1. The Premise

Every week brings fresh proclamations that bipedal humanoids and autonomous reasoning models are months away from rendering human labor obsolete. Meanwhile, in physical reality, state-of-the-art robots continue to be dramatically defeated by threshold rugs, privacy curtains, and 4-inch staircases.

Stupid Tech Shit tracks this exact delta: the grand claim versus the undignified pratfall.
