Well, here, I do think housekeeping is a killer use case for physical AI.

Would you pay to see Cirque du Soleil with robots?

Like, yes.

Yes.

I want to see, I want to see Kung Fu trapeze swinging.

Spoken by like a compiler's guy.

I stand corrected.

But back on laundry folding for a moment, it's actually not far from being folded if you remove the time constraint.

And so the trick that's played, and if you look at the latest research videos, they'll say like, play it at 8x real time or whatever.

And that's for you to make it watchable.

So the question is, when can you actually reach human parity of performance?

That's further off.

Well, again, by the way, I haven't seen this movie in a long time, probably since it came out.

So my recollection of it is probably a bit incorrect.

Don't worry, the internet will correct you.

But I think Bicentennial Man has fully self-driving cars.

And it also has the housekeeping robot, which is played by Robin Williams.

And it's sort of like the friendly guy that will, the friendly robot that will clean up and also babysit your kids and stuff like that.

And it seems like it's in the not terribly distant future.

Yeah, the reason why it's, I think, so accurate is because the state of the art for AI systems is, like, these systems, they just need the occasional grounding.
