As the father of two daughters who participated on @FIRSTweets teams in high school (the older one continued her excitement around robotics & just finished her PhD in robotics and ML a couple of months ago), I'm very happy to see @Googleorg supporting robotics participation!

By

I do appreciate that ChatGPT constantly reminds you that it is a language model, doesn't have human experiences, feelings, etc. Marketing teams on the other hand… the overselling brings up expectations and has resulted in the downfall of many social robotics companies.

LLMs just got eyeballs and opposable thumbs and you can probably run them for free from the solar charger on your roof. pic.twitter.com/lhp1J5CKcpThere’s going to be a “Before Optimus” and “After Optimus” timeline in the history books.
