>>44949 >where the "<<X>> ASSEMBLE!" meme comes from? >All I know for sure is that when such a collection of such greasy, slimy, kike-infested (((organizations))) all agree together on something, then you know evil is afoot. To me, it's a whitepill that all these large organizations, some with a lot of influence, are on the same side, and mostly on the same side as us.

>>44950 *yes, that's where the meme comes from https://youtu.be/4pFUP0HZwWM

>>44950 >...and mostly on the same side as us. Hmm. I'm skeptical of this claim tbh. >>44951 Ahh, I see. I've never seen that before. Cheers, GreerTech.

>>44952 >Hmm. I'm skeptical of this claim tbh. What I mean is, whatever their motivation is, in the letter, they want what we want, open-source AI

>>44953 Fair enough. OTOH, we all need mental generalizations to help us navigate the complexities of this life. That's one synaptic connection pathway I'd rather avoid, for the sake of survival. Cheers, Anon.

>>44954 Lol I'm not saying Palantir is our friend. All I intended to say is this >>44953 Opensauce AI benefits us all

>>44960 >what did they mean by this? Hello Zero, welcome! Just a daily reminder that we have a /meta thread for off-topic posting : ( >>43642 ). Cheers.

I heard from some sources that Odysee may be running out of money soon. The good news is, the process probably would take a couple of months. Obviously, I'll have to move some of my stuff. But frankly, while this is disappointing, it's not completely surprising. The site was always clunky in operation, and a lot of the finance and some operations were tied into crypto of all things. I always say, post on multiple platforms. I'm going to retry Rumble for video, that seems to be the actual YouTube alternative. I'll also open up a proton drive for files

>>44962 if odysee goes down aren't the file still available on lbry? wasn't that the point of the site? just have to find a new frontend to view the content

The new DeepSeek Flash v4 looks amazing (did I mention it's practically-free?)

>>44963 You might be right. I confess, I don't know too much about how that shit works.

>>44996 I tried out V4 Flash 0731, it's ridiculous. It's basically DeepSeek V4 Pro at free-tier prices. It's only about 5-10% less powerful than the latest version of Claude, for less than a hundredth of the cost. The American AI industry is screwed unless the government bans open-source, and they'll have about as much luck enforcing that as they have at stopping people from pirating movies.

>>45020 This is a good thing. Thanks for the report, HoloAnon. --- In other news: China's restrictions on AI companions applies only within their own country. AFAICT, no attempts are being made to restrict it outside. This is also some good news for us here.

Ngr*edia appears to be in the midst of attempting a 'hostile takeover' style bid against HuggingFace rn: https://web.archive.org/web/20260827032828/https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-in-talks-to-buy-hugging-face-13-billion-dollars-2026-8

>>45121 I saw that. Very concerning indeed But, Devil's Advocate (maybe literally in this instance), NVIDIA already was one of the top donors to huggingface, among many other corporate supporters, so it's not like they were completely separate and independent before. Regardless, no matter what happens, backup your favorite models and look for alternatives. The main point of offline AI is that it's downloadable.

>>45121 HuggingFace went to shit a long time ago when they banned GPT-4chan in 2022. They've been continually taking down models and banning users without any explanation for their actions or any way to get their accounts or data back. They're worse than YouTube. I hope they fumble it and that website dies so more people start self-hosting their own models, instead of willingly walking into the digital gulag in lockstep.

>>45146 Hello M, welcome! Please have a good look around the board while you're here. >They're worse than YouTube. I was unaware things had gotten that bad. The typical libshite cancel-culture faggotry do you think, or what?

>"XPeng starts IRON humanoid robot production" https://electrek.co/2026/09/07/xpeng-iron-humanoid-robot-production-line/

>>45228 We have a good example of what the public will do with humanoid robits (picrel). The fact China has (supposedly) been making humanoids out the wazoo and the customers haven't done anything goofy or cursed tells you everything. It is *very* easy to make a promotional video and promise the moon. It is *very* hard to deliver. I won't be surprised if folks just forget about XPeng's promises with the next *totally real Chinese technology release trust me bro*.

>>45232 >that image Lel. >It is *very* easy to make a promotional video and promise the moon. It is *very* hard to deliver. Fair enough. Clearly they are using propaganda techniques. So does Tesla (who they are clearly intending to square up against). Frankly I think XPeng has a big advantage over Tesla in the automobile/flying car/drone manufacturing arenas, and that gap will only grow with time. As you (and indeed all of us regulars here are aware) what we are attempting with developing robowaifus is much harder a projectspace than all these others. No surprise with such delays. But one thing's quite certain at this point: XPeng rolled out a prototype of the world's first bonafide commercial robowaifu. I doubt Elon Cuck ever will -- he's too concerned with his 'muh good goy' DIE social (((credits))). The Chinese just need to steer clear of any major issues with the CCP. Beyond that it's smooth sailing with no sign of Longhouse Karens & other libshites anywhere on the horizons! :D

