According to Kimi, I'm a Dutch robotics engineer. Got that part actually right! Not so much for the rest, about First Lego League. But I did RoboCup, so close enough I guess. The other models think I'm Dutch (I guess the 'va

It will be a spectacular crash if/when it crashes. But there is this old adage of 'the market can remain irrational much longer than you can stay solvent'. I'm not holding my breath for this bubble.

How many people have homes that require chores to be done? Laundry, cleaning, setting/clearing tables, yard work, some consider cooking a chore. If I could get an affordable robot to do a subset of them, I'm in the market for one.
