Thanks for sharing dude

I hear you on the humanoid in home thing. 

I want 2 things basically from robots:
- More ergonomic bot shapes/designs 
- A max peak grip/rotational strength below human bone strength thresholds

Honestly I want robots to be designed as calm technology:

I’d say the main framing is seeing technology as an extension of self not as another. I think we put it in humanoid form, I think we’re gonna start to feel like these things are not extensions of ourselves, but something completely different. 

And I’m sure that’s gonna happen in one form or another, I don’t want the world where humanoids. I’m not sure if I am uncomfortable and I need to get over it or my intuition is just telling me this doesn’t work for me dawg