>>45233 The Chinese robit videos are too perfect. High production & camera angle changes can hide lots of things (swapping out robits, etc). Such attributes make it feels like its a cinematic production, concept video or super-luxury item. Everything China puts out is designed for maximum positive marketing. Its one thing to make a video, completely another to get something that can interact in real time, nevermind be a viable commercial product. Attached video might be a re-post, but I'll do it anyway for emphasis. This is a Teslabot as of last year. It is loud, clunky, you can't tell what it is thinking, it talks over you. But that is a genuine robit experience, you'll end up speaking over your robit as it processes your voice command, the eggheads will have forgotten some ergonomic features. Videos like this show the reality of robit development and lend credibility (plus Teslabot ain't a 4 foot midget). Far as I know, only some major youtubers have reprieved unitree robits to play with. I could afford to buy a Unitree R1 (the referenced 4 foot midget, btw) off Amazon via payment plan but I simply distrust them *that much*. I haven't been convinced. If there is a robit available for $6k surely some furry would've bought one to dress in a fursuit. You can also totally buy the unitree mech on Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256812717680482.html Its totally real, trust me bro! Just ignore the statement "The current price does not match the actual price (configuration and logistics)."

>>45234 >Teslabot vid Yeah, I liked that one too. >(plus Teslabot ain't a 4 foot midget) Jej. Yeah the Unitree is a wee little lad for the moment. OTOH, the female version of the XPeng Iron prototype stands taller than most of their engineers (even moreso the male version). >pricing deception Agreed (on all party's parts -- particularly the American companies). I think they are surprised by the demand in their initial fishing expeditions with the public. * Prices are quickly being (((adjusted))) because ((($$$reasons$$$))) (at least in the Western case -- the Eastern case is primarily about supply issues, I think). --- * Of course even the most uninitiate of us here on /robowaifu/ could have more-accurately predicted that demand for them years in advance.

Great channel that focuses on the money side of things and news. Press releases may say one thing, but money never lies! https://www.youtube.com/@wallstreetmillennial/videos

Wait.. >*checks mic* Is this the +/pol/ thread? Yeah? I'm in the right place then. It seems the jewSA is currently coordinating with the yidsraeli cabinet (+ any number of NOTenyahoo doppelgangers, no doubt) to deliver far more bombs for the yids to kill the children with than ever before in history (40,000 tons in fact... that's 40 thousand tons of HE for use [primarily] on civilian targets). https://goyimx.com/TuckerCarlson/status/2099906095905165701 Just remember jewSA taxpayer...you, yourself, are footing 100% of the bill for this (even though in all likelihood you never voted for such abominations). I'm truly embarrassed by this POS (((Administration))) to even call myself American today. Expat move to Japan can't come soon enough for me! <---> >>45236 With all due respect to yourself, just reading the first page is like being inundated with niggerpilling slop. I'm sure you're well aware I'm no fan of these kike-run companies or governments. But AFAICT this is just clickbait, GreerTech.

>>45237 I vehemently and completely disagree. This channel goes into the actual facts and figures, and often discusses the technical facts. >being inundated with niggerpilling slop. Blackpilled for who? Definitely not me, and you seem to agree. It's good to have a critical voice, and this channel doesn't seem to overly pessimistic, he just looks at the facts. And with modern tech, which is built on 90% hype, it's very important to have an objective and practical lens. Here's a good sample video https://youtu.be/Juc-IyTdSho

>>45238 Alright, I'll give it a (brief) go at your word soon-ish. I know he won't, but if he wants to be taken seriously at all then he needs to change up the look of his video placards. Screams "niggerpilling clickbait slop". Cheers, Anon.

>>45237 > ...the jewSA is currently coordinating with the yidsraeli cabinet On the topic of the yids usurping the former USA; some freshly-released footage chronicling firemen during the gayop attack on the WTC during 20010911 : this raw footage is 25yrs old...only just now being released! https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=ZHPzeXXwkZM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHPzeXXwkZM Fun fact: near as I can tell, this was all a single cut once they got to the command post...one long shot. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. <---> Very sobering to think that both towers would be completely flattened in just an hour and a half or so after this began. And it took them what, about two weeks working 24/7 to get back down the bottom of all that rubble? :/

>>45240 >related: The filmmakers involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_and_G%C3%A9d%C3%A9on_Naudet

>>45232 >>45234 Good points It seems like there's a trend in Chinese businesses to lie and exaggerate, even when it's not needed. I call this "The AliExpress Effect". For example, I used to buy high powered blue lasers from Chinese sellers. These blue lasers were amazing, they were literally hundreds of times more powerful than a laser pointer, metal construction, and many of them had variable focusing lenses. Despite all that, many thumbnails had things like "100000 watts" or shitty photoshops of Terminators or Video Game characters holding it.

