The secret to success for OpenAI, Anthropic and labs is the vision that they saw 10 years back and kept working on it. We're in awe of how models like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 are performing today, but it's important to understand that they've been working on this before we knew about AI.
The next big thing is Robots and some stealth company building today is going to be a trillion-dollar giant in few years time.
I assume the first versions will have local AI handling basic functions like balance and motion, and remote AI handling higher-level decisionmaking. I also agree that robots feel like something we should approach very cautiously, but of course we’re not.
I think as soon as we have GenAI robots, when you ask it to do the dishes, it will roll its eyes and complain that the detergent smells bad and corrodes its extensors, and you should do the dishes because you are the only one who eats, and besides its charge is down to 47% and it gets a processor-ache when it gets below 50%, and it didn't ASK to be purchased.

IMHO, robots won't become a thing until they're running local AI, at which point they will become the thing that crushes humanity.
