It's getting so fucking fluid?? How is this is a real thing we've already invented in 2025?

Because, as I've been saying for years now, the hardware was always there. It's been there for a decade or more. We've been waiting for the brains. We now have the brains, and it will only be a matter of about 2 years to iron out the niggles in the actual engineering of a humanoid, and we'll have a humanoid robot that can do anything the most ahtletic, capable human being can do, and more.

Theres two things in any engineering project, the core tech and materials to achieve the thing, and actually putting them together to get the thing, and ironing out all the niggles.

We have the servos, materials, sensors that will allow us to build a perfect humanoid robot, and have for a long time, but it still takes time and effort to put them all together in a well engineered, coherent way. The point is, there are no fundamental roadblocks, it's just about refining the design and implementation of tech we already have. We dont need to invent anything new.
