That's what I thought too. It reminded me of my sister's 1.5 year old.

Reminds me of the uk second division of football. Brutal. Hard contact. Referee not really brave enough to send off the home teams defence.

Toddlers can't be given an assault rifle and become expert marksmen within a day. Don't let these cute demonstrations distract you from the long term goals of these projects. Let's not forget our own history. Einstien's research was weaponised into the atomic bomb, research at John Hopkins into developing a global positioning system was weaponised into ICBM technology and so on. No matter how benign research may seem, all it requires is for a government to see military applications and then swoop in to claim the technology for themselves in the name of national security.

@@KryyssTV technology is inherently neutral, it can be used for good or for bad. A needle can give someone with diabetes insulin or it can give a heroin addict an OD. These robots could be murder bots on the battle field or they could be savior bots for swat teams against a hostage situation. It is all in how you view the technology. Generally though they are going to just put your groceries away and (a variant of them) assemble your products.

It won't be amazing for you if you are not a 1%er: AI and its Impact on Society Oct 31, 2023, updated on April 11, 2024 We must ask ourselves, "What will happen when AI has taken 85% of jobs present in 2020?

What is disturbing is that while AI is taking these jobs, the gov't and the corporations have not done ANYTHING to prepare us for an AI'ed civilization. They have not said anything about major retraining of an entire economy to something else, and they have not followed up on a discussion of universal basic income.

Then we train robots made to look like attractive people for "entertainment".

Then we train them in martial arts, and watch them create their own fighting style.

Then we create milions of them, and distribute them around the world.

then we die (skipping a few unnecessary steps)

​@@AfonsodelCByou ruined a beautiful chain comment.

Rotflmao

I don't think so. It's going to take much longer until they become viable killing machines. They might learn to move around and manipulate their environment to a certain degree, but they will 1. lack the intelligence to figure out solutions to novel problems in the fly and 2. Are easy to be disabled by small dysfunctions. So, if you had a humanoid soldier robot, you could probably halt it by either throwing a bunch of rope/wire on them or block their path and vision by unconventional obstacles, or you could simply damage any one of their motor units just slightly for them to completely stop Functioning. Eventually they will be near unstoppable, but for the next few decades they wont be a real danger. Now, swarms of autonomous flying drones however will be absolutely horrifying. Flying is much easier than walking, so when we will use robots in war, at first they are going to be drones. Actually I'm pretty sure we are already doing that.

​@@stephanieellison7834 Keep your conspiracy garbage out of this. Citing "reported by some KZfaq videos" says it all. Of course big corporations and the way capitalist economy works will have many lose their jobs and don't give a damn/take all the income they get from using AI and robots and shove it up ultra rich's behinds again (just like it happened with most technological advances that were supposed to make "everyone work less and richer"). However then pathetically trying to connect this to a while conspiracy and the killing of the majority is just insane. There are literally thousands of easier ways to get rid of most people if your claimed connections and perfectly cooperating evil actually existed in this way. The reality is way more primitive and sad: Rich and powerful people can't get enough and have close to 0 ethics. Their greed leads them to hoard more and more of it no matter the cost for the rest of us. And no, the majority WON'T die and no they don't need to go through all of that to get a big mansion lmao.

You can knock 25 years of that prediction.

I can see then next paper to hold on to forming as you post. 👍

Thats really not a bad idea. Battery life will be for a very long time biggest limit on what robots can do

This is the problem with using simulated environments to train. It's a necessary first-step just so the embodied AI can even function in a basic manner in the wild, but without an excessively stupid amount of real-world training in the thousands, or millions of hours navigating the real world, any AI deployed without those edge-case scenarios will only be useful in hyper-controlled real-world environments which limits usefulness and full autonomy. Guess which company has millions of hours of real-world embodied AI data to train their robots from?

@@CharveL88 I don't know, the point of this research is to show how effective in-simulation training can be. The trained model was applied to the real robots with almost no tweaking and yet they still work pretty decently. They make a point in the paper that they could have done more to allow the robots to perform better but that would disguise how well they performed zero-shot. It basically proves that you can go a long way by simulating the real world and using that to train your model which could allow you to develop a model more quickly and cheaply than what you could achieve by train in the real world only.

@@aspuzling I completely agree. However, I was just making a point addressing the obvious next step, and really the end-goal of AI training; to make them useful in the real world without being micro-managed or geo-fenced, even in a specific use case. Sure, these next few years are going to get saturated with semi-autonomous robots loaded with AI for specific tasks, but it won't be long at all before they'll need a real-world stack that understands the natural world through vision in order to be safe around humans.

Because otherwise you would damage yourself 😢

Pain and pleasure are important for survival.

Right! It was super fun.

Well, they do have anthropoid (humanlike) morphology (shape) ?

I tried it on my virtual machine. They refuse to play football at that point and claim that it's for boomers.

They'll be chasing us down a dark alley is what they will do.

​@user-cg7gd5pw5b I tried it and they stopped playing too, only they told me existence is pointless. Hopefully with a bit more training time they'll get through this phase.

more training time wouldn't help much, the reason they move like toddlers is because their robot body has a low strength to weight ratio, the simulations that train AI's with stronger bodies move a lot more fluidly. If we want them to run and walk better, we need to build better robots for them with stronger and faster limbs. But for the bodies that they're in now, their movements are pretty close to optimal, which puts a lot of perspective into why toddlers move the way that they do.

@@CalebTerryRED Bodies matter but I've seen a lot of longer simulations that go through this rough stage of movement and then emerge with very athletic and life-like motion

hahahh already is 🤣🤣

after training 5 million years in 5 hours the robots, built better robots to transfrom the universe into a football field

@@madwlad799 haha yes. I'm thinking things should get interesting at the 5 billion years mark!, after the robots evolved their own agi and reached singularity before simulating new universe in which people evolved to create computers that simulate robots at an accelerating speed!

​​@@theUnmanifestdamn. That's a great sci-fi prompt. Imagine training a artificial intelligence for 5 billion years and then actually putting it in a real body. After 5 billion years of thinking and questioning you reveal to it that it has actually spend all that time in a simulation, and it only took 5 minutes for it to experience billions of years, but now it has reached baseline reality. It would probably start screaming and wailing, or commit suicide.

​@@carlpanzram7081 "It would probably start screaming and wailing, or commit suicide." why lol? Soon people will work out that agi will not go crazy, and not become suicidal either haha. By working out the fairly simple mechanism behind us doing these things, which that our ego is a biological system of identities, all working towards achieving their individual goals. Emotions pushes the organism to act on and prioritize giving the control of the organism to whichever identity has the most intense one at the moment. (someone will likely drop studying in this moment if a super hot girl/guy ask them to follow them in the bedroom, prioritizing a new desire) Feeling bored, sad, suicidal, stressed, greedy etc... are all result of one or more of the accumulated identities having failed at achieving their programmed desires. All this is what self-realization is, it's just how things work and ai will pickup on that real quick and will, by nature, eventually be able to understand and even simulate a typical human mind but will not be susceptible to the same issues that we had.

Yup, you are completely right, we are already working on it. Happy Easter, Fellow Scholar! 🙂
