Wasn't DEI being forced into corporate America by the government and by large funds like BlackRock and such?

No one is forcing anyone to use async though. It is an entirely optional part of the language. But it is naive to think that not using it is an easier path towards a solution.

Why would it move quickly? There is zero reason for a humanoid home robot to move quickly.

Of course it will. AI is driving a flood of development in robotics. A home robot is definitely coming in the next 10 years and an assembly line worker is going to be an extinct job.

Seems to me that is very short sighted business model. Selling Chinese sweatshop producs as luxury goods eventually devalues the brand.

I mean a ton of heat pumps are being installed. New houses tend to have heat pumps. The problem is with old houses who already have a heating system installed, it is crazy to overhaul to a heat pump as the cost is not even close to being se

It is a sales and engineering heavy business. Very difficult to generate large returns.

AI is a long term trend, next is more products on top of AI. Just like the internet. Biotech and space will both be trends but slower and less bubbly because the cost to play is high, though the returns are possibly huge in both.
