The humanoid I actually want: one that can organize my basement

Today I spent the whole day cleaning out my basement with my father. And the entire time I kept thinking about AI agents / humanoids.

Imagine dropping a humanoid robot in there and saying:

  • Build this shelving system.
  • Sort everything.
  • Label the boxes.
  • Group related stuff together.
  • Suggest what we can probably throw away.
  • Ask me when you need something.

And then it emerges 5 days later having completed the task perfectly.

I keep saying “we live in the future,” but days like this make me realize how far away that future still feels. I don’t want to wait another 10 years for this.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how Facebook is kind of the holy grail when it comes to data scraping.

I once played with the idea of building a small app that maps and categorizes everything I’ve “saved” across platforms, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even browser bookmarks.

But Facebook is always the one that blocks the whole idea.

Same story recently when someone asked me about building a global event calendar. In theory it’s simple: on Facebook you can find tons of events with a single search term. In practice, extracting that data feels nearly impossible (at least with my current knowledge).

Anyway, just a random thought. Curious how others here deal with this.
