    Oh boy, it can pick things up. Millions of dollars to do what a 1-year-old can do without thinking.

    How many billions more to get one machine that can do all things a child could easily do? Such as:

    Make slime, play with it, and then put it in a container and put the lid on.

    Find the end of a roll of tape, pull a piece out and cut it off with scissors.

    Braid long hair, and put a rubber band on the end.

    Fill a vase with water and arrange flowers in the vase, using a pair of scissors, cut some of the flowers to be shorter than others.

    Fuck billionaires, and their pursuit to replace us with mechanical slaves, because we’re too difficult to deal with.

      I work with children and I will have you know getting them to put the slime back is an impossible task.

      Jokes aside, this technology could be amazing in freeing us up from menial labour. The issue isn’t the robotics, it’s the masters and their system of exploitation.
