"Noam Shazeer said on a Dwarkesh podcast that he stopped cleaning his garage, because a robot will be able to do it very soon".

How much is the robot going to cost in a year? 100k? 200k? Not mass market pricing for sure.

Meanwhile, today he could pay someone $1000 to clean his garage.



I would do it for free, just to answer the question of what does a genius of his caliber have in his garage? Probably the same stuff most people do, but it would still be interesting.

I don’t think the point was about having a clean space, it was in response to a question along the lines of: when do you think we will achieve AGI?


Trust me, I’m a genius of his caliber. Want to clean my garage? You free next week?


If you are on the west coast, I am available between Nov 18 and Dec 6.

I will actually show up, ready and willing. I will not record or post anything: username@gmail. Could be fun, and I know when to go away.

I realize that his is a silly long shot, but hey... I just bought the tickets.
