replyThe population on Hacker News heavily skewed towards tech workers so I wouldn't draw a conclusion from that.
The missing piece isn't smarter models, it's making them usable for normal people. OpenClaw proved there's massive demand for AI agents but the setup and maintenance is brutal. We built Atmita (https://atmita.com) from scratch, not based on OpenClaw, cloud-native so there's nothing to install. It can hit any REST API directly, integrates with 800+ services out of the box, has a built-in browser, runs scheduled tasks in the background, and has built-in approval controls. All through a chat interface anyone can use.

replyI wouldn't mistake this for any kind of capability plateau. There is a massive push towards making transformers the engine of humanoid (and other kinds of) robotics, we just haven't reached the hype moment for those yet.

replyProblem is that the fuel to get this train going relies on investors money. Investors aren't going to be happy with the quote I took from your message.
And that's the real bet really, can the industry turn the spark into fire before the investor money runs out?
Development towards those goals will continue with or without massive investor capital, see Google’s involvement with Boston Dynamics.
replyAnd plenty of very wealthy folks see the writing on the wall wrt robotics.
I have heard a CTO had a major success building a side project over a weekend.
replyIs that CTO in the room with us?
