Lost me at AI is not sentient… this guy does not understand what sentenience means. Yes they get to the answer in a different way we do but they get to actionable answers none the less, that can the be executed by robots/machines.

I really appreciate the answer to the “Future Terminator” question. I’ve been trying to tell people for years that the problem isn’t AI or Robots gaining sentience and taking over (they are literally running the same algorithms they’ve had for decades, just at larger scale) the real threat of AI is dumb humans giving AI control over things they have no business being in control of.
@SchrogindersGreed
April 28, 2026 at 8:16 pm
Yeah, basically what I understand about lidar, Waymo is focusing on combining lidar with other detection systems to be the safest, and Tesla is betting that it’ll get as good as lidar (or good enough that people will not car), and if they are right, they will win because their car should be cheaper.

I love how Aaron keeps talking about problems and how they are or aren’t yet solved. Helps understanding where robots currently are. Also i have never thought about it but after he mentioed that LLMs have no actual intelligence that also makes a lot of sense.

Sure we have. Its call INTELLIGENCE.

1:05 I often wonder why make them humanoid when so many other things can do the same task better. I worry it’s because we desperately seek to have other human-like creatures working under us. The wording here is really striking.
