Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I'm not saying I believe they can do it, or that even they believe they can do it. I'm saying that's the profit motive behind why they're trying to develop humanoid robots. If any of them can be "the first" to making ones that can use tools and spaces designed for us, they'll immediately get into "disrupting" labor markets etc.
