You know those machines already exist, don't you? I've had one for twenty years - first appliance we bought for our house when we moved to France, even before fridge or cooker!

Really? Need more data, as the old school automatons used to say ... like actual costs (purchase, monthly subcription, software updates, energy supply). I don't see any of them for sale on Temu, so for now, humans would still be a heck of a lot cheaper (and more versatile) for any business I'm associated with.
And yet roomates still get into fights with each other over dishes and plates in the sink, lol.
I know what you're saying, I have a dishwasher too, but it remains one of those things people want.. they want it to be more automated, to load and unload, etc.
There is literal decades of data about automation being cheaper than humans.
It's not with this specific machine, but there's still decades of data about automation. The results are in. Automation is cheaper than humans.
At first, new tech might be prohibitively expensive, but like time always shows, new tech drops in prices as it becomes old tech.

A report from MIT says the financial advantages of replacing humans with AI are still a long way off.
"...it will likely take many years for those costs to decrease to a level where these AI systems can be deployed by companies on a broad level, Thompson says."

Remind me again: how do the vegetables in the fields in California get picked? Or the clothes in Walmart get made?
Thanks Mara.

Very steep improvement curve for 5-10 years!
Truly incredible if these advacements keep coming this quickly for that long.
I hope we get the 3 day work week in America. A 4 day weekend!
What a difference that would make for everyone.
Any time someone predicts something (anything) happening in 5-10 years, read 25-30 years.
We could have a 4 day work week in this country now if....well, I won't go there

Small distinction, but he didn't predict anything happening in 5-10 years, he predicted the current rate of progress will CONTINUE for 5-10 more years.
See: it's a political problem, not a technological one!
These roommates might eventually have the option of acquiring a Figure (kitchen assistant edition) but they'll probably end up fighting over who didn't renew the monthly subscription, or who clicked yes to the clothes-washing add-on without consulting the others, or whether or not to disable the foot-rub feature. Then someone will say they should have gone for the iMan 3 instead of Figure 15.0 ... 
And that's why they will hire lawyers like me.See: it's a political problem, not a technological one!
All these ChatGPT LLM type stuff are running on a chipset from 2022, and now...
New generation of AI chips announced!
Jumping from 1.7 to 27 trillion parameters and 30x faster. What an increase, GPT-5 is gonna be noticably better.
With this hardware performance, we'll almost definitely get GPT-4 without any notable response delays
In another news... general purpose robot operating system
In OTHER NEWS - AI now generates 3d objects

This is too funny 
After working on their robot for an entire decade, Boston Dynamics conceded that they cannot compete with Figure and retired it's robot.
Even with a decade head start they can't compete with this AI tech -it's that advanced.
It's the modern worlds 'great pyramid' a culmination of generations of people and millions of man-hours of work.

Boston Dynamics has apparenlty never turned a profit, so there's no reason to presume AI of that kind would be cost effective.
The Boston Dynamics robot did not use AI
