#2One more step towards the 'Terminator' scenario.
And everyone said it would be decades away.
Edit. So many downvotes -- here have a /s (sarcasm)

#3The linked post from DeepMind has more detail - https://www.deepmind.com/blog/rt-2-new-model-translates-visi...
EDIT: And here's the paper pdf - https://robotics-transformer2.github.io/assets/rt2.pdf

#4Robotics is such a lovely world. For the hobbyists, I'm really curious about how to get the home-brew robotics training lab working at home? The last time I reviewd this, you'd spend thousands of dollars just to get a reasonable robotic arm. Right now, if work is relegated to the rich research departments of mega corporations, this certainly doesn't seem more interesting than a corporate press release..

#5The Portal-themed animation really sells it as a step in the right direction. ;)
Seriously though, I’m excited to see where this goes. AI is progressing so fast now that newcomers loudly proclaim “AI is dead” and “going nowhere” when they haven’t seen SotA beaten for a whole month, because they don’t remember the times when a small improvement in a decade was big news.

#6This is a step towards what I think AGI would be: a model trained on visual and language data from the Internet used as a prior for an action model (finetuned perhaps with reinforcement learning) that would be able to learn how to use the frozen prior to make useful actions; I would separate the prior from the action model so there is no possibility of catastrophic forgetting (this is dealt by co-fine-tuning the model in the RT-2 paper), and because a more advanced robot would need to control more actions quickly, so it would be expensive to run the entire prior just to do basic movements in real time.
Edit: also, the model should be smart about how to use its "context window", when the robot is taught how to do a task and it needs to do that task, it must retain the knowledge.

They did, in 1984 and 1991. It's now been decades. It's even almost two decades since people felt it was now ok to call a robotics company Cyberdyne[0].
Decades have passed, and with pretty much no actual surprises on the way, we're steadily marching towards creating robots with the power to destroy humanity. We haven't made much progress on time travel though, so whatever happens, we probably won't have a chance at a do-over.

This is false to very large degree, you have simulations for robotics, and you can buy/build your self cheaper versions.

> work is relegated to the rich research departments of mega corporations
idk there is plenty of universities that have robotics labs.. Probably the best value is to apply for masters etc if you are interested in that..

#10So we gonna have Robot like in girl front line in near future ?
