This is not the argument clinic.

You said non-humanoid is a broad description like it's a negative. It's not. Fixating on making the robot humanoid unnecessarily narrows it down. Form and function are by definition not the same, so I don't understand what you mean by that. But I'm got going to stop because it seems.you're intentionally obtuse.

Yes that's the whole point. They're forcibly thinking in humanoid forms, while I dont care about form, I care about function. Make shit that's useful, and I dont care what package it comes in. In the vast majority of use cases it's incredibly cumbersome to have it in bipedal form; you to have reserve cpu power/mechanics/power for balance and shit, while not at all necessary for the tasks at hand.

Non-humanoids can theoretically do that too.

Why do they keep insisting on humanoid? Just give me the crushinator to do chores for $10,000.

That's because boter (butter) was/is a protected term in the Netherlands; 'boter' couldn't be used for anything but real butter. So instead of butter they used the term cheese. The translation however is accurate: 'peanut butter' is 'pindakaas' in Dutch.

If it's Russian windows I'd at least expect a wallpaper of a guy being autodefenestrated by some dark figure.
