The part about robots doing backflips causes the robot to wear down faster has me thinking the whole “replace humans with humanoids” should be framed as comparative advantage rather than how many robots would be required to build itself. Given the number of humanoids required to replicate itself, you could take those same complex parts, rearrange them into non-humanoid configurations and have more output both in an interval of time and over the life time of those parts.

I wonder what they’ll name that nuclear disaster after…

Let me see if I got this right: Because use cases for LLMs have to be resilient to hallucinations, large data centers will fall out of favor for smaller, cheaper deployments at the cost of accuracy. And once you have a business that is categorizing relevant data, you will gradually move away from black box LLMs and towards ML on the edge to cut costs and also at the cost of accuracy.
