  • Yep, it’s no more than a stress test for a robot to keep it’s balance in motion, coupled with some partnership and a nice PR showcase of what it can do in a humanized scenario that we meatbags can relate to.

    Moving stuff in a predictable fashion is easily done with forklift\suction cup robots on rails that can ride floors and climb shelves while being powered from the line 100% of time. Iirc Boston Dynamics did such robots too. Making robots carry stuff around on legs sounds like a c/crazyideas material.

    What they can do then though is use this amount of R&D to build a robot that does need all of that. From automatic surgery machines to rescue scouts and, yes, killbots. Both rough terrain and sensitive tasks need a self-regulating system to orchestrate the motion in all these motors right.








  • In Premiere it’s great to generate captions. But I’m cautious since it:

    1. depends on their servers - they upload your stuff, manipulate it and bring it back;
    2. therefore it is 100% aligned with subscription model that is hell they practice for more than a dozen of years now;
    3. makes you always online and always on the latest version to keep being competitive, even if you dislike certain changes they introduced.

    In a sense, it’s the missing brick in their DRM wall that ties it all together. Not their content stocks, nor their cloud stuff felt that natural of an obstacle. And while it’s small now, I think they’d only make the difference between (allegedly) pirates and their always online customers bigger. Like, the next thing they’d gonna do is make healing brushes in every editor a server-only tool scrapping the pretty great local version they have now.