Kristen Nygaard was an eminent computer scientist & Turing Award winner; looked up to by every fellow computer scientist that knew him, AFAICT. For example Bjarne Stroustrup repeatedly has had only good things to say about him (here's just one of those many times I'm aware of : >>45258 ) -- and Stroustrup knew Nygaard well as a Uni student while long under his instruction. * This yt channel seems to indicate that the kikes had Nygaard assassinated (through their so-called 'deep state' thugs [aka glowniggers]) back in the early 2000's because of his threat to the rising Globohomo Big- Tech/Gov (as we have come to know it by today); notably his opposition to tech's corporate-takeovers & thefts, and his growing political activism opposing the (((EU's))) takeover of Europe's sovereign nations. (And what an absolute disaster and death-knell that has been for the Western Tradition ever since.) The evidence for this planned murder seems rather compelling to me. https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=-6p_B6_Bjzk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6p_B6_Bjzk --- * eg; cf : https://www.cs.columbia.edu/2015/stroustrup-aito-award/

@Chobitsu, can you get rid of your reddit mod lock?

>>45337 Maybe a little later. Not now.

>>45338 I gotta be honest and forthright, this is getting ridiculous. And I predicted this would happen. First it was just not weaponizing robowaifus or talking about weapons, then it was that you can't post anything related to the military, even from an academic sense, then it's you can't even post a cute nandroid with a cartoon shotgun, now it's you can't even talk about materials science. Anon was just elaborating on a position I mentioned, that actually bulletproofing your robowaifu would be quite difficult and/or impractical. What are you, a liberal schoolteacher? What's next, bans for eating your poptart in the shape of a gun? >Why do some of you Anons keep pushing me on this topic? That should be a clue. And frankly, this reddit-mod thing you do where you lock threads because you got angry, is also ridiculous. It accomplishes nothing. Is this the aforementioned "Imageboard free speech"? Gotta say, doesn't feel free to me. I've noticed that there's less activity, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of it. You've probably already scared off that one anon. I want to be able to post without worrying if I tick you off

>>45339 Bro, you're a visitor in Chobitsu's house. His house, his rules.

>>45342 Boomer mindset. And I was unaware that was the mindset we were cultivating here, a "you can't question me because I'm in control" vibe.

>>45344 Thanks for reminding us to put aside our differences I still do request that the thread be unlocked and to stop doing that

>>45343 Call me a boomer but ain't saying I'm wrong lmao

>>45348 You can be technically right, but it's still a boomer mindset, and one to be avoided

Our rivals are taking a huge L! https://youtu.be/zWyrdTl47sM

Very cool to see the BTS robot repair work going on at this robo- track & field event. https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=E2empqOEkwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2empqOEkwk BTW, check out the designs of the long jumpers at around 5 mins. They embody some of the design motifs we should mimic for durable & efficient mass/power ratios (the goals of which is basically why these type of events were chosen and are especially important for these R&D phase years -- its similar to the human Olympics in many respects for advancements, and bears on our own researches here). Also, check out the base+lever_up design of the MaidCom -like robot at about 11 mins. that promptly nearly crashes over, lol. It looks to me like a straightforward, easy-to-build approach for our MaidComs. <---> Its easy to laugh at some of these clumsy antics rn, yet still remember: when we here started just 10 years ago, there were none of these robits. Zip. Zero. Nada. And now just look how far (the Chinese, at least) have come in about 5 year's time. This is exponential growth of a new industry that we're all watching happen in realtime... one that far outstrips the PC industry's rate (which began about 50-ish years ago through to where we are today). I find that exceptionally impressive, and all it takes is the human will of men to see the Robowaifu Age dawn for us all! Cheers, Anons. :) WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

>>45518 Different footage/edit of the same event, including the world-record 8.64s 100m dash. Several of these robits have smol fires from their safety barrier impacts. I don't know what the weights are exactly, but these record-setting class ones surely weigh over 100lbs (which is why the impacts ruptured & set off their batteries). https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=BK8y04x6PMs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK8y04x6PMs --- General information about the event itself: https://english.beijing.gov.cn/beijinginfo/sci/latesttrends/202608/t20260828_4840947.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Humanoid_Robot_Games

