    I think robotics and maybe even implants and stuff like that will arrive

    We’re definitely seeing progress. But it’s more progress in scale than technique. The little delivery vehicles you’re seeing running around town are the result of 5G+ Internet giving abysmally paid remote operators in The Philippines and Indonesia real time access to navigation in NYC and LA. And we’ve built factories that churn then out faster than any pizza business can recruit new human drivers.

    You don’t need a $25k/unit NVIDIA GPU to operate one of those.

    Its a bit like Tesla but actually knowing their stuff.

    Tesla got big off the back of rapidly falling battery prices and the sudden spikes in gasoline.

    The autopilot shit isn’t driving their business. Dirt cheap lithium batteries are what make them money.
