He convertit 1.370 gegants reals de Catalunya en un repositori per imprimir o pintar online per al meu fill que en demanava CADA DIA i jo ja no en trobava per enlloc.

Tot generat amb IA. Cost total en generació d'imatges: 0€.

I el més interessant no és la IA generant, sinó la IA auditant el seu propi treball.

I'm observing a mini Moravec's paradox within robotics: gymnastics that are difficult for humans are much easier for robots than "unsexy" tasks like cooking, cleaning, and assembling. It leads to a cognitive dissonance for people outside the field, "so, robots can parkour & breakdance, but why can't they take care of my dog?" Trust me, I got asked by my parents about this more than you think ...

The "Robot Moravec's paradox" also creates the illusion that physical AI capabilities are way more advanced than they truly are. I'm not singling out Unitree, as it applies widely to all recent acrobatic demos in the industry. Here's a simple test: if you set up a wall in front of the side-flipping robot, it will slam into it at full force and make a spectacle. Because it's just overfitting that single reference motion, without any awareness of the surroundings.

Here's why the paradox exists: it's much easier to train a "blind gymnast" than a robot that sees and manipulates. The former can be solved entirely in simulation and transferred zero-shot to the real world, while the latter demands extremely realistic rendering, contact physics, and messy real-world object dynamics - none of which can be simulated well.

Imagine you can train LLMs not from the internet, but from a purely hand-crafted text console game. Roboticists got lucky. We happen to live in a world where accelerated physics engines are so good that we can get away with impressive acrobatics using literally zero real data. But we haven't yet discovered the same cheat code for general dexterity.

Till then, we'll still get questioned by our confused parents.

Abans de la Guerra Civil, a Barcelona se celebrava una rua multitudinària de Carnaval al passeig de Gràcia, on desfilaven carrosses espectaculars.

Aquest és un fil amb fotos de la rua de 1935, ara fa 90 anys 👇

Queda clar que tots aquells que fan espectacles en castellà ja no poden dir q és “para llegar a mas gente” o “per vendre més”. Simplement estan castellanitzant els nostres teatres. El seu pla és la substitució lingüística encara que ho neguin. Lliris els mínims.

Before 3D printing there was the photo sculpture, a process invented in the XIX century for the reproducing subjects in 3-dimensions by taking a series of photos in the round. This is a 1939 footage
