"We have turned general intelligence into a commodity. Any aspect of any situation, process, system, domain, etc. which was formerly starved of intelligence may now be supplied with it. The value unlock here is unspeakable."

@mckaywrigley @powerbottomdad1 Oh i do trust you McKay and now feel silly since I believe this is legit but it seems I don't know Brett's reputation? Do you really think this is all teleoperated? Huge scam if so

[Sam Rodriguez @SamyRodrguez]

@emollick It's to implicitly showcase the fault tolerance of the system. As Brett mentioned there are backups waiting for this guy to get tired 3-4h in.

@adcock_brett @nuthatch9s What do you mean by high? 50%?

[Sam Rodriguez @SamyRodrguez]

@benhylak It seems you are just comment farming since by looking at the task for 15+ seconds its already obvious what it is

Balancing commercial goals and robotics research can be tricky, but with Atlas we're making it work.

You are made of alien nanotechnology

You are the most advanced technology in the known galaxy by far

This is a question of whether ergonomics will continue matter at all in the future. I would guess ergonomics will always matter.

I take your point, and I even would go further to say that many GUIs don't need to exist at all. If the machine understands your goal then everything can happen invisibly. The software should disappear.

However, I see these bespoke just-in-time UIs being primarily useful for one-time tasks or project-specific software that has brief utility.

If the tool is being used repeatedly then it wants to conform to the user and task in a repeatable way. This is where design, engineering, and dare I say "taste", comes in. You don't want an interface to change every time you use it.

Most people are not alone in their needs, and their collective need forms a market.

Recurring usage is an evolutionary pressure that pushes a tool to fit the purpose and the market.

The mirage of on-demand digital everything is very seductive. I saw it disappoint so many people in my industrial design and manufacturing career. There is an allure to digital manufacturing methods (like 3D printing) because you can change the output every time. But those manufacturing methods have can never compete on cost efficiency, predictability, refinement, polish. The benefits of tooling are so enormous that everyone immediately switches to those methods if the product has any scale. The critical mass is surprisingly small.

Even in a world of agentic code factories where the customer may be human or agent, you will see autonomous structures align themselves around repeatable methods, predictable tooling, and ergonomically consistent interfaces. They too will have cost pressures, presumably being the support agents and supply chain operators in this world.

Humans are fundamentally social, and have relatively similar needs to one another. For that reason there will always be a need for tools and objects, whether physical or virtual, that are ergonomically and evolutionarily fit to a specific cohort.

This is the Iranian hero and master climber who scaled the walls of the Islamic regime’s embassy in London today.

He tore down the regime flag and flew Iran’s real flag instead

The Lion of Iran has awakened.

Iranians are rejecting Islam, the Islamic Republic, and Sharia Law en masse.

I've never been more proud to be Iranian.

@levelsio 🇻🇪 is now under control of the same thugs that surrounded Maduro which are the same and worse. @marcorubio is "expecting more cooperation" with them —whatever that means. I really hope they mean cooperation to negotiate their exit. But sadly 🇻🇪 as of now remains very much red.

[Sam Rodriguez @SamyRodrguez]

This is a great historical moment but its only the beginning, true celebration comes only when the democratic transition is completed and @EdmundoGU & @MariaCorinaYA are in their elected positions. They chopped one head of the hydra but it remains alive and in control.

[UN Watch @UNWatch]

Venezuelan opposition leader: “Some people talk about invasion in Venezuela. And I answered: Venezuela has been already invaded. We have the Russian agents, we have the Iranian agents. We have terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, operating freely in accordance with the regime. We have the Colombian Guerilla, the drug cartels that have taken over 60% of our population, and not only involving drug trafficking, but in human trafficking, in networks of prostitution. So this has turned Venezuela into the criminal hub of the Americas, and what sustained the regime is a very powerful and strongly funded repression system.”

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

El pueblo venezolano está hoy liberado de la dictadura de Nicolás Maduro y no puede sino celebrarlo.

Al confiscar el poder y pisotear las libertades fundamentales, Nicolás Maduro ha cometido una grave afrenta contra la dignidad de su propio pueblo.

La transición que se abre debe ser pacífica, democrática y respetuosa de la voluntad del pueblo venezolano. Deseamos que el presidente Edmundo González Urrutia, elegido en 2024, pueda asegurar esta transición lo antes posible.

En estos momentos, mantengo conversaciones con nuestros socios de la región.

Francia está plenamente movilizada y vigilante, en particular para garantizar la seguridad de sus ciudadanos en estas horas de incertidumbre.

No me gusto *nada* la narrativa de @realDonaldTrump sobre Delcy vs Maria Corina:
Delcy:
- "Esta dispuesta a hacer todo lo necesario para hacer a Venezuela grande de nuevo"
Maria Corina:
- "No creo que ella pueda asumir el poder por que no tiene soporte dentro del pais"
