Toyota hinting at AGI in 2 years time? Yes, I'm skeptical.

"Siri, make me a sandwich"

"You're out of bread, would you like me to bake some bread and then make your sandwich?"

isn't going to happen by 2025.




I can honestly see this by 2030. Just not reliable or safe enough for a consumer product.

There will be a gap between “can be done reliably in testing” (probably doable by 2030 even in a randomly chosen house that’s not part of the test set) and “safe enough for consumers, children, and pets to not get injured by the movements of a robot who is strong enough to lift and carry a 40lb bag of flour or 40lb laundry basket”.

That safety gap for “co-working” robots will be very difficult to close enough for the CPSC to be satisfied and also avoid expensive class-action or individual lawsuits.


We already have robots that make sandwiches. And robots that make bread. And robots that order sandwiches and bread. And robots that deliver sandwiches and bread.

So maybe it’s not one robot, but 3-4 robots that interface with each other.


RemindMe! 2 years

Ah wait, this isn't Reddit. Well anyhow we'll see I suppose. My money would be more on unfreezing and reheating bread instead, dough rising takes too long for practical sandwich creation.
