Maybe it's just me, but everything about this announcement feels very I, Robot... and not in a good way.

> allowing the entire fleet to upload terabytes of data for continuous learning and improvement

Ugh.

Edit: Yes, I meant I, Robot the film. U.S. Robotics and the like.

Nearly everything about this screams I, Robot and it is kinda wild that they went that route with this article. The package delivery and the quick intro and head turning in particular.

I agree on the data part. I love the potential idea of a humanoid robot at home to take care of chores, but now it seems like the potential for it not being constantly connected and collecting data is gone out the window.

I find it quite strange that they are openly bragging about how much data it will be gathering and uploading from within your home. That feels like the part you would not say out loud.
