Bullish or bullshitting?

Why is the focus on scale when no one has ever built a single humanoid robot that is useful for anything yet? One real world Rosie would be more valuable than a million "Optimus" bots.

It is logistically impossible for the West to manufacture robots anywhere approaching the scale and cost of China. They control the materials, the refinement, the advanced manufacturing, the vertical integration, and a cheap labor force, to say nothing of a planned economy that can pivot on a dime to execute any demand there's available capital for. It is laughable to think the West can produce robots that compete with China.

If tomorrow morning we decided to pull a Manhattan Project just to match China's capacity for cheap effective robotics, it would take 10 years. By then China has already found their product-market fit and secured the world as a customer.
