We'll see the first widespread practical use of robotics models in war. Much more politically popular to send the boys to the factory than to the front, and the robots won't even need to be particularly precise.
We'll see them used first in smaller scale conflicts, and then wider use once the next large war breaks out. Like 3D printed guns (currently being used by rebel factions in Myanmar), open sourcing accelerates this, but it's inevitable either way.
"Though, if you work at physical intelligence and are reading this, you may consider changing the model name to 'openpi'; please don't make people hunt for the special characters to talk about your work!"
Please don't - people will confuse the name with OpenAI :)
