If you look at the field of robotics today, you can say robots have been in the deepest oceans, they’ve been to Mars, you know? They’ve been all these places, but they’re just now starting to come into your living room. Your living room is the final frontier for robots. ~ Cynthia BreaZeal

Three Questions, January 12, 2025

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

While out on my walk today I passed by the local Buddhist Temple, the gates were open for a change and I got a full view of two massive alters that they have. They were both absolutely spectacular, really beautiful.

What did I learn today?

Today I learned that they are making and selling personal robots with high level AI interfaces, interchangeable faces and personalities and that you can make the face off any photo, and build the AI to a specific person’s personality. All for the bargain price of $150,000.

What made me happy today?

Sometimes a nap can be absolutely perfect and I had one of those today. I’d eaten a large bowl of Mao Po Tofu and drank a coke and yes, it was a sugar coma for sure. But after a really big lunch, laying back on the couch with a football game on I crashed out hard for a nap. One of those naps where for a bit you’re half watching TV and aware of what’s happening then bam, you wake up and the game is over. Felt great and made me really happy.