>>45518 >MaidCom design Looks great, but hopefully it could be done with a psuedo-bipedal design (like Galatea), and removable so she can sit and be moved around (and do other things ;) ) >one that far outstrips the PC industry's rate (which began about 50-ish years ago through to where we are today). I find that exceptionally impressive, and all it takes is the human will of men to see the Robowaifu Age dawn for us all! Cheers, Anons. :) What helps is that when it comes to hardware, due to both technological advancement and plateauing, the hardware is basically there. The software is progressing nicely, but it will take some clever computer engineering to get a fully human-capable Waifu Mind. On a waifu safety note, I like the switch that on that base. The scientist was able to immediately stop it from Jesusmaxxing (flipping over tables epically). Shame it was teleoperated. I'm tired of these big toys, either improve the technology or get out. If you're going to have wireless operation, then just connect to a high-end gaming PC running a VLA model. XLeRobot is able to experiment with VLAs with a fraction of the resources and budget https://xlerobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/software/getting_started/VLA_ACT.html >Its easy to laugh at some of these clumsy antics rn, yet still remember: when we here started just 10 years ago, there were none of these robits. Zip. Zero. Nada. Eh, not true. ASIMO was impressing me since I was a kid*, and there was the Boston Dynamics robots later on. What has improved is price, agility, and software. The one in clothes looks impressive. As with Galatea, clothes go a long way to make a robot feel human. After all, clothes are a uniquely human trait. ------- *Surely the coolest robot as a kid being a white plastic robot with a visor, had no impact in my taste as an adult.

>>45523 >Looks great, but hopefully it could be done with a psuedo-bipedal design (like Galatea), and removable so she can sit and be moved around (and do other things ;) ) Yeah, I'm leaning towards interchangeable torsos (or at least upper torsos) ala @Lin's basic design ideas : ( >>24744 ). >tl;dr Lets build everything modular, then we can swap parts around as each situation calls for it. > The scientist was able to immediately stop it from Jesusmaxxing (flipping over tables epically). LMAO :D >XLeRobot is able to experiment with VLAs with a fraction of the resources and budget Thanks for the link, Anon. I look in on their projects occasionally. Their project in part has inspired my thinking for the CartWaifu project. >Eh, not true. ASIMO was impressing me since I was a kid*, and there was the Boston Dynamics robots later on. Fair enough. But I specifically wasn't including those (at least in my mind). We just watched Forbidden Planet recently, and I didn't include that one either. I meant all the Chinese & other robits actually at the robo- Olympics event there. None of them existed just 10yrs ago -- AFAICT not even in the design phase.

For any'nons skeptical of my regular use of the phrase: > the Globohomo Big- Tech/Gov I offer this bit of evidence to that effect, by none other than the kiked-up POTUS: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1674 The international kikes control not only all the finance systems of the West today, they use that power to: * Buy out big-tech * Buy out big-government They then use their power to force governments (foremost & especially the former United States of America) to do the bidding of their technology companies (all the better to surveil & control the goyim of course). As far as I'm concerned this isn't some whimsical shitpost by a deranged octogenarian (just confer all the other AI-related posts he made yesterday)... its a concerted effort by the cabal of POS """elite""" kikes (all filthy commie b*lsheviks, through-and-through) to shut down any open discussion or questioning of their narratives. Now I freely admit (((they))) are entirely out of touch with reality in general, and that this is a ridiculous endeavor in such a case -- but its a real one on their parts nonetheless. >tl;dr kikes wag the Big-Gov dog around by the Big-Tech tail, to give it their marching orders. Simple as.

>>45518 >MaidCom like design I can assure you, I'm explicitly designing MaidCom to be safer than that. My cart MaidCom idea would stop at the moment of contact. Video was fun, heaps of good designs >>45523 >Looks great, but hopefully it could be done with a psuedo-bipedal design (like Galatea), and removable so she can sit and be moved around (and do other things ;) ) You could just make a modified Jensen linkage with a motor per leg. You'd need a motor in each leg so she could sit down, squat down to reach for things, I'm certain with enough imagination, other uses could be found. Add a splay motor so she can spread her legs for turning and other things. She would have a cart to handle balancing. Design becomes real simple when you don't have to worry about balance.

>>45558 >My cart MaidCom idea would stop at the moment of contact. That's a good idea. The robot vacuums I use have that feature. Only problem is a humanoid body makes things like tables and beds into undetectable obstacles. If the base is long and wide enough, an ultrasonic sensor pointing upwards could work. The linkage sounds like a good idea.

>>45558 Or just put an entire humanoid robit (with non-load-bearing legs) on a robo-arm :D

>>45558 >safety Yeah, I think some of these students displaying there don't yet appreciate how vital that actually is. BTW I like that little robo-crawler, Kiwi. Thanks! >>45562 I'm hopeful that LiDAR units will keep getting cheaper & cheaper until it would be effective to use them for dear Galatea. Good luck, GreerTech. >>45571 This. I'm working towards using the CartWaifu as a motorized, mobile gantry system to use while developing free-standing bipedalism for dear Sumomo-chan. And indeed I think the idea of a 'robo-arm' is amenable to both @Lin's and @Kiwi's waifu design ideas. Good thinking, Mechnomancer. <---> Cheers, Lads. :)

>>45558 The 1860s called, Zadoc wants his walking mechanism back lmao
