The real axis of robotics is value creation per unit cost at scale.
This is one of Brett’s fundamental flaw in thinking. It’s not about “GDP per humanoid”
Figure plays a great theatrical game, but loses the plot in the process.
Current demos with BMW show package sorting, and part manipulation which were already being done with a single flipper and single arm respectively.
No demo they have shown comes close to requiring a fully human form factor.
Robotic form factors must come from first principles: biomechanics, energy efficiency, emergent capability.
Harmonic drives are not the final joint.
Feet are not the peak of mobility.
AGI and material science advancement will allow many form factors to outcompete in the many tasks of real world automation.
R3D3 will change the game.
The bullishness of “we have it figured out, we copied human” is literal Achilles heel we will strike to front run super abundance with class.
Brett like other leaders speak of all data from their bots “feeding their mothership” 🤮🤮🤮
(Watch the video linked to Brett’s tweet where he directly names their plan)
@spycrypto
Summarized our Robotic Declaration of Interdependence perfectly.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident:
✅That any code which governs human life must be inspectable by those it governs.
✅That black-box algorithms are a form of soft war.
✅That surveillance without consent is a slow genocide of free will.”
The fact of the matter is dishes, laundry, cooking for you and your children don’t need “recursive AI improvement”.
A “mothership” of constant data feed from your home robot is not a business advantage, it’s a control of humanity advantage.
Embodied AI capabilities will not be dissimilar to deep seek / Groq / Llamma 4. Open access, and capable of said tasks.
At Open Droids we believe privacy and sovereignty in robotics are not side principles. They are the central turning point for our species desired future.
The true threat is not automation.
The true threat is an unelected machine-state installed in the home.
Our mission is precise.
Strike the heel of centralized robotics and heal the world from systemic control.
The battleground of the greatest threat to mankind’s freedom ever created is being fought today
We will stop at nothing to ensure the narrative of aligning your family/household to a corporate-state mothership is so well known that the current leaders of this space heel to aligning with freedom.
Consumer demand is the real game here, we may have lost privacy our first go round.
WE CANNOT LOSE IT IN EMBODIED MACHINES
May the best story win.
