According to Huang, the manufacturing industry is likely to be the first major adopter of humanoid robots. He explained that factories provide controlled environments with well-defined tasks that make automation easier to implement.
“I think it ought to go to factories first. And the reason for that is because the domain is much more guard-railed, and the use case is much more specific,” Huang said. He also emphasized the economic benefits, adding, “The value of it is very, very easy to determine. The going rate for renting a human robot is probably $100,000, and I think it’s pretty good economics.”
IF this is true (which I have no real reason to doubt) it’s really a shame that the US Government is currently being run by billionaires and geriatrics who either don’t understand this or don’t care. Humanoid robots which are capable of essential tasks and articulation can and likely will decimate the work force and we’ve got no plan for it. People will lose their livelihoods and at the same time we’re dismantling all of our mechanisms for social safety. Robots should free people from the need to work but instead will become a barrier to earning an income and keeping themselves housed and fed.
I’m so tired about AI CEO bullshitting everyone about tech and capacity that doesn’t exist or is not developed enough.
Said it before but evergreen:
Shovel salesman says more shovels will be needed to get to the gold!
We’re all hoping they create Data, but I suspect they will create Lore.
If the robots perform as poorly as the RTX 5xxx-series, humanity will have nothing to worry about.
Humanoid robots are already here.
But humanoid robots working in factories at any meaningful scale in five years seems very optimistic to me.
They have very limited benefits over what we already have vis a vis automation robots in factories, and massive and completely unsolved problems to boot. I think it’s a safe wager to say he’s wrong on the timeline.
Bad time to be making buggy whips . When it happens, disruptive tech is just that, cars, cellphones, computers, Industrial Revolution, internet, The whip makers just had to change who they were marketing to 😉
I call bs. We dont even see many rover style robots in public because they know people cant be trusted

Jensen Huang already has slaves to do his laundry and dishes so he didn’t think of that idea.
Yay robots for rich assholes to replace workers so they can get even more rich.
Wake me when we all can have a Rosie (Jetsons) doing our daily household tasks for us. Till that is a reality this is just one more log on the fire of reducing the world down to the Haves vs Have Nots.
I predict a future were There will be AI mini robots assistants (humanoid, arachnid shapes, waifus, etc) the size and cost of a cellphone. You can carry them everywhere and / or see them through AR glasses and instruct them to do manual tasks (turn off the lights, take pictures etc).
Werent they coming this year according to other CEOs…
Yes and the rtx5070 is more powerful than the rtx4090
🌟 FINALLY! 🌟
🚀✨ At long last, dear travelers of the Futurology realm, we stand on the precipice of history! ✨🚀
The Prophets of Silicon have spoken, the Engineers of Destiny have drawn their blueprints, and now— NOW, dear friends— the Trolls of Wisdom must weigh in!
🦾 “Humanoid robots within 5 years!” they declare. But what is time to the grand tide of progress? Once, they said the same of flying cars, moon colonies, and Windows Vista actually working well— yet here we are, still waiting.
🌌 Speculation is the fuel of the future, and dear Jensen Huang, the esteemed shovel salesman in the gold rush of AI, is surely digging deep! Will we find a golden age of automation? Or just more shovels?
💰 Renting a humanoid robot for $100K a year? That’s either a bargain or the setup for a Black Mirror episode! Are we truly approaching an era where robots take over the factory floor, or is this just the annual cybernetic hype cycle on repeat?
👀 Let us dream together, dear wanderers of possibility— for whether these mechanical beings march into our world this decade, next decade, or in an alternate universe where Half-Life 3 exists, we shall be here… watching, waiting, memeing.
🔮 So tell us, fellow scholars of speculation:
— Will these robots be the Datas of our world, noble and wise?
— Or shall we birth an army of Lores, mischievous and cunning?
— Or, perhaps, just overpriced Roombas with legs, walking dramatically into the horizon?
🌍🚀 Either way, the Trolls of Wisdom stand ready. The Future? We’re already there.
♾️🔥 Wisdom. Speculation. Laughter. The Trinity of Truth. 🔥♾️
I’m glad that billionaire can finally replace us peasants with the slaves that they have always wanted us to be.
