■ In this week's AI Lab:Giving AI a physical form reveals a revolutionary new approach to robotics. Also, AI robot design, decoding Claude Code, and the small-mindedness of large language models.
We may be on the brink of a robotics breakthrough
I recently gave my OpenClaw a real robot arm to play with. The results just about blew my own neural network.
The AI agent was able to configure the arm, use it to see and slowly grab things, and even train another AI model to pick up and place specific objects. And they say AGI is still a few years away! (I’m joking, it probably is).
Subscribe today to continue receiving my full newsletter each week. I've been writing about AI and related themes for over a decade (since neural networks were considered a dead end, in fact). I'm fascinated by how innovation occurs and how it affects the economy. And I want to understand the global picture, rather than just the world as viewed through the lens of Silicon Valley.
So, if you're keen to keep track of advances from the world of computing—AI, robotics, quantum, chipmaking, and more—that have the potential to transform the way we live ... this is the newsletter you for you.
