if waymo shows data that the Waymo Foundation Model is doing better on accuracy and generalizability, i will certainly take note. (or if Waymo states clearly an unambigiously that the Waymo Foundational Model has entirely displaced the prior system, which that blog does not say).

Discussion on Neuro-Symbolic AI and LLM Integration in Autonomous Systems
By

you need both for optimal function; that’s the claim i have been making for 30 years. neuro+symbolic. as a point of fact though, most of waymo’s LLM stuff at least as of last summer was still experimental. i am not actually sure how much lift they are getting from LLMs in

Humanoid robot outlasts human in package-sorting endurance test
By

A human just barely beat a humanoid robot at sorting packages. 12,924 vs. 12,732 over 10 hours. The human's forearm is "basically broken." The robot is still going. 131,000 packages. 106 hours. No breaks. The scoreboard tells one story. The endurance tells another.

Innovation and AI: Autonomous Vehicles, Home Robots, and NVIDIA Jetson

Again. I'm talking specifically about innovation. Do any of those people own an autonomous vehicle? Do any of them have a robot in their homes? Do any of them know what an NVIDIA Jetson card is and why they might want one in their oven?
