I like to think of my research as unlocking game achievements on this civilizational technology tree. And there are three more achievements to unlock for robotics, and then we're done. I can retire, and I can't wait for that. The first is passing the physical Turing test across a wide range of activities. You cannot tell the difference between a human doing a task or robot doing it. Maybe not drunk humans. Physical Turing test is about unit energy in and unit [music] labor out. And just by judging at the sexy pose of this robot, I think the work is cut out for us. So, maybe it's 2 to 3 years away. And next, physical API. You have a whole fleet of robots, and they can be configured just like any other software using APIs and command lines, orchestrated someday by Opus 9.0. And if we have th…
