Image and video models nailed recognition and generation on ~30 years of data — the "100,000 years" is pure marketing, not a real ceiling.

You know those pallet jacks, slap some tracks on it and throw a picker arm on it and you got a little movable self loading pallet maker that can load itself into a truck and drop off a pallet. But its patented

System points drives home considering the new blog by generalist where they call their gen1 a system rather than just a model

Data is not all you need. Intelligence is all you need. If a machine could not respond to dynamically changing signals, it has no intelligence.

Data-driven system modeling has become such an obvious default that it barely feels interesting anymore. From a robotics perspective, this research direction already feels played out. So when AI folks keep demanding domain-specific data and knowledge be handed over, it honestly just feels like they want an easy shortcut to profit.
