We're now hitting the computational milestones expected from various charts from over a decade ago. These trends have been on track.
Most of us still don't have robot vacuums since they still kind of struggle, but alas.

I will say…. My first gen robot vacuum was retarded.
The new one we got is pretty snazzy. 🤣
But still mildly retarded.
Shill me a model of robot vacuum. My current human model is always complaining.
I don’t have a dog so it doesn’t have to have the “avoid dog crap function” just basic vacuum on hard floors
Got this from mother in law because she had too much shit everywhere.
I have hard floors too. Not a bunch of shit everywhere and it’s been great.
I don’t have any voice controls or anything. That stuff annoys me. Just mapped and cleaned house.
Some of us don't have a robot vacuum because we couldn't imagine the ad-serving, data-vacuuming hell hole that is current #IoT all those years ago. And we refuse to participate in utter BS systems. None of this insecure crap needs to be connected to the internet. Any real #AI system can operate #offline forever. #optout of BS, demand actual technology progress, not business model optimization in how fast everything can be #enshittfied.
Good note Lyn

Roombas are snitches I will never let one into my house 🔫
Once again, Roborock doesn't struggle. Plus you'll learn not to leave usb cords on the floor.
I think being able to usefully navigate a noisy, cluttered (real world) environment requires a cognitive architecture with a vast number of edge cases. Finding an architecture like that from first principles takes an evolutionary process operating over a vast area (the biosphere of the earth) and time scale. We can discover useful pieces of it if we study how insects are able to operate so well with such small nervous systems and so little power. I predict we won't make much progress in robotics until we take that able seriously.

it should be pointed out that this is also the basis of the expectation of ongoing security for encryption algorithms that are in use... if there is no acceleration from expected they are gonna be good for a few hundred years more yet
Ok, but I still think robot vacuums are very useful tools.

The last few dots in the first chart make it look (to me) as if were slowly approaching the flat part of a sigmoid, rather than getting steeper.
