> How does this square with the video where they showed it running continuously for an hour doing an actual Amazon package sorting job? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkc2y0yb89U

The video shows several of glitches. From the comments:

  14:18 the Fall
  28:40 the Fall 2
  41:23 the Fall 3 

Also many of the packages on the left are there throughout the video.

But then I think lots of this can be solved in software and having seen how LLMs have advanced in the last few years, I'd not be surprised to see these robots useful in 5 years.

Three mistakes in an hour isn’t terrible, especially if that’s the last generation. As another commenter put it, this is the worst it’s ever going to be.

I only watched for 5 minutes, at double speed, but I saw a lot more than 3 mistakes fwiw

> this is the worst it’s ever going to be.

People keep parroting this line, but it's not a given, especially for such an ill-defined metric as "better". If I ask an LLM how its day was, there's no one right answer. (Users anthropomorphizing the LLM is a given these days, no matter how you may feel about that.)

Yeah but for things like packets dropped per hour there will probably be improvement.

Would asking the robot for a seahorse emoji leave you in a puddle of blood?

Thinking about it, I am sure it is only a matter of time until a self driving car or a robot will be used to kill a human. Or on a lower level for a DDoS attack - all cars/robots going to the white house.

> self driving car or a robot will be used to kill a human

They already have. We just don't hold the perpetrators accountable.

[rkomorn]

I think "has been used to kill" is a more serious accusation than "accidentally killed" (even if due to recklessness).

What case(s) are you thinking of?

[tim333]

Now there's an idea for Terminator 7.

I was confused by this because I assumed the robot fell over a few times - these are times that one of the piled up packages falls off or is a bit knocked off behind the robot (the second one seems to be knocked off by the elbow?).
