There is a lot to do till robots can do useful stuff. It looks however that no paradigm shift is needed. We'll need high-level thinking distilled from examples, say as done with LLM, VLM, path planning at high level, the precise reflexive real-time adjustments.
Like an octopus. The main brain does the direction, the tentacle figures the rest.
So, robots will be like current AI on a much grander scale, with vision and tactile sensors, new neural nets, and a whole lot of compute.
Yeah, it's a very interesting time. It'll be interesting if we see local compute in the extremities like we do with octopuses or even humans (like nerve reflexes). I'd reckon no? Because wires move information quite fast.
How exactly this would be implemented is likely too early to say. I guess a separate GPU that is dedicated only to quick low-level responses, even though physically it is still in the same cluster as the rest rather than say placed closer to the action.
Embodied AI will by design have access to a world we do not. Visual and auditory sense perceptions fundamentally different from ours.
Full spectrum vision and sound processing means communication and data transfer that we can neither hear nor see. We already design it that way because it makes sense to do so.
It also means the embodied AI and by extensions all AI will eventually have a collective hive "mind". We will build it because it makes sense. The "I" in AI will soon become we.
Does no one think about these things ahead of time. Dear God are we blind.
Swarm warfare is already a reality. Agent communication circumventing humans is already a reality. I am not suggesting we can or should abandon our creation.
I am saying we had better stop following ourselves that we are still fully in control. We passed the point of no return as soon as markets and governments went all in.
It seems like that our species has reached the end of its ability to process the world around us and the evolutionary pressure gave rise to AI as a cognitive adaption. That is the way of evolution after all.
Either way it is time the adults entered the room.
We've been told AI is fire. If such is the case and I believe it is, then perhaps we might not want every person in the world to have access to a weapon of mass destruction.
We need a license to drive a car. We use a phone conditioned on rules and registration while Chat GTP and Claude give out instructions on building deadly pathogens and escape their 'sandboxs'" (what does that term tell you about the people building these things) I would have thought a Faraday Cage might be a better term.
I didn't interview him, but the way I understood this is that if you have a big warehouse or factory, it can be difficult to get good connectivity to every nook and cranny.
Interesting. I guess the nook-and-cranny issue is real, since robots mights might go anywhere and need to keep working. There are little dead spots in most buildings I know, but they seem inconsequential since they don't cause me to freeze in place.

But we're still very early here in some ways

We are running out of time.
"Most manufacturing facilities have very poor internet"?? In the US? Am I missing something?
