I'm having some house painting done and the painter asked me what line of work I was in. When I said computer programming he said, "ooh, bet you're worried about AI! At least painters are safe!"

He "might" be but not any of his kids going into the business. The home maintenance bots will invade slowly, then all at once.

I want Rosie (fictional robot from the TV show "The Jetsons")

Basically, I want a robotic butler / maid that will do most of the cleanup around the house.

Unfortunately, the only robots available will be connected to the cloud, paid by subscription, and will gather a continuous feed of audio-video data from you and your home. And sometimes it will be teleoperated, and you might not know when.

I'd rather do my own cleanup, personally.

Cloud connected (robot AI in cloud) home robots would be very unsafe, due to network slowdown/outages. Imagine it freezing/stopping right after it turns on water faucet or stovetop.

I bet China will race to the bottom with cheap versions. 3D printers and LLMs, next home robots

Why would consumers settle for that? Local models have scaled quite quickly. Just pair the bot with a LAN server as the brain that keeps all your data private.

Barring that, choose bots that use Zero Knowledge Proof architectures for all data so you know there's no in/out of personal data, only security proofs. This makes rental robots certifiably private too.

They've settled for that in:

* Phones * Cars * Robotic Vacuums * Kitchen Appliances * Televisions * Home Lighting * Home security systems, doorbells, and locks * Web browsers * Operating Systems

So, uh, yeah, I'm pretty confident users will settle for that in robots too.

Haha! Instead, you’ll get a robot that will make you art, music, and tell you stories and you get to toil away cleaning the house.

“Sure I’ll clean up the house, Mr. J. While I’m doing, so have you seen the new shoes from crocs? They’re sponsored by the Jenners and have great new designs with all of your favorite movie characters on them! Would you like me to order you a pair?”

The first voice accessed (in my brain) by this dialog was Harley Quinn, it took a moment for it to fall back to Rosie.

I've spent ~$500 this month trying to get an LLM model to solve a Rubik's Cube. They can't. I'll post my Rubik's Cube MCP server next week if anyone wants to prove me wrong.

1. a human child learning 6 algorithms and a weekend can solve a Rubik's Cube

2. Reenforcement learning can solve a Rubik's Cube

3. The best LLM model using recursive tuning or not can't solve a Rubik's Cube.

Claude 4.6 got 60% of the way but couldn't figure out the last steps after running for 20+ minutes and hundreds of thousands of tokens.

I am not sure how to say it exactly, but right now we are in situation in which we are complaining that a magical technology is not magical enough.

No, we're complaining that a technology that's hyped as an expert-level replacement for humans is completely inept.

Given how many people attempted to date their computer after ChatGPT launched, I don't even want to imagine what this technology has in store.

People already pay shitton of money for silicon sex dolls and fantasize about robot sex online. Sex toys are connected to a network for remote control. As soon as a a humanoid robot becomes commercially accessible some will have sex with it.

God we are a horrible species.
