Retweeted by scottereed: Gharik (former OpenAI researcher) argues, based on conversations, reading and his own LLM research, that robotics may be closer than commonly believed — the mainstream '8-10 years out' view likely overestimates the timeline, with robot proliferation possible within 2-5 years. He discloses he holds investments in the area consistent with this view.
