I’d rather take a slower robot that can fold the towels with millimeter precision into a beautiful stack not a messy box

From one perspective we are awed by tech advance. On the other end fear of being replaced. Paradox indeed 😢
@joshr8666
August 17, 2025 at 12:52 pm
The fear of being replaced is really just the fear of government not doing what they should be doing and instead committing genocide.
They can serve their purpose of doing the labor and the humans can be free to pursue other matters. I think it should be the goal of any civilization to do this. Otherwise we would just not progress. There are human limits to everything. We need machines to overcome those limits.

why robots have to look like humans? to fold laundry there are more efficient way robotic arms can be build or not? i do not understand the obsession to try to replicate what men can do, why don’t we focus on what we can not do?

Okay so much does the cost of maintenance outweigh their folding abilities ?
The amount of energy usage just to create one.
And if they develop robot carpal syndrome, the cost to replace joints and joinery, electric cables.

I really think these companies need to release a dog robot first. They need to get something out there that’s more of a fun gimmick to get us used to the idea. Make it a “must have” thing. Super cute. Humanoids are tougher sells and more expensive.

Nope! Humans still faster, it must mean I won’t own one of these things. This time comparison was ridiculous- shouldn’t matter if it takes an hour of the robot time and just two minutes of yours… The point is the towels got folded and you didn’t have to touch them

“if we come to rely on robots to do these things for us, will we forget how to care for ourselves, how to clean up after ourselves?”
Well let’s see. No one leaves a building without a vehicle underneath their feet anymore… No one knows how to forage for food since stores provide it now… 15 years into smartphones, and most people under 25 couldn’t tell you what a digital file is, and would have no idea how to handle a physical one. And don’t try to show them an analog clock either…
So the answer is yes, and it won’t take long.

The speed is completely irrelevant. My Roomba vacuums much slower than I do but I don’t care because I don’t have to do it. I barely even fold my laundry now and I don’t do it well! Lol. This would be a vast improvement and absolutely amazing!

the real question is – can it help with household chores and still stay up all night chatting with me while i write my stories? and, if i purchase one, is the service still going to be subscription based?? because i’m f’ing tired of all these subscription models on literally everything nowadays.. ~o.O~
very cool though. i want one. ^_^

It’s just sad really. It’ll be one more thing ticked off a list that humans will “give up with”. I still think the future of humanity will be split. One half embracing the tech and becoming the “Surrogates” type people of the Bruce Willis movie…sitting in a chair to use tech and live indoors and never venturing out again. The other half stuck in tech free ghetto reservations living life the “old fashioned way” and never the twain shall meet…I think people will have to decide which world they want to be in.

Does it really need to be fully mobile with legs? Is it really that hard to bring the laundry to it? Its like the corporates are deliberately setting the robots up with everything they need to go rogue.

This is like Dwight Schrute battling the website in who is able to make more sales. Even is the robot takes 2 minutes per towel it doesn’t care. Laundry will be done as soon as you wake up, that and every other household task
