Who is doing all the work of making physical agents that can behave as good as a UBI generator? Something that can not just create videos, but go get groceries

Who is doing all the work of making physical agents that can behave as good as a UBI generator? Something that can not just create videos, but go get groceries(hell grow my food), help a construction worker lay down tiling, help a nurse fetch supplies.
https://www.figure.ai/ https://www.figure.ai/ does not exist yet, at least not for the masses. Why are Meta and Google just building the next coder and not the next robot?
Its because those problem are at the bottom of the economic ladder. But they have the money for it and it would create so much abundance, it would crash the cost of living and free up human labor to imagine and do things more creatively than whatever Veo 4 can ever do.

- BosunoB 1y agoThere are companies working on this, but my understanding is that the training data is more challenging to get because it involves reinforcement learning in physical space. In the forecast of the AI-2027 guys, robotics come after they've already created superintelligent AI, largely just because it's easier to create the relevant data for thinking than for moving in physical space.
- throwaway314155 1y agoI think I have a similar distaste for Google as you, but it's just due to limitations in the (bleeding edge...) technology. There's not like a conspiracy to _not_ make a "UBI generator" - which is surely not possible with current technology and won't be for awhile however hard Google might try.
