     @arstechnica I thought it would be cool as a butler, but looking at their promotional video https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=GzX1qOIO1bE I think this robot would inflict physical harm on the first day, so it's not safe outside of controlled environments. I hope I'm wrong!

     @arstechnica If it's anything like my dubious usage of ChatGPT, I'll have it doing terrible nonsensical chores and forcing it to make me laugh.

     @arstechnica clearly we aren't there yet but I just want something to take my dog out for me so I never have to see my neighbors or otherwise go outside myself.
