No, but the point is to get there, you need robotics.
This is my point.
Right, right, right.
This is the connection.
Right, right.
Because you need robotics to, if you can make a million workers in, you know, 20 days, and then those workers make factories that make more, that's when you truly go crazy exponential.
So like the only way to get to that is a robotics revolution.
Yeah.
the point is is that again going back like society is at a pretty fundamental changing point if you can have you know the thinking machines and the doing machines who are going to be more specialized than us humans who have all this like vestigial traits of millions of years of evolution that just aren't necessary for today's world yeah you know walking around with appendixes and
And then robotics builds more robotics.
I do feel like anthropomorphizing robot.
I get the argument for making robots that looks like humans because the world is basically built for humans.
But I think it's like a first cut, like trying to make that where you, I think it makes a lot more sense to make like factory robots, like robots who you could sell to a car manufacturer.
They can move around their factory.
That could, in one year, save them the cost of 12 of your fleets of robots you're selling.
Like, I feel like the winner of the robotics revolution will be the one who goes after manufacturing businesses first, not homes, for people who could afford it.
That's right.
And it doesn't do it that well.
Yeah, the addressable market seems very small versus, hey, I'm going to make a robot that can wheel around your factory floor.
It is, by the way, its torso can stretch eight feet to screw in that thing and then come down.
