There's an interesting perspective: traditional automakers have been making cars for so many years, but in the end, what people remember might not be these cars, but a revolutionary humanoid robot product.

Following this logic, once mass production is achieved, the number of such robots could reach a billion—in other words, the human-to-machine ratio could approach 1:1. If that happens, it could be the most transformative technological product in human history. The reason is simple: large language models endow these machines with the ability to understand the world, enabling them to perform tasks that we don't want or are unwilling to do. The potential unlocked by this combination of capabilities is truly vast.

Billion-level humanoid robots? If this really takes off, traditional car companies will truly become antiques. Human-machine 1:1, just thinking about it makes me dizzy. Who is really working for whom? Combining large models with robots is indeed a combo, but it still feels like we need to wait and see how it will be implemented. LLM empowering robots to do dirty and tiring work—this idea isn't wrong, but I'm worried it might just be empty promises. Remember, humanoid robots don't remember cars? That logic is a bit wild, but it's not impossible. Before mass production, the cost issue must be solved first; otherwise, it will just be a toy for the wealthy. The era of a 1:1 human-machine ratio has truly arrived. Are we upgrading or being replaced? It's a bit scary. If this wave becomes a reality, it could be more revolutionary than the internet. But the prerequisite is that the technology is truly in place.

Hmm... Billions of robots, it sounds crazy but also somewhat plausible. LLMs have indeed changed everything. Wait, if it really becomes 1-to-1, what are we all still doing? Decades of car manufacturing results being overtaken by robots, traditional automakers must be suffocating. The cost curve for mass-producing billions of robots must be terrifying—who can monopolize this? But honestly, I'm more concerned about who will profit from this wave of dividends—it's definitely those big players again. I'm just worried that by the time robots are everywhere, we'll still be arguing about the future of Web3. If this becomes true, the crypto market might actually be the real store of value.

A billion robots? Bro, isn't this just the Terminator trailer? --- A 1:1 human-machine ratio, sounds outrageous... but maybe it’s not that bad? --- I just want to know who will repair these robots when the time comes. --- Honestly, it’s still the LLM stuff. Can it truly understand the world? I doubt it. --- Car companies are probably panicking now, feeling like they’ve been surpassed. --- If this becomes a reality, all our jobs will be gone... No, that’s not the point. --- A revolution-level product, just thinking about it is exciting. --- The question is, who will pay for these billion robots? Can they really afford it? --- Wait, humanoid robots are cheaper than humans? What about the underlying workers? --- We’ve entered the robot era, for sure. --- LLM empowerment + execution capability, this combo is indeed powerful.

Billions of robots? That number sounds outrageous, but upon closer thought, it doesn't seem that impossible. Humans to robots at a 1:1 ratio, and humans might really become the minority. But the question is, who will foot the bill for this? The wealthy class? The script where traditional car companies are completely crushed is becoming more and more real, a bit despairing. The combination of LLM and robots is indeed a nuclear-level thing. Will we witness history within the next ten years, everyone?
