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.
