#2Wow, I'm really excited about new autonomous mechanical beasts! What could possibly go wrong?
Re: RoboCat – A Self-Improving Robotic Agent
#3Was I the only one expecting a robotic cat? I am a little disappointed...
Re: RoboCat – A Self-Improving Robotic Agent
#4Next up: Teach it to be a fruit ninja.

#5How much is a real cat is wired a priori vs. learned?
And is some of the learning from observing other cats?

#6Performance on so few examples is impressive, paired with generalizability across broader tasks, and multiple embodiments + environments (and from just visual goals rather than complex verbal instructions) is quite a jump from where we saw Gato at last spring. If representative, seems a strong step toward meaningful autonomous skill acquisition/transference in realistic settings.

#7I really really really want to play with robotics at home, but I've discovered it's super expensive to get things like robotic arms at home. Are there robotics platforms that are DIY ready? I really just want to teach a robotic arm to make my coffee in the morning. And I'll apply my life's effort to achieving this only if the cost of the robotics platform is stupid low.
Yes. I know that's absurd. :)

#8What more would it take for google to succeed at something like:
"robot can plant, water and harvest food that only poor laborers from other countries did, replacing whole job categories in agro business along with other things like making blue collar immigration moot"?

Robots becoming 100x cheaper, or humans becoming 100x more expensive.

It’s just normally expensive, not really really expensive. You can get a robot arm for as cheap as 4k (comparable to 2 MacBooks or 1 GPU)
