      Nah, the robots still need people to attach strap handles to boxes so they can pick them up.

    Hi CNET Team! your channel is so Cool, and Amazing! And your videos have brought the refreshing taste of relaxation and comfort, especially your devices! As your Muslim viewer and subscriber, I want to clearly share the beautiful core of Islam, which is believing in Allah alone as the one true God, believing that Muhammad (PBUH) is His final messenger, and loving Jesus as a noble messenger of Allah. Believing in this pure message brings true peace to the soul and is the way for deliverance. I sincerely hope you make your research about the truth and the beauty of Islam! I really wish you the very best in everything especially in your success! 😌☺😴❤️

    If I copied a video, and sold my new video, I’d be fined and branded as a copyright thief.

    • @FiftyTRoadGardenCottag

      True, as if it were a human handyman watching how-to videos, they’d be ad revenue.

    • @Echolonious

      July 19, 2026 at 10:34 am

      …No?

      You’re telling me if you copied a video about making pizza, made your own and recorded it, and posted it.. you’d be subjected to copyright? No.

    • @eastmanwebb5477

      July 19, 2026 at 2:10 pm

      This company is not selling new videos. They are looking at videos and learning from them, just like humans do.

    So what if you train it on AI generated videos? They’re all over Facebook being captioned as real-life events.

    how does a robot who “Trained on 100 Million Internet Videos” has not seen or encountered an aluminium can?

    How do you learn to fly a plane? How do you learn to make garments? There is millions of ways to gather that information. That information is, in a lot of cases, protected by some form of law. But what if that information was paid for by ad revenue, just like when I open a YouTube and have a paid subscription? Data, no matter how it is gathered, has a huge amount of value. When I watch something and I learn about I often use that in my own life.

    Companies will spend any amount of money to not hire humans.
