Whereas in physical reality, you know the truth.
And this is an important difference.
And so I'm not, I think there is reason to be a little bit concerned about, you know, how these tools, large language models could be used, but I'm not very worried about how they're going to be used.
Well, how learning algorithms in general are going to be used on robotics.
It's really a different application that has different ways of verifying what's going on.
We have this partner, Levitas, that's adding the vision algorithms for gauge reading for us.
Just this week, I saw a demo where they hooked up a language tool to Spot, and they're talking to Spot to give it commands.
So it's a separate organization, the Boston Dynamics Artificial Intelligence Institute.
It's led by Mark Rayburn, the founder of Boston Dynamics and the former CEO, and my old advisor at MIT.
Mark has always loved the research, the pure research, without the confinement or demands of commercialization.
And he wanted to continue to pursue that unadulterated research.
