Why is the "Robot Hand" problem so hard? Is the shift from Digital to Analog AI necessary for true dexterity?

Most advanced humanoids use massive digital neural networks (Nvidia chips, etc.) for control, but we still see robots dropping cups or crushing eggs due to latency. Given that biological reflex loops are analog and asynchronous, is digital brute force fundamentally limited here? How many companies are actually working on mixed-signal or neuromorphic hardware for hands vs. just scaling software?

You ever consider how technology will impact the future of pornography?

Porn in the future is going to be so fucking awesome. I envision a virtual reality version of a porn website. I think after experiencing that I would be ok with death. I would be like “ok I lived im good”

Throw a little amphetamine in there and I’ll never return to the real world

Looking for a Technical Co-Founder — Large Action Model for Embodied AI / Robotics

I’m an independent researcher based in West Africa, currently developing a Large Action Model (LAM) designed to provide a general-purpose intelligence layer for robots.

The core idea is to move beyond the paradigm where an LLM directly generates executable robot actions.

My architecture is based on:

* Multimodal perception and world understanding

* Reasoning and action verification

* Skill acquisition through imitation and reinforcement learning

* A reusable library of learned robotic skills

* Dynamic composition of skills into executable workflows

* Continuous learning from environmental feedback

* Robot-agnostic action execution

The project is called Action-Workflow. The long-term objective is to build an intelligence layer that allows robots to acquire and reuse physical skills instead of solving every task from scratch.

I am looking for a technical co-founder with strong experience in one or more of:

* Robotics / embodied AI

* Reinforcement or imitation learning

* Multimodal models

* Robot learning and simulation

* LLM/agent architectures

* Computer vision / world models

* Distributed AI systems

I am particularly interested in someone who wants to work on the research and engineering problem itself, not simply take on a conventional software-development role.

I am open to a long-term remote collaboration and an equity-based co-founder arrangement, depending on the profile and level of commitment.

I can provide the current architecture, technical documentation, research direction and existing implementation privately for serious candidates.

I am French-speaking and based in West Africa, but the project is intended to be international.

If this problem interests you and you are seriously considering building a company around embodied intelligence, feel free to comment or DM me.

Outlook for robot sales?

Hey everyone, curious to get your take on the future of robot hardware sales.

Right now, most physical bots still feel pretty gimmicky and limited, but software/embodied AI seems to be advancing crazy fast (look at what Unitree is putting out lately).

For anyone in hardware, deep tech, or automation: is jumping into commercial robotics sales right now getting in on the ground floor, or are we still years away from real enterprise adoption? Would love to hear your thoughts.
