Testing Robustness
HEY, REMEMBER THAT dog-like robot, SpotMini, that Boston Dynamics showed off last week, the one that opened a door for its robot friend? Well, the company just dropped a new video starring the canine contraption. In this week’s episode, a human with a hockey stick does everything in his power to stop the robot from opening the door, including tugging on the machine, which struggles in an … unsettling manner.

“Researchers have engineered flying robots that behave like hummingbirds, training them with machine learning algorithms based on various techniques the bird uses naturally every day.
This means that after learning a simulation, the robot “knows” how to move around on its own like a hummingbird would.
The combination of flying like a bird and hovering like an insect could one day offer a better way to maneuver through collapsed buildings and other cluttered spaces to find trapped victims.” Source: Scientists Created a Hummingbird Robot with AI and It’s Kind of Adorable
Adorable? Am I the only one who thinks this is terrifying? Can you say Skynet?
Radical Self-Honesty: The Joy of Getting Real
Tara Brach is one of my favorite teachers. She writes:
Radical self-honesty cuts through the veils of delusion. When we courageously contact the truth of each moment and welcome it into a forgiving, tender space of compassion, the light of our heart shines through.

The road is the goal and we are always on the road
Yes…
“Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.”
