  It's just some random guy operating this in vr? And you guys want to pay $20k to have some stranger walk around your house?

  You can buy one for $20,000. 🤯 That's incredibly cheap for what it offers. [image]

  $500/month... Do people not know what getting a cleaning person (who can do 100x the number of things this can) cost? So fucking stupid.

  We're inviting the first set of users to pre-order and experience NEO. This is a product that is early for its time. Some features are still in active development & polish. There will be mistakes. We will quickly learn from them, and use your early feedback to improve NEO for

  This looks incredible, was an instant order for me... $20k is worth it to me for house cleaning and laundry alone. Very excited for this future.

  Dear humanoid robot companies, I don't give a shit about any of this. Show me a 15 second video of your robot: - loading, starting, and unloading a dishwasher - same with a washer and then putting the clothes away - tidying toys and we're ready to drop like $40k. [image]

  So to be clear, this is a preorder for a humanoid home robot that will cost $20,000 or $500/month when it (maybe) ships next year, and currently is not finished. Joanna Stern got to do a demo in its current state, and 100% of its actions are tele-operated

  After attending the NEO launch last night in Palo Alto, for me this was the first time a humanoid felt actually safe to be around. Lightweight, soft-padded body, compliant movements. It felt like something that could actually live in a home. Here are my takeaways (a thread): [vid…

• @garrytan Garry Tan on x

  Amazing work Do you think they pulled off a $10K BOM?

• @prmshra Parmita Mishra on x

  With Neo at 1X! Amazing what you guys have achieved. There is something so human about Neo. What appears so effortless, especially in a hardware startup, is not easy to achieve at all. It takes decades of dedication. Huge respect and thanks for having me!!! @BerntBornich [image]

  I just got to experience the future at @1x_tech If you think this is something that's been around forever or not novel, you're wrong. You have to experience it to feel it. @radbackwards & @ericjang11 absolutely cooked on this. This is the future! [video]

  From @JoannaStern's great video review of the @1x_tech Neo of today (she makes it clear this isn't what's shipping in 2026). For now, it's all remote operated and it's *still* struggling a little to do basic stuff. This isn't crapping on it, it just that this stuff is HARD. [vide…

  it's definitely a milestone for 1X to take Neo pre-orders but my god people are ignoring the fact every complex job requires teleoperation. in this (great) WSJ video, the company doesn't demo a single autonomous task  —  youtu.be/f3c4mQty_so?...
