I'm glad you made that change because the interface can't really solve every single thing. Most of what I do on my phone is read eBooks. AI can't inject the knowledge directly into my brain. Text on the screen is as good as it will get for the foreseeable future. Most of what I want to do in my home is cook, clean, sleep, and have sex with my wife. Software can't do any of those things for me. Most of what I want to do in a car is get where I'm going, which software control can arguably make somewhat easier, but the driving isn't really the pain point. The distance and traffic conditions are the pain points. AI can't change external reality, at least not yet.

Also, keep in mind that Robots will be scifi level in 2 years. Like, able to cook and clean with hands.

I'm not sure if we watched the same video, but I saw a robot fumble though a few mechanical motions with dexterity and speed of a toddler to achieve a few isolated, best-case tasks where all the hard parts were taken care of by a human.

Cool demo, I suppose, but nobody is going to buy this as anything other than a toy.

2 years. The point of the video is that robots are on the LLM train.

I'm hopeful that AI cars make renting one cheap enough that I can just rent an AI car the 0-2 times/week I need one instead of owning a car and all the time and stress on maintenance that entails.

What kind of junkbox car do you own? I have got to believe this s a totally subjective thing. From my point of view, my cars are probably the least stress-inducing things I own. My computer certainly tops the list of things that cause me stress.
