They can do that, yet somehow, Gemini Assistant on Pixel phones still fails to reliably set timers or add shopping list items :-)(which worked fine with Google Assistant)

The "how" is completely missing, but if they can get this to work semi reliably it will be ChatGPT x100 in terms of impact.

Even if Google's robotics technology (software and hardware) is leading edge does anyone think they'll actually be able to productize it? Seems similar to how they were the pre-product leaders in transformers and then fumbled any advantage they had to ChatGPT. It seems like something's missing from Google where they can't get from research to product effectively. Waymo perhaps a good counterexample if you think where they are today is product/market fit, but I can't shake the feeling that Google more often than not can't seem to get things to market or even if they do they give up on them before they take hold.Just wondering if anyone has a strong feeling or, better yet, insight on this regarding their robotics efforts.

It's terrifying to think that robots like this will probably be used in the defense industry at some point. If the robot understands something as general as "put the erasers away", imagine "kill all enemies".

just curious, what would it do if you asked it to kill someone? does it follow the laws of robotics?
