Now the labs say, okay, fine, robotics is hard, it might take a while, but let's try something easier.

We'll just do all knowledge work.

And knowledge work is basically anything that you could do with a Zoom subscription and a Gmail account and Google Drive account.

All this work that doesn't involve manipulating the physical world.

I still think we're not there yet.

There's a tremendous amount of work that has to be done even there.

But this is easier because everything that happens on a computer

it's easier to feed that data into an AI, right?

It's like all being generated on a computer.

You can run simulations, you can just run it millions and millions and millions of times, and AI is just thriving on data, right?

The more data you have, the better it gets this thing.

This is why it's so good at software engineering because there's all this code out there that you can train it on.

With robotics,

there's no equivalent of just billions of lines of code that just exist somewhere.

There's not these trillions of video files.

It's not just video files.

The robot has to feel itself.

manipulating the world and seeing the effect it has.

I've just described what it is.

Let me say what it would mean if that were achieved.
