Reflex robots can make a smoothie and help around the house

Yes its 2x speed and teleop but its still incredible

Please take this in a "why are people forcibly microchipping employees" way not a "why is the government doing things" way

Why is this necessary

my bill to ban employers from forcibly microchipping is raising a lot of questions answered by my bill

Your Amazon robot delivery vehicle has one stop before your address

uh huh, sure. cool cool cool

These crazy videos of Chinese delivery robots from Neolix (and maybe similar companies) are my new favorite thing

are wombats cubic

this is what happens when you vibe code a war

where were you when the robots discovered oviposition

Putting aside everything else, thsse models are all multi modal and have been for years, so its a bit weird to be stuck on "all they can do is model words"

I have a confession. I have the AI sickness real bad. I'm completely addicted to the dopamine rush of getting shit done.

I would love some falsifiable predictions about what language models won't be able to do in a year, (or even at this very moment.)

There's an explosion in the video

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

only slightly behind schedule for the plot of accelerando then

The First Multi-Behavior Brain Upload The Singularity has belonged exclusively to artificial minds, until now.

I did not realize that emulation was this far ahead. The previous iteration was able to do very simple behavior like extending and retraction a tongue based on smell, but now they have an uploaded fly brain capable of controlling a simulated fly. Won't be too long until lobsters at this rate

I have been thinking for a while about what AI coding agents mean for robotics. Will AI assisted design and better simulation change the rules and mean that scaling a single form factor doesn't make sense?

Correct

Robots for package delivery are kind of a big deal. An old post of mine on hyperlogistics:
