RE: segmenting the topics of your podcasts - I often find this to be a very useful feature and I thank you much for the time you spend to do it. Two reasons: (1) sometimes I want to come back and give another listen to try to better understand, or just because I particularly enjoyed something, and thanks to you it’s already indexed (relevant to ‘how to read’ book convo), and (2) sometimes it’s the opposite and I’m not that into a topic and I know exactly how far ahead to skip to the next one.

take a look at Raven Protocol it is a decentralized and distributed deep-learning training protocol and very undervalued.
"We" are shaping the new sub-set of values around AI/Robots, I am concerned about the intellectual emphasis on "feeling" re the robot and the emotions it could invoke on us the "serviced" in that moment. However, our world include our "left behind by automation" neighbour who has an equal vote thankfully. Automation/robots are just tools. Not so, only if you get your values re other humans muddled-up. Well done and thank you for an absorbing channel.

Hugh Higley I can’t wait till we see the first generation of AGI, like the bridge between Narrow AI, and General Purpose AI...... Think we can get there by 2030? That is if we don’t have an AI winter next year. There’s only been one small breakthrough this year in AI so far that has allowed unsupervised learning at the speed of light. But I still think we need a major breakthrough in hardware, I think the software is out there for AGI.

Seems to me that nature combines control and physics as part of its overall solutions to problems. For example, insects bump into things, which partly solves the problem of how to avoid obstacles, ie don't bother, or don't try hard, it's not worth it. So the physical structure of an insect, the nature of the world within which it functions, and the control provided by its simple brain and sensors, are all parts of the solution. The environment limits what is actually needed. The physical structure limits the need for too much computational complexity. The simple brain uses simple clues to recognise situations (eg finding a mate) and it does not matter if it gets things wrong some of the time as long as doing so is not fatal. So there is an optimisation that has evolved that encompasses all of environment, physical structure, sensors, and the limited control capacity of the brain. Sophisticated brains consume more energy, so a solution that minimises brain energy consumption is important. Maybe this is also why humans prefer to avoid thinking by jumping on bandwagons, ie rely on other people having thought something out already.

Evolutionarily speaking, homo sapiens and even early hominids such as homo erectus started walking upright due to change in environmental conditions, as well as behaviourally advantageous. When the Sahara dried up and less trees/territories where available for the large pop. size, hominids started walking over open terrain, were it helped seeing further, over long grass from a higher altitude viewpoint. As Lex said, having freer hands for weapons and social activities (carrying food).

Nah, the early ancestors started walking by wading in the streams in the areas around their homelands among the trees. The water helped them gain an upright position with buoyancy, and protected them from cat predators. Think that over.

Yes. And for people looking for advice on starting barefoot running: 1) Make sure you've had a Tetanus shot at least in the last ten years. 2) Start by walking barefoot, anywhere you can, but certainly along the path you plan to run. It can take awhile for your feet to get used anything rougher or harder than grass or dirt. If you'll be on sidewalks or roads, it might be a couple/few weeks for your soles to toughen up.

A wonderful human conversation about robotics. Thank you. My amateur comments: 1. A great Japanese SF short story about a robot bar girl: “Bokko-Chan” by Shinichi Hoshi. 2. A great Chinese SF short story about the loneliness of a future world full of robots. “Goodnight Melancholy” by Xia Jia 3. A remembered ending to a story I wrote: An aging man sits in front of the fireplace with his lifelong companion, a talking robot dog, and the man says, “You robots have it easy, because you never die.” The robot dog says, “It’s true we never die, but we do not have it easy, because you see-we never forget.” 4. When we replace human companions with robots or VR worlds, we might lose something. In the Dirt World, we humans always have some, even if slight, risk, that other humans in our presence might kill us. This gives human interactions a stronger flavor of life. Thank you. William L.

The problems of underactuated robotics and contact physics are specifically the problems that an AGI will need to solve before it's truly intelligent in our real world. I really wish AGI and robotics were more of a priority for our civilization. The current investment is so small in the scope of our actual resources. Seeing Russ's talks are very inspirational in real life and here on your podcast, they truly show how far we have to go.

That's the way it was introduced in statics and mechanics of materials. Maybe that kind of modeling is intractable, but weird to not mention it at all.
