And we would actually build boxes full of rocks and bring them into the lab.
And then we would have the robots walking across these boxes of rocks because that became the essential test.
Well, I'll say, to address the meta question, we don't try to draw hard lines around it being an it or a him or a her.
It's okay, right?
People, I think part of the magic of these kinds of machines is by nature of their organic movement, of their dynamics, we tend to want to identify with them.
We tend to look at them and sort of attribute
maybe feeling to that, because we've only seen things that move like this that were alive.
And so this is an opportunity.
It means that you could have
feelings for a machine.
And you know, people have feelings for their cars.
You know, they get attracted to them, attached to them.
So that's inherently could be a good thing as long as we manage what that interaction is.
So we don't put strong boundaries around this and ultimately think it's a benefit, but it's also can be a bit of a curse because I think people look at these machines
And they attribute a level of intelligence that the machines don't have.
Why?
Because again, they've seen things move like this that were living beings, which are intelligent.
And so they want to attribute intelligence to the robots that isn't appropriate yet, even though they move like an intelligent being.
And have a little fun with it.
Our most recent video, it's just kind of fun to look at the robot.
