microagi published 'Abundance 2029,' claiming it will deploy a billion robots by 2029 and arguing mass robot deployment will bring a world of abundance with profound economic and societal consequences. ChombaBupe counters that scene understanding and causal action planning remain hugely unsolved — Altman's 2027 prediction for real-world robots won't happen, and more data plus bigger statistical models won't fix it.
