in our house like sweeping the floor.

And so now they have to collect all of that data in pretty funny ways, either by inviting a robot in our house and teleoperating it with a VR headset.

So it's fundamentally like a human remote control.

Or they have to record us.

take video of us doing ridiculous things.

You do not want to see us trying to fold laundry.

It ain't pretty.
