    А мышей и крыс он сможет выловить в темном подвале при температуре -10?? Или хотя бы прибить их лазером или пулей и вытащить из помещения, что бы не запахло?? Тогда это бесполезный кусок пластика напичканный электроникой

    I don’t think robot pets is a replacement for a real pet. But robotic animals can be good for those who lives in houses where no animals are allowed or elderly people who have difficulties taking care of a real animal or those who suffer from allergies.

LLMs may have kicked off this AI boom, but the ceiling is closer than the hype suggests. As models run out of text data to train on, the companies and investors paying attention are already moving on. The next wave isn’t better chatbots; it’s machines that can understand the physical world.
