Re: Humanoid and other robots.

You can see about post #48 here, bee farming.  By using robots to manage the hives, pollinators can be favored, and also the honey making process.  A more humanin way to kill predators that raid beehives, may be a robot with an air suction device, that also crushes the insects.  While that sounds cruel, it is perhaps less cruel than letting them die on sticky paper.

I also imagine leaf harvesters in deciduous sections of a managed temperate savannah environment, where, the Leafs serve as feedstock, for production of organic chemicals.

For instance using solar powered or wind powered pyrolysis, then fuel gasses such as Methane might be obtained, and yet also biochar produced.  The robots could redistribute the biochar into the forest.  (Similar might be done with grassy, flower fields).

Calliban has recently indicated a method invented, (China), for making starch from electrolysis>Methanol>>>

So, I anticipate that finding a way to convert Methane to Methanol, and plugging into that starch method, then tree leafs can be a source of food.

Then the biochar, which may contain some nutrients could be distributed into the forest by robots.

As leaf falls are seasonal, then the robots would do other tasks when not involved in the leaf "Crop".

By the way the above would be a Carbon sequester process as well.  It is hard for biochar Carbon to reinsert into the biological web, so it takes time.

Re: Humanoid and other robots.

This is only partly about Optimus Robot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeuhzS9Qg7E

If real, then it is very significant, I feel.

So, I can imagine the robot being able to at least do light outside work like raking leaves or grass.  Grooming plants and so on.  Perhaps seasonally, and then doing other tasks otherwise.

It is my opinion that this along with precision fermentation, might allow turning some farmland into parkland / Solar facilities / Semi-rural housing units.

You might have a harvest of dead vegetation and then to treat that with pyrolysis, producing chemicals and also Biochar, which the robots could return to the land.  The chemicals harvested might be used in precision fermentation perhaps.

So, not wild in the sense that weird people might want.  Historically art toggles between scenes of wilderness, and scenes of well groomed parks.  Maybe a bit between those two but also allowing for solar and wind power.

Having humans live in such groomed wilderness, would allow local consumption of distributed power.

In building "Social Systems", I think we should seek distributed structure rather than centralized structure.  Centralized structure is too vulnerable to Fascist, Socialist, and Communist thinking in my opinion.  As it turns out it may be a good thing that the USA has not maintained a strong passenger train system, as it seems that self driving vehicles may serve better, and help avoid paving the road to hell for power hungry Idiot Alpha types.

Someday maybe we will revive something like trains with self-driving vehicles linking up to them, or not.

Yes, I know that there are solar haters and wind haters, but the technologies will very likely continue to improve over time.  It is not likely that the weaknesses now present will remain uncorrected and unimproved over time.

Re: Humanoid and other robots.

Working on Space Stations, on the Moon, on Mars, walking fairly deep on the floor of the oceans.  Perhaps?

I don't think the above is the one I saw on my phone.  I will continue to search for it.

This might be it: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … &FORM=VIRE

OK, I don't thing Bing is finding it with this query: "Utube, Techno Creators, It's Happened! Elon Musk Confirmed Tesla Bot Gen3 Optimus Next Movement Features! Detail Explain!"

But the version I watched on my phone seemed to claim that Optimus could work 1000 meters under water????

I haven't been drinking.  We will have to see.

A bit of a repeat, but robots will be able to work on space stations, inside and out.

Also, again down to as much as 1000 meters under water.

I am impressed.
