Major players in the IT industry, including Jeff Bezos and Nvidia Corp., have reportedly invested in Figure AI Inc., a startup creating human-like robots.

I know we’re probably far from that but damn I I just want a robot to do the dishes. That would honestly be valuable and I’d be willing to pay a lot for it.

Aaah, ok, makes perfect sense!
