It’s infuriating that some idiots actually managed to patent something as blindingly obvious as "using magnets to stick a silicone face to a robot skull." Will Cogley ran into this exact roadblock here: https://t.co/pEegASd2pz
For those curious, the patents (like US 8,888,553 & US 11,235,255 by Realbotix) literally just cover embedding magnets into a flexible mask so it snaps onto a rigid support. How is basic common sense considered a novel, patentable invention? The patent system is a joke
it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.
A specialized robot will always beat a humanoid at its one task. But building one humanoid design in huge volume is way cheaper than building 50 differnt specialized robots. Same factory, same parts, same software for all of them. Legs are the price you pay for being able to drop the same robot into any building without rebuilding the building.
@MCPVOT@techikansh Curious if they’ll change the price for us who signed up for monthly. Says $30 usd from 2nd month so seems we are locked in so far at least.
@AdriK0438922467 @BodyMindAI Kung fu is a closed skill demo where a policy can run end-to-end. The event tasks are open-world demos where teleop is often used to guarantee reliability. One doesn’t prove the other.
Pure, I do use my eyes and critical thinking 🙂
I’m not saying every EngineAI clip is beyond question. But the movement itself in this new video doesn’t feel impossible to me when you look at their real-world PM01 footage and what they’ve already shown the platform can do.
That’s why I’m leaning toward a different explanation than “it must be fake”. The styling looks deliberately CGI-ish to spark debate and amplify reach. I’ll link the PM01 clip for context.
@Ainthropos@CyberRobooo They never said that, the article may people refer to along with that claim is from November 17th and is about a different video - a short teaser engineAI released ahead of the videos just recently released. That video was clearly cgi, and they never claimed otherwise.
@bluberino123@chris_j_paxton I agree! And it’s working brilliantly! They could have released a standard demo, let people be like «hey that’s cool» and then the news gets lost in the sea of all other demos. But even after releasing the bts video people are still discussing and claiming cgi.
@NoAimNoGain @erikafunny21 @LinusEkenstam I think it was a deliberate choice to make it look cgi to drum up engagement. Why else would they have this bts video already ready for release less than 24 hours after.
