What are people missing about the dancing robot video from @UnitreeRobotics? Each robot is taught by humans. They didn't come up with the dance all by themselves. Maybe they will someday, but even the Chinese tell me generalized robots run by AGI are years away. Someone jumped into a motion capture system (OK, maybe just a camera) and did a dance. Recorded it. There are teams of engineers (humans again) working to make it all awesome and building the AIs that let it learn, and execute, the dance. And other teams who designed, engineered, and built the robots, along with the many parts that went into it. And built the factory that made each, and who work making each piece and assembling it. Then other teams that marketed it (which really is what the dancing is all about). And other people who packaged it, shipped it. Yet more humans who updated it. And more, still, who built the AI infrastructure and wrote the code (or at minimum prompted it). Thousands of people involved in making a robot dance. And when I watch the video? They did their job too perfectly. The humans dancing behind them are more interesting to watch. Why? They are imperfect and beautiful. It's why I'm not worried about the future of jobs. Each robot made will create many jobs. High paying jobs. Yeah, you might need to learn something new to get one of those jobs, but they won't be automated in 2026. That said, jobs are changing. I see it on X. So many new jobs get announced every week here. But they aren't the old kinds of jobs. I saw it at the autonomous car races in Abu Dhabi. Each car was driven by a computer. But behind the computer was thousands of jobs. Here's the German team that beat the human on the race track. Last year the human was 30% faster, this year the AI passed them. Trained by this team. Robots are the ultimate expression of humanity. Yet armies of humans hate them. Aren't humans funny?
