The Data Drought in Robotics

Ilya Sutskever discusses the historical challenges in robotics due to a lack of data. He explains that in the past, working in robotics required significant resources and manpower, making it difficult to gather enough data to drive progress. This segment highlights the importance of data and compute in advancing robotics and sets the stage for understanding the evolution of the field.

"back then it really wasn't possible to continue working in robotics because there was so little data like back then if you wanted to do on robot if you wanted to work on robotics you needed to become ..."

A New Path Forward in Robotics

In this segment, Sutskever outlines the current possibilities for advancing robotics. He emphasizes the need for a committed approach to building a large number of robots to collect data and improve their functionality gradually. This discussion reflects on the evolving landscape of robotics and the dedication required to overcome the physical and logistical challenges inherent in the field.

"to really commit to the to the to the task of Robotics you really need to say I'm going to build like many thousands tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of robots and somehow collect data from the..."
