#133Makes sense. The end state appears to be that humans should only be supervising ML that generates goal and outcome based behaviors for robots, and the machines will construct tools to solve problems themselves. The leap from an AI model learning how to replicate a behaviour (e.g. evolving walking to solve problems https://unitylist.com/p/2id/walking-ai ) to reasoning about it in terms of actuators and physical feedba…
They can't even give me relevant ads in youtube, you think they are going to solve all those problems in 20 years? not even in 200

Those have gotten way worse. It’s an SEO thing right?

#135i might be willing to free up my garage for a laundry folding robot
I'm freeing up my garage for a robot that knits me a new set of clothes every day.

#136Earlier quoted context omitted.
>noone wants to work those jobs anymore The implication of that in turn is that these US companies aren't willing to pay at a rate that would be competitive in the market
Or that Americans aren't willing to work for the prevailing global wage that manufacturing workers demand. Why would any company keep manufacturing here when labor is so expensive? Effective manufacturing robots would allow manufacturing to move back to the us.
The government buys a shitload of stuff and everything has to be sourced* and made in America*.
*There are exceptions, but they are rare.

#137Nice. Here's much the same job, being done almost 50 years ago, by a robot at the Stanford AI lab.[1] This robot has both vision and force feedback, and uses them to assemble an automotive water pump. It does the coarse alignment visually, and the fine alignment by feel. [1] https://archive.org/details/sailfilm_pump
The point is fast (and hence cheap) training to bring existing technology to smaller companies, not doing anything new and advanced.

https://www.mujin.co.jp/en/ This is not manual or bespoke and it has sensors. The videos are incredible and they work in real life already. This one is it moving petri dishes full of liquid without spilling! This is obviously not being pre-programmed to move along some kind of 1980s style fixed paths for welding parts as Alphabet apparently thinks everyone is still doing. The obliviousness of suggesting that using ML…
It doesn't seem like Alphabet thinks that? Their ad copy explicitly compares "training times".
