Brad Templeton: remote monitoring is not unsupervised
Brad Templeton says a human watching a screen full time counts as supervision whether they sit in the car or not, and Sawyer Merritt says that is moving the goalposts. Plus a claim that Foxconn humanoids are building NVIDIA servers at 99% efficiency.
Out in the world
Lukas Ziegler says Foxconn humanoids build NVIDIA servers at 99% efficiency
Lukas Ziegler says Foxconn is mass-deploying humanoids that assemble NVIDIA's Rubin Vera supercomputers at 99% efficiency. His takeaway is that deployment only works when the customer actually wants robots on the line and will walk the journey with you. Nobody outside has posted what the 99% figure measures or how many robots are running.
If you want to deploy humanoids, you must have a customer who’s is incentivised to use robots.
Teleop and other arguments
Templeton and Merritt fight over what "unsupervised" means for Cybercab
Brad Templeton drew a line between standby remote assist, which is event-driven, and remote monitoring, where someone watches all the time, and says only the second counts as supervised. Sawyer Merritt replied that humans on standby for emergencies does not make Cybercab supervised, and that critics keep moving the goalposts.
Unsupervised means there is not a human supervising nearly full-time. Does not matter if the human is in the car or via video.
