  • The idea is that there is untold trillions worth of existing infrastructure and tools that are designed to be operated by humanoids, so the hope is that by designing it close to a human form it will be able to perform task in an environment designed for human without having to design a different robot for each task.

    Basically the idea is to create a robot that is good enough at doing a lot of things instead of one that is super efficient at one thing like the ones we use in industry right now.

    There are a lot of use cases, but they all assume the robots reach a certain level of precision, speed and adaptability, which we are still far from.













  • I used it to generate documents required by auditors for various ISO certification that few people read in full but still need to be correct in case the auditor decides to do more than skim it.

    Got some documents out in a couple of hours per doc instead of days, including a glossary made by feeding it back the finished document and telling it to make a glossary. I probably did in 3 days what would have taken me a month otherwise.

    Honestly it can be quite useful right now. The mistake is thinking it can do everything.







  • Having the legal staff and having the upper management from another country able to understand it at a conceptual level and integrate it into their decision making process is entirely different. One of my friend is a lawyer in France who specialises in helping US corporation handle their subsidiaries here. There’s not a week that passes without him being asked how to do something illegal here but legal in the US and the client being baffled and literally refusing to understand that they can’t.

    The main one being firing people, from the way he talks about it, he seems to be earning half his income re-explaining to the same people over and over that no you can’t just give 2 weeks notice and fire people at will just because you need a quick expense reduction before the end of the quarter to amuse the shareholders. It just doesn’t register.
